So, have had the bike for about 3 weeks. Accumulated ~50 miles till now. Now that the weather is improving, hopefully can ride more regularly. Found some awesome bike paths around where I live. Good fun. :D

SC Loaded ;) http://www.techenclave.com/show-off/vroom-vroom-165230.html

My schedule is sorta ubiquitous with ~11km of travel during evening time minus what I travel during day time.

Today I had maximum of 30kmph for 40sec, with an average of 20.1kmph over 11km. Had to stop couple of time during bad traffic :mad:

Ohh and guys please post some bike maintenance tips ;)

Appo don't use imgx its down quite a few times, rather use picasa or imageshack.
 
wipe down your chain and derailluers every 3-4 days and oil movable parts every month

no other maintainence needed unless something goes wrong

keep a spare tube and toolkit with you incase of puncture
 
Finally a bike computer for my ride...

Went on my first real dirt trail :)

The excursion was a mix of a lot of road biking with the dirt trail thrown in.

Here's the route:
