Welcome to Hyderabad. Some of the other specialty Cycling stores in Hyderabad are 1. The Bike Affair (Kondapur) 2. Peddlers Point (Gachibowli) 3. The Yellow Jersey (Punjagutta and 100 ft rd, Ayyapa Society) Quite a few of the reputed brands are sold in these stores. You may also join the Hyderabad Bicycling Club (HBC) and take part in the different group rides originating from most parts of the city. All the best !! | ||

That said- I'll say- take it slowly. Taking breaks at 15 km intervals is a MUST. Plenty of water of course- be kitted up. And yeah remember - "Slow & steady wins the race" . If nighttime riding is involved- lights, along with a reflector jacket (if possible!) is a must. Importantly - RIDE SAFE.

b. Carry 2L of water (max nimbu pani) and an electral sachet for backup. c. Sip water every 10-15km on the move even if you're not thirsty. d. Don't take breaks till 40-50km. Thereafter, take a break as your body may demand - i'd always suggest one relaxing bigger break than breaks every 15-20km. That's just been my style. Alternatively, if you like stopping to click photos, no need to stop for hydration separately. e. Minimize eating, esp fried stuff. I'm assuming you're already well kitted (i.e padded shorts). Do keep a tube of Rashfree just in case, to prevent chafing. Quote:

THAT- Is seriously my dream bicycle. Utterly retro- These things were in the vogue in the 'Fifties & 'Sixties. My grandfather used to ride one. Excellent mod! Loved it!  | |

| Sigma Rox 5.0 cycle computer unboxing Sigma Rox 5.0 Unboxing 👍    Heart rate monitor , speed and cadence sensor  Don't know how much comfortable will it be to wear the heart rate monitor belt. Will update after fair usage.     The one feature which I missed in my Sigma 12.12, back light.  With my old Sigma 12.12  Any questions guys, I will be more than happy to answer Last edited by ecenandu : 17th February 2015 at 19:03. |

| Senior - BHPian  | Re: The Bicycles thread Good investment compared to the Garmins, ecenandu. My friend has the same model. The heart rate band is pretty comfortable except for the occasional beep. He had some issues setting up the cadence sensor. I have the 16.12 STS CAD and quality is top notch. Another friend has the Cateye wireless and it keeps missing data.

The main reason I went for this is because of the experience with Sigma 12.12, my friend bought a cheaper computer but it keep reseting and won't work properly. Now he is going to use the 12.12. Strange, even I had an issue while setting up the cadence sensor. No matter how fast I tried moving the magnet over the sensor, the computer was not displaying the cadence. I then mounted on the bike and cranked the pedal hard in the reverse direction, ta da, it started showing cadence. May be computer waits for a some predefined cadence and then starts displaying? Anyways, its working fine now . | |
