"Confession of a Cyclist"

"Riding for me is all about Pushing the Limit of my body."
Everybody has passion for something for me it's all about riding my bike.



Everything started when I got my first cycle at the age of 5. It didn't take me time to remove my training wheels and ride the freedom of two wheels. Time flowed like a river and my first bike was no longer my only ride. I got my first real mountain bike. It was a really a tough time of my life. I was going through mental break down and only thing that hold me together was my ride. Day by day push myself little header to cross my limit. That satisfaction you get after conquering the hill and trill you get while shredding the downhill can't be compared. Going down through those raw and untouched nature, risking you life in unknown hills.

With every hill you conquer, with every ride you go longer you feel different kind of satisfaction with in yourself. Balancing in the most raw trails and trying until you win it. Ending with a quote "Life is like a cycle, to stay balanced you should keep moving."

Fat Bikes

You may see a odd looking mountain bike with really big fat wheel in the streets of Kathmandu in last couple of years. Those bike are known as fat bikes. So let's talk about that. According to Wikipedia "A fatbike (also called fat bike or fat-tire bike) is an off-road bicycle with oversized tires, typically 3.8 in (97 mm) or larger and rims 2.6 in (66 mm) or wider, designed for low ground pressure to allow riding on soft unstable terrain, such as snow, sand, bogs and mud." Personally I haven't rode a fat bike on the trails (if anyone wants to give me a bike for a test ride you can always contact me) but I have taken it for a short test ride. I was a really different experience. Those huge wheels were really difficult to more forward from the neutral position. But once it started to roll it down it was much easier than it was imagined. We would roll really low on PSI because of the huge tire. I will post the full review once I get more time to spent on it.
