Ride at My Hometown, Johor Bahru.

Waiting to be boarded at KTMB,
Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru
Ever since I return to my hometown, Johor Bahru, did not really get a serious ride. I grasp at any opportunity that I get to ride. Tried to ride from home in Setanggi to work at Menara TJB, but then distance is only 5.5km. Well at least my ride is not abandoned. Nowadays, my main transport is my bike. Sold my Kanchil car to a friend's of Irfan. Yup sold it for RM1000 only with all of the encumbrances, and there's a few.. therefore, its official.. I am car less... Settling down in Johor Bahru (JB) my hometown, with the woman that I love so much, finally a peace of heart and mind.
OK, back to my cycle stories. From KL I transported my Specialized via Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTMB) by train that is, cost me about RM13. and it take 5 days for my bike to reach JB. Since its arrival, it has been my main mode of transportation to move around in JB. 
My Specialized Arrived at Setanggi, Johor Bahru.
my application for chambering was accepted by a legal firm named as G.K Srtharan & Co. so every now and then I tried to cycle to work. though  the distance is only 5.5km from my house at Setanggi, still I enjoyed the morning rush. So far I come across two riders who ride to work. 
Dont have many fellow riders in JB, my only known old school friend who rides is Bahri. Works at MBJB. He now has a riding group of his own ever since he took up cycling. But I could not join him and his group to ride as I have a very tight schedule. So I tried to steal any opportunity to ride as possible, exploring around JB. Much has changed though, a lot of new highways and routes. Hope to cover them all within this possible year.
