Introduction to this site
I've decided to join the world of bloggers to articulate ideas I may have, share my experiences and most importantly my little experiments. Here's an experiment about how long before somebody steals your helmet off a bike if its left unattended for a period of time.
I use a bike as my default mode of transport, it makes a lot more sense in busy chaotic city like Kuala Lumpur. Despite having a Monokey, storage space is still an issue. Being constantly reminded about limited space and having to choose what to bring teaches me the 'Zen of minimizing".
Amazingly, it all started from smoking. I was considering to buy some health insurance and was enlighted to know that single men 37 and above was in a special high risk category. I would be turning 35 in June and if I would like to pay a little less for the premiums, I'd better purchase it while I'm 34. The problem is, I've put on a little too much weight since I stopped smoking. I started running (again) but need to accelerate my weight loss bygoing to the gym. Ever since I started frequenting the gyms before and after work, therefore, I need a little more storage space for my running shoes and a change of clothes.
Contrary to what I've been taught, that is to never leave your helmet on your bike even for a few minutes, I'm running an experiment to see, if at all, how long it takes before somebody nicks it. The spare helmet is a cheap half helmet, and together with my rain coat, is covered in a helmet bag, wrapped with a rainproof cover (from Pertama complexs) and snapped into place with a bungee net to my back seat.
Initially, I started logging details about the place, exact time and date of where I've parked my bike but considered it a little too private for me. Anyway, I doubt the exact date would really matter in this experiment. See here for the legend, or go here for the experimental data.
If you're wondering about the name of this blog, its the name of the first experiment written on this blog. Its also my Starcraft's handler.
