Old passion reborn

I've been reconsidering cycling for quite sometime now. I'm not really sure why but the most appealing factor of cycling is to promote a healthy life style. I used to crank the old Shimano road bike that weighted almost 11kg everyday back in my student years.

I also read some local mountain bikers blogs and watched some thrilling off-road cycling videos over the Youtube. The sense of freedom in hilly uncharted jungle trail sparked my adrenaline, well almost. Since then, I knew that I need to get one of those mountain bike or most popular word is MTB bike. There is no way a road bike could jump off the dirt & mud.

When deciding which brand to buy, I remembered that my brother-in-law bought a hardtail Merida bike recently. I thought to myself, what a heck, any bike will do. So Merida it is.
