I bought a bicycle.
Safety is important, so I bought a helmet.
If I fall, it seems like something big will happen, so I bought gloves.
Preparation complete!
Wearing a helmet, gloves, glasses, half pants, and a short-sleeved shirt, I went riding with excitement.
A fly penetrates into my eyes wearing glasses.
Tears don't stop at high speed.
The wind blows the T-shirt off my back.
The end of the half pants repeatedly hits my thighs.
That's why they wear jerseys and bib shorts…
I bought a jersey. I bought bib shorts. I bought goggles.
Now everything is dead.
Flies, tears, and sash attacks no longer work.
I thought riding would be bliss, but my feet keep slipping from the flat pedals.
“Hmm, so I need clipless pedals and clipless shoes.”
I bought them cheaply.
I don't know the pulling force, it just felt like I was possessed by an athlete.
Helmet, goggles, jersey, bib shorts, gloves, clipless shoes
It really looked cool.
I thought that was all I needed to buy.
A beeping sound came from the bicycle of my friend in front of me.
It was cool. What is it?
It was a Garmin speed sensor.
It was the first time I saw one. But the constant beeping sound made my heart flutter with longing.
I finally gave in.
I thought this was the end
But they say you need front and rear lights on your bike.
They say an automatic car detection radar has been released.
I bought it.
I thought this was the end.
Fully armed with Garmin, a light, a radar, it was perfect.
But my bicycle wheels don't make a cicada sound.
What? They say I need a DT Swiss Ratchet hub…
I changed the wheel…
54 teeth are in and my lungs are squeezed, but sorry, it’s cool…
My friend's phone shows an orange app with riding records, who passed which section in how many minutes, and what place I am.
I subscribed to Strava.
When I read posts on the internet, they keep saying strange things.
Something about "road bike" and "FTP," average power of a few watts
These are unfamiliar words. I don't understand even when I hear them.
A power meter is essential.
I cried out that my body couldn't handle the power, but before I knew it, it was attached to the pedal. Ka——The flashing red light is cool.
Power is a real pain in the neck.
I thought I had bought everything…
But my bike isn't an S-Works.
My jersey isn't a Castelli.
My helmet
My shoes
My gloves
My water bottle
Isn't [brand name]…
I thought I had bought everything, but it wasn't the end…
Moreover, my son asked me to buy him a road bike.
Of course, I bought him a helmet, goggles, and gloves.
I thought he would be fine just riding like that…
But every time he pedals, it hurts my heart.
It also hurts that the handlebars don't make any sound.
What if he has an accident? It hurts that there is no radar.
In the end, I bought him a speed sensor, a light, a clipless pedal, and shoes.
I bought a Sena intercom to communicate with my son.
But I still haven't bought him a power meter.
I haven't bought him a radar either.
His wheels are still 40mm…
This is probably not necessary…
The balance in my bank account went from eight digits to six digits in just a few months….
I'm definitely not going to buy anything else……
