8EDITORS TRAIL

After the Taipei International Bike Show, we see the many new bicycles and cycling accessories popping up on FB and websites. Wow, so many eye-stunning goodies, better take a breather to absorb it all in and see what you really want or need. Many cyclists have whispered in our ears that so many people are turning into bicycle-holics and buy without rhyme or reason just to own a new piece of equipment and never using it. Hopefully my friend you are not one of them.

When you buy a bicycle, learn the history or the story behind the brand and the bike, when you buy a part or accessories, know its benefit to your ride and make the best use of it so you can share the knowledge with your friends and they too will be able to buy something useful (that is if they need it).

The rainy season is here, the weather is so unpredictable, one minute good and another bad. It changes constantly so my fellow cyclists, be prepared, ride safely and make sure the weather is good enough for riding.

Change is something that happens everyday and we at B.U.MA. are going through continuous change with the increase of readers. This is a very good change for us and to ensure our readers received the magazine directly at home, we now have a subscription plan to cover the mailing and processing fees within Thailand but do not worry the magazine is still free. We have a subscription form included in this issue of the magazine, to receive your copy subscribe today.

Ride safely.
