Since today, hmm actually past 2 days are very quiet days in 2024 in office. Just taking time to ponder about in office. Basically not much people here; most either took leave , some showed face a little while in office and dissapeared.
It's now end of 6th month and entering 7th of my journey in Balkanland. ending soon.
Bought my bike here for ease of travel 29-July, initially thinking that i can't drive with M-land license here. Apparently i can like <1 month later.
For 11K rsd the quite new 2nd hand bike was bought at KupujemProdajem aka local mudah.com where people sell and buy 2nd hand stuff. Spent another 600rsd for the red bike chain from the chinese market at Blok 70. 1 week after use, one of the pedal actually fell off , signs of lack of use by previous owner and needed to go for repair at Iron Bike's near Blok 70 or Local wet market as well to refit/lock it back and check air of both tyres. There goes another 200 rsd fees. It's first 1 year life as bicycle is really easy, just sit tight in garage i guess. Now i was working it hard everyday to work haha. In total the cost was 11+ 0.6+0.2 = 11.8 k rsd investment. 2 months later, i discovered that petrol stations have bicycle pumps with correct size to pump tyre at any time so this is also another good things available publicly.
Upon getting notification of my departure, again went back to Kupujem to post advertisement and sell off the bike. Luckily i got a buyer that is looking for a training bike for his son. Sold at 8k rsd ,selling price was 74 Eu or about 8.6k rsd but i gave the buyer an offer that i hoped to closed the deal immediately. Which is pretty good price. Either this or probably left this bike in office garage to rust and rot for 10 years+ haha. Transaction happened on 29-Dec, one week or so after i got my notice. Efficient shit turnover i guess :)
All in all actual used period was actually 5 months. 11.8k - 8 k = thats 3.8k cost for 5 months use. Not so bad actually, 3.8k / 5months = 777rsd per month. Thats coverts back to about rm34 per month. So thats about RM1.1 per day ok la cheaper than taking busese here which i never got around to try actually. Close enough from my previous guesstimation. Return for use value is pretty great, i didnt go too far with this fella considering trying to preserve durability , my stamina-interest diminishing after 20-30mins ride and weather quickly changing to winter soon but its still great to bike to work cutting 15-20min to-fro-work commute to <10min daily one way.
The question will be what's next after this. Well, go home first i guess.
