When and why did you start cycling?

I have started cycling last November. Actually I bought my bike to join a tour from Nuweiba to Dahab, although it was a tedious challenge and Nuweiba was full of cats during the day and mosquitoes during the night, but I really enjoyed the company.

Then I joined MTB Egypt last February and have been a mountain biking addict since then.

Road, off-road, or both?

both, touring/road biking is a very cool thing to do …. Off-road biking is much cooler.

Tell us about your cycling-related injuries/accidents:

(video)

That was my first accident, fortunate enough it was caught on tape.

The second accident was almost at the same spot during the race (28th of February)

Three weeks later I had a puncture on the exact spot.

I think there is a witch buried under this spot. Or is it pure bad luck?

Anything else you want to tell us about yourself?

Naaah …

See you in the wadi ;D
