Autumn is coming and going. I took advantage of the early autumn wind to ride the Tern Verge X11 for the first time and successfully climbed Tai Mo Shan, the highest peak in Hong Kong. In addition to challenging myself by riding the mountain, of course I also had to eat, drink and have fun. Fold up the newly launched British brand HEXA.GO backpack and bicycle front bag, and ride to the grass gate of Tai Mo Shan for a picnic. It’s so cool to go out on a bike in autumn.
Ride the Tern Verge X11 and have a picnic on Tai Mo Shan.
Put on the HEXA.GO backpack and bicycle front bag for an outing
It is not difficult to ride a small folding bicycle for a picnic; I installed the Tern on the front bag quick-release rack, and easily put the HEXA.GO backpack bicycle front bag (Ultra Light Backpack) into the quick-release rack and added a safety buckle. stable. Speaking of going on an outing, of course you need to bring cushions, fruits, energy foods, drinks, towels, etc. A car bag to hold food and personal belongings. The fashionable white car bag with black small fold is both eye-catching and eye-catching.
The total length from the wooden sign at the entrance of Tai Mo Shan Road to the top of the mountain is 8 kilometers. The Tern Verge X11 is equipped with 11 speeds. The editor adjusts the band according to different road conditions.
Because I was riding on Tai Mo Shan for a picnic, I rode the Tern Verge X11 11-speed small bike this time. It is equipped with a devil-like 10-42 tooth flywheel. It is said to be suitable for climbing slopes of different slopes to personally test its climbing ability. The editor set out from Tsuen Wan around dusk in the afternoon, via Tsuen Kam Highway, and arrived at the wooden sign of Tai Mo Shan Country Park in one go. The ride took about 1 hour. Because it is not a fast fight, it is quite easy to ride.
The editor started from Tsuen Wan, passed through Ha Fa Shan Village, turned to Tsuen Kam Highway, and arrived at Tai Mo Shan Road.

The real test is to ride up the Tai Mo Shan Road via the wooden board, which is 8 kilometers in length. Tern Verge X11 is equipped with eleven speeds, and the editor adjusts the band according to different road conditions. Because of the flat handlebar, it is easy and comfortable to adjust the band. Even if the front bag is installed, it does not hinder the control of the bicycle. In addition, the patented faucet design of Syntace Veo allows the faucet to be adjusted according to the editor's body shape, making it easy to ride.
The editor started from Tsuen Wan, passed through Ha Fa Shan Village, turned to Tsuen Kam Highway, and arrived at Tai Mo Shan Road.
The most sloping section of Tai Mo Shan Road is the section in front of the gate of the radar station on the top of the mountain. The editor adjusted the lightest foot and found that it was not as difficult as expected. In the past, I rode a 21-speed road bike, and this section of road is also a short one. I needed to stand up and exert my strength, but this time I rode over the slope while sitting. Tern Verge X11 really stands the test. It took about half an hour to ride from the wooden sign to the gate.
The Tern is equipped with a HEXA.GO bike bag, which is full of youthful and fashionable style; it is a suction-type female rider.
After the editor passed the gate, it became easier to ride around the mountains. In the second half, you can stop while riding to enjoy the sunset scenery and take photos. You can have an unobstructed view of Hong Kong Island, Tsuen Wan and Kam Tin. In about half an hour, we arrived at Radar Checking in at the station, looking back at the winding mountain road, I never imagined that I could ride a small switch to the top of Tai Mo Shan, which is 957 meters above sea level.
Tern is equipped with disc brakes, and braking is very stable when going downhill.
Verge X11 braking system stabilizes vehicle speed
It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's difficult to get off the bike. The actual test of the Tern Verge X11 braking system when going down the mountain at dusk, using Shimano pressure disc brakes, gently pressed the brake button with your finger, and the vehicle speed immediately slowed down. There was no "soft braking situation" when braking. , the driving is very stable, people will not rush forward, and roll down the mountain easily. The reflective front gusset design of the HEXA.GO bike bag also greatly improves the safety of riding on the road at night.
Arrive at Tai Mo Shan at dusk to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Enjoy a picnic on a small bike
In addition, one of the themes of this ride is picnic. Riding Tai Mo Shan Road, the best picnic spot is the grassy area in front of the radar station gate. Not only are there two wooden platforms and benches, you can see the scenery of Tsuen Kam in front, and behind you are the two dazzling Mo Shan radar stations. Cyclists may wish to rest and have a picnic here before climbing to the top and enjoy a cycling picnic trip.
