Welcome!

Hello Folks!

This is the opening blog entry to this blogsite, where I'd be sharing upon 3 main loves and activities of my life - cycling, insurance, and photography.

I'll be refining the topics as we get along, and offering practical, real-world ideas that ideally rock your socks off. At the same time, I am very much amazed at some of the things that I have read about online - and decidedly will point you in directions to pick up what helped me grow.

This is a preliminary list of what I'd cover on this site, and will add in more along the way. Consider this to be a living-and-breathing Contents page.

Burning Question(s):
Q: Why "Life of Wheels", you ask?
A: What I thought of was "Wheels of Life" since this unusual trinity of topics are what my life revolves upon. However the Blogger URL was already taken... and since it's better to make lemonade out of a Life's Lemon... I decided upon Life Of Wheels. There you are!

Q: Why "Wheels"?
A: A bicycle wheel has a hub at the centre, along with spokes that hold up a rim that can be fairly easy to damage if it's not fixed up into a wheel. However after having the spokes in our lives that holds things together, we get a congruent view on life, and most important of all - we can move on with life in a balanced manner.

Cheers!

Yours Sincerely,
Suan
