That's interesting Moses pal. You might have told me but I don't remember your wife being from that part of the world. This trip reinforces to me the importance of bringing my bike wherever I go. For me, I treat it no differently as my toothbrush and shaver, it's one of my essentials. I know some of my pals would disagree, that's why you are no weisan, there can be only one.

The moment of truth!
When I left almost three weeks ago, I weighed 160 pounds...

Great video, Weisan! It makes me want to visit and bring my bike.
When did you record the video while riding downtown/Orchard Road? Traffic seemed very reasonable. I’m not sure how many groups you rode with but let me ask you this: did you find that many of the groups are somewhat segregated? Do ang mos and locals prefer to stay separate? I’ve heard through my wife that many locals perceive the serious cyclists to be privileged foreigners with fancy bikes and kits who hold up traffic—obviously an opinion not exclusive to Singapore. But when I do visit next, I don’t want to be seen as such as much as I can avoid it. Mick Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

My friend Kenneth is a four-time national champion back in the days in his early 20s. Two years ago, as a way to celebrate turning 50, he got back serious on the bike and trained very hard and won the national title again in his age-group. On the podium, he was flanked by two AngMos.

I left in '81, when that skyline didn't exist, except maybe for Raffles Place, which was being built, as I recall. There wasn't any bicycle infrastructure to speak of then and it doesn't look like there's much today either. Looks kinda scary actually. Maybe my standards have changed.
That bike shop is humongous floor-space wise. American sized!? On another topic, here's a good reason not to eat raw vegetables in S'pore. My old man took me to a market garden outside JB in the early 70s. The farmer kept a large earthernware jar that he and his workers peed into. That was their fertilizer. I don't think things have changed that much. |

That was after I left. I wouldn't call that nothing or not much. It's pretty extensive and substantial, but probably underused....because you know...it's hot in Singapore. Quote:

When I eat, I try not to think too much about the supply chain...because if I do, I might not leave my house...er...my room even! You think raw vegetable is bad...you haven't seen anything yet.
