With the Covid19 affecting every country, Like many fellow Singaporeans, I have been working from home since April.  We can't do group riding, no shops are open and its work(WFH), Exercise - cycling or brisk walking. Anddddd online shopping...haha. :)  Don't judge.... important tip as well... Don't go look at bicycles blog or eBay, u could get poisoned, easily. :)  I read this blog.... and one thing led to another..  It's a 1985 Trek 520, size 49. Introduced then as a "sports touring" which is a cross with road bike but able to do some light rack/touring. &n ..read more

Its almost invisible  Sorry, I have not been updating my blog regularly. Yes, I still have my bikes and they are a joy to ride... but maybe too many bikes...that one will leave for another posting haha.  I have still been cycling around my neighbourhood PCN almost daily. With my creaky knees, cycling helps me get the much needed 45 min exercise and clear my mind.  The route is about 14km around Punggol waterway loop and after many months, it can be abit boring.  So I recently been playing some music as I ride. Initially, I used mainly my Apple E ..read more

The best way to learn is to try it urself.  Today, with the guidance of LCSG angels like George Lim, Francis Chu, Desmond Chia, Uncle KC and more. Many newer riders got to experience how to handle the bike safely. Slow speed handing that is especially useful in pavement and crowded PCN conditions.  Nice photo credits Uncle KC and Momo  https://www.facebook.com/events/541825524224953/?ref=newsfeed ..read more

Safety notice << Pls wear safety googles and gloves. Its pretty hazardous.  Do it at ur own peril.  The good of mucking around with old discarded stuff is that u can experiment and learn. After 2 weeks of penetrating oil and light tapping and hard wrenching.. the thing is really stuck. I even tried to use saw blade to split the tube... its hopeless. So the "nuclear" option remained.  u can find in lazada or hardware store. Be careful with it. its not cappuccino  Triple sealed and wrapped... and it still dribbles abit.&nb ..read more

Things were all rusted and missing  Standing and riding the trame was straight and true.  Catching up with my blogging(yes there is such thing still) . This happened Oct 2021. I found this KHS dumped and took it back. It was very crummy and clearly had a very tough life. I wondered if I can salvage it to make it functioning again.. oh no.  This is how it looked when I picked it up. After 3 hours of cleaning up with zip/ dishwasher soap, it looked better. Going around the items.. most are shot and missing parts.  I identi ..read more

Pacific cycle Carryme is the smallest bike in my collection. I relate to it as the walking alternative. The gearing is designed to be brisk walking pace and its one interesting package. The micro size makes it smaller then a baby stroller (folded) and allows u to do a spot of cycling in pockets of time.  Due to the Covid lockdown,  I am not able to travel out to the usual business area like Shanghai... but I hope it would be soon.  But while that sorts itself out. I still do my daily morning walks or cycling in Punggol Waterway PCN. Its really ..read more
