Century Ride

Did my maiden century ride on this 'small' island last Sunday. Singapore is only 20km x 40km wide.

My route was clockwise from Tampines via Kembangan-Harbour Front - Boon Lay - Keranji (via Bahar Rd) - Woodlands - Yishun-Serangoon - ECP - Bedok and back to Tampines.

The best time of the ride was from Marsiling to Yishun where I rode in the rain. (minus the thunder/lightning)

Highlight: The Teluk Blangah & Pasir Panjang roads are super flat and shaded by the West Coast elevated Highway. While Bahar Road to Kranji is wide (6 lanes) but very quiet. Close view of Johor Bahru from Keranji Reservoir Park. Nice!

Overall: Good weather (+ rain & overcast in most places), Flat Roads, Moderate Traffic = 114km of total distance.

Ride of Silence

Join cyclists worldwide in a silent slow-paced ride in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways.

In Singapore, it will takes place on May 20, 2009 at 7:00 pm, starting from Merlion Park

The ride will be 19Km, slow paced (20km/h)

Okay to foldable bicycles

FOLDABLE bicycles will be allowed on trains and public buses during off-peak hours from March 15, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Teo Ser Luck announced in Parliament on Thursday.

The go-ahead comes after a six-month trial from May to November last year, as part of several initiatives to meet the transport needs of diverse groups of commuters.
