I ride, I commute

Stillness returns as I retrace the path
Daily rhythms hold at workday close.

Spirit wind is a constant companion.
Even when the leaves are idle,

The breathe of life is called forth
By the joy of movement.

Time is irrelevant, the sun moves
The mind to reflect on the day

As gravel stones sing a broken melody
And the horizon communicates purpose.

Machine, sacred ring of Black Elk's vision
Revealed in steel and sweat.

Meeting strangers

Only with a brompton, you meet people to start a friendly conversation.

This lady rides a 3 speed old model from London...can see that her bike is very worn off....and was asking me where to get a service for the bike in Singapore!

My ride along one of the most beautiful Park Connector

Bringing both my Vert V8 and my B out for a ride. Probably the last time to ride with my Vert V8 before passing it to the next owner.

Ready for a Brompton Ride?

You probably need tonnes of justification to spend $3k on a bike that probably to some that it doesn't deserve this price tag.
Made of Steel not aluminium, small wheels, rust, heavy, not having the best materials and parts for such a price but regardless how many reasons to put you off, there is always an equal amount of reasons that can justify the purchases. To me, the one reason that is sufficient is the compact fold. The flexibility and ease to bring it on bus and train.

It took me less than a month to decide that i should buy my own brompton and enjoy my ride.

At MightyVelo which carries a vast amount of brompton stock.

I got my copy of the bike and with the vouchers given, i opt for a brooks special antique brown saddle.

My first ride after fixing the bike was to ReCYCLE bike shop at veerasamy street to pick up some tool for the bike.

IF I RIDE

If i ride, i will know the way the trees smell after the rain.

I will grow up so strong that the hospital will take 2 days off.

If i ride uphill, i will eventually get to ride downhill, thats how it works.

If i ride, my breath will filled the air instead of smoke from car exhaust.

If i ride, road rage will be turn into laughter. And I wont be a boy or girl but just a rider.

If i ride, i can wear spandex like spiderman, and the planet will cool down and survived and thank me for riding with flowers and firefly.

If i ride, i will only use oil on my chain, and oil tankers will be used to home chocolate milk.

 This is my poem to biking.
