Chyrl's cycling trip to fish farms - 15 Dec 07!!

[cs_sg]

Anyone interested in gathering one Saturday/Sunday morning for a slooow cycling trip to the fish farms?


Billy, are you keen?
Justin, are you back in Singapore (yet) to join in the trip?

[stephen chung]

where is the starting point?

[cs_sg]

Hi Stanchung, where do you stay?

I don't drive and I stay at the Northern side of Singapore. The starting point can be discussed and compromised.

Just an idea, the starting Point could be at Casuarina Road, (Upper Thomson District, famous for Roti Prata) for a short breakfast, then start our ride either towards Pasir Ris farms or Lim Chu Kang.

Its nice on Sunday mornings since the traffic is lighter in the morning.
By the time we get to the farms, it should be around 10am (Are they open yet?)

For those who use cycling shoes and cleats, I'm going to change to platform pedals and use running shoes instead for this trip so that I can walk around the farms with ease, you may want to consider that.

Note: Helmet is a must for this trip please. Traffic rules must be observed at all times. We're going to ride on the road, not walkway/pedestrian walks

For those who are interested, you could respond in this format?

Name (where do you stay)

No need to warm up, going slooow to smell the flowers (trees) along the way.
I didn't ride for over 3 months now (health reason) so I'll be really slow.

Even if I borrow a helmet for you, would you wear it? haha you may tell me its too warm :P

I'm not sure if you can rent one around here.
Would you be comfortable riding on the road with traffic ?

[ranmasatome]

Ya...its precisely because i know its meant to be a slow ride..so its unfair and unresasonable of me to want to go fast right?? so go fast first myself loh...take it as warm up...

Ok, your fast means how fast?
Going around 25km/hr, since its the first time riding together, better go slower to watch out for the group

Well, I have cycled in Pengarang malaysia before, the traffic there is worse than sg, big lorries and all

The only difference is that we have to wear helmets on sg roads, person on bike on the road here considered the same as a motorist, bright colored clothing are recommended also, simple gloves would be handy as well

[ranmasatome]

What does it matter?? i'm doing it myself what...
i'll just see you guys where you guys choose to meet..

Great! I have yet to cycle at Pengarang though we went to Desaru a few times. It must be fun.
Do you have any friends who can lend you a bike for your size?

Cycling helmet is not mandatory by law here in SG but it would be advisable.
I can't enforce that on Justin though since that's his choice.

Only lights (front and back) are compulsory if you want to cycle on the roads at night from what I know. Its all about safety

[Goondoo]

yoyo!
Which weekend would it be?
I will be working whole of this coming weekend though.

Personally, I find Lim Chu Kang farm areas too much dogs to cycle safely. I had experience dog chasing my motorbike quite a few time near Teo's area. However, I am OK if you guys insist.

[ranmasatome]

Oh

I can't make it on 16th Dec, return from another pengarang cycle trip, going sat morn and return sun afternoon

Much less dogs at lim chu kang area nowadays, got culled by authorities for being nuisance to public

There are farms in the sungei tengah area as well
