Thinking of getting a bicycle?

If you are currently getting bored spending your weekends in the malls or just cafe hopping, why not pick up a sport that you can do it with your love ones or family. #MyPOV

One of the sports will definitely be cycling and so which type of bikes is suitable for you? I’m scared of falling down, I’m not a proficient cyclist, I only rides on PCN and pavements.. hence I decided to get a foldable bike. #Brompton #cycling

Few things to consider before getting your own bicycle.

* Size and Weight of the bicycle

Foldable bikes are generally smaller in size than the road bikes or mountain bikes.. or even the heavy rental bikes. I’m not one with strong legs and arms. I know i don’t have the energy to cycle long distance in a heavy bike. I know I don’t have the energy to carry my bike up the stairs if needed if the bike is too heavy.

* Accessibility of the bicycle

Being a leisure rider, I like to cycle and explore our green city. But I don’t have the energy to cycle very long distances. With a foldable bike, I can either start cycling from home. When tired? Just fold it and grab or train home. At this juncture, again the size and weight of your bike matters especially if you intend to take a train or bus home.

With a foldie, I can also put it in my car boot and start my ride somewhere further from home.

A recommended short ride will be to start at Kallang Leisure. Big open car park for me to park my car. Ride down to Marina Bay Sands.. grab a drink and enjoy the vibes outside MBS Shoppes. If you have the time, you can also ride across the bridge to East Coast Park.. stop at East Coast Lagoon Food Centre for lunch/dinner or continue to ride on to the Jurassic Mile or Changi airport. However if you park your car at a car park like I do, done leave your car behind and grab home 😅

We have 4 of these foldable bikes for our family of 4. But for now, my daughter is my cycling companion. We usually cycle in the evening because I’m too afraid to get tanned.. half way our ride, we will usually stop to grab a meal or BBT.

Let me know if you have any cycling routes to share. Would love to explore a different route soon.
