Lifesaver card by Lifecycle

Screen grab from life-cycle.co/lifesaver

This is a community project by lifecycle for cyclists. The idea is to have a card that can provide clear and concise information to the paramedics when the cyclist is injured, esp when not able to respond or unconscious. 
As we do the regular LCSG rides, we do get our fair share of accidents. Some preventable, some not. One thing for certain is that the quick information on the injured is very important so that the correct treatment is administered. So if u like to have a personalised version, fill in the details and send it to lifecycle or just download and printout a few to keep inside the bicycle pouch.  Touch wood and I hope we never have to use it. But when it is needed, u will be very glad you took the time to fill in the details and read this short short blog entry :)

Tees Madness @ Lifecycle

Cool jerseys at cool price... 
Finally made the time to go down Lifecycle for the Tees Maddness sale. Lots of very nice bicycle tees from Getset, Morvelo, Solo and Peonfx.  Even got to meet the guys behind the brands and got to know first hand how they started. Very cool!  Speaking to HS of Getset, he explained that he just wanted people to enjoy riding more. One of the way to spread the cycling message was through Tee Shirts which made cycling look fun. Using facebook store, all the first batch of tees were very quickly sold out...much to his surprise.  He and his partners are now working on more design and ideas. One idea is called cycle garage. The concept is to help users sell off the spare bike which is is not in use and match it to another rider(who needs it). The good part of this is that u can drop it at Lifecycle and they would do some checks to ensure that the bike is in working order. The potential buyer can come by the store and see the bike themselves. Happy with the price , he buys the bike and they get a small cut. Pretty interesting idea.
Another person I got to meet was JJ of Peonfx. The products are proudly designed and manufactured locally. I am very impressed and took a close look at the workmanship and detail. It is really good!  Esp if u are a fixie rider. JJ also hinted that more cool stuff is coming along.. I can't wait for the cool designs and ideas.  Also got to chat abit and see Yasin and his crew of CAS..
It was really nice to see all genre of bikes at Lifecycle. Folding bicycles, Roadies and Fixies...talking bikes and looking/buying Tees. So do pop by when Lifecycle is doing the special events and be inspired by those who are already making things happen. Rock on!

Interesting bike cafe off the beaten path... in Singapore!

Wanted to share with u a nice place. Tucked in a quiet corner off Cross street is Life cycle. Started by Simon, he shared with me his inspiration.... Bike and lifestyle, a place where u can hang, pick up a nice read and have a coffee. There will be photography workshops in the evening where folks can share their stuff and meet like minded people.  The cafe portion will be up by middle Jan and things are started to come into place. 
I was there yesterday where Simon, the nuclear power bunny was doing 300 hundred things at the same time... and still smiling! This must be a hell lot of effort...When I asked how he gets the energy.. he just says.."when u are passionate about stuff.. u will find time and energy...the most sleep less lor.." smiling and then turning around to fix the fridge. Man, this guy is really driven!

Come see Simon in action and his wonderful bike cafe - Life-cycle. Address: 18 Gemmill Lane Singapore 069255  To more great experiences! Simon-- Steady man, rocking!
