A huge crowd turned up today at Mybikeshop for a nice relaxed loop around Pandan Reservoir area. Lead ably by Mr Ben and jerry - George Lim and assisted by Andy, Zack, Wilson and others. The view was nice and also included abit of off road for more fun.  After the ride, the crew returned to MBS and packed into the shop. It was really bustling with activity and chatter. To make the demo more effective, we had 2 demonstrators at each end and sharing how to do checks before a ride. Jai and Rahim smoothly pointed out the tricks and how to do degreasing/ clean the sprockets and chain. Many of the riders looked intently to capture all the techniques. Kian lin also gave LCSG a small discount off the accessories and cleaning equipment. Wah...this spurred a lot of people to start looking at the gloves, bells, helmets and all.  Crowded and busy, like a market place but really fun. More photos here
Many thanks to George Lim, Andy, Zack, Wilson for helping to make the ride fun and safe. Also many thanks to MyBikeshop for a nice venue and staff to demo on bike servicing.
Kian Lin sharing on the demo details and the nice discount of course!
Jai: "very simple one lah.... " 
Rahim imparting some good servicing pointers

Ride with MBS folks and servicing demo 17th Sept Sat

David and me @ Pandan Reservoir 
Located near Clementi area is Mybikeshop. They specialised on Foldies and what is cool about the place is the easy going, knowledgeble and friendly staff.  Usually u will see some of our kakis there ogling at the latest bicycles and parts. Then u will see the agony of decision making..... then europhia.... when the rider "submits" and hand over his credit card.  It is funny to see grown ups coming into the shop and becoming like kids in a candy store. So...we are going to bring more folks there!!! 
It is about time we do a refresher on bike servicing (good for newer riders and those totally clueless) and I am glad to have MBS team (Kian Lin, Joseph and Jai) who will share with us the tips on general bike maintaince.  Stuff covered will be general bike check, brake adjustments, gear shifting adjustment, Chain Cleaning, oiling ur chain, Correct tyre pressure/inspection. But before that we do a group ride around Pandan loop area and return to MBS for the Servicing Demo.  
Date: 17th Sept, Sat
Time:10 am for ride, 1150 for the servicing demo
Oh, MBS will be giving some discount on the day... More details @ lovecyclingsg forum below
