When I was in Primary School, dad bought me my first BMX.....only ride at void deck of my house.......but got stolen then stopped cycling till 2 years ago bought another bike (Gary Fisher mountain bike)

* Why do you like cycling?

Cycling to kill time and keep fit.....just another hobby...... not much of commuting purposes

* When u met LCSG - how was it like and how u meet us

Me joined LCSG last year.......... I was visiting a backlane (for work purposes) at Gemmill Lane and got to know Lifecycle.......so being 'kaypoh' walked into that shop and kana 'poison' by Simon....... at that time I was still using my mountain bike..........Simon gave me your blog....so I went in and that's how I got to know LCSG

My first ride was Sentosa ride with LCSG (near my house mah........can cycle to Vivo)........ super tough ride due to the slopes........the first person I got to know was Henry........I was sooooo blur during that ride and Henry accompanied throughout the entire ride........I must say THANK YOU to him.......it's sad that he is no longer with us lah........got to know  Andrew Wan, Clarence....as we all using Gary Fisher during that ride

Second ride - Dragon kiln......me super on........cycle all the way to Lakeside MRT early that morning.......then after that ride I envy those riders with foldies......able to take mrt home unlike me got to ride back to Tanjong Pagar and was raining some more..........sigh..........so decided to visit Simon again.......it's time to get my own foldie!!!
