What has Art, Design, Levis and Cycling got to do with each
other? Everything! It's a celebration of art, life and just being in the
moment!
1) Art and Design
30 lifestories is about using personal memories of the park and creating art/park installation. The materials are all donated by Nparks from wood log salvaged from the damaged trees at the park. Its about giving the discarded wood another life.
30 artists and designers participated in this very meaningful event. I am also
very honoured to be one of them.:)
Here's a look at all the artists

2) Levis’s
Commuter Bike shop
It’s a pop up store where cyclist’s can get their tune ups and also have a fun
spin race with each other.
3) Relaxing slow ride by Lovecyclingsg to slow down smell
the roses.

| Toshi from Japan also join us for the ride. With the LCSG regulars, Steven Tang, Tiffany and George Kee |
On 16th March Sunday morning, we did all the above! 78 riders, young
and old joined me for an easy ride to the event site. We started from Geylang
PCN, slowly riding down to Tanjong rhu along the water line. It was a beautiful
and nice weather. The slow pace
allow every one to take in the views, chat with one one another.
 |
| Rolling and chatting with each other |
Smiling pass and waving nicely to people
we met. Its was really nice.We very easily reached the marina barrage and rolled slowly
to MBS, and then to fullerton hotel.
Clearing the traffic junction at Fullerton hotel, it was road all the
way via SMU and to Doby Ghaut Green. Where the 30 life stories and Levis bike
shop was located.

We reached our designated parking spot(very nice), a car
rack shape design by LCSG Francis and myself
J Why car shaped if anyone asked? Its
because we wanted to have people asking” whats a car doing inside a park and
imagine how much space we can save if we cycle instead of driving.
The bikes were
very kindly valet by Levis team. It was fun and chaotic. I think Doby Ghaut
Green never seen so much cyclists gathering in a single spot.
Levis also very considerately provided a nice breakfast of subway sandwiches
and drinks for the riders. Also very nice surprise gift of sticker and bike
design buttons was given out.
Thank you Levis, for such a cool event!

| nice touch Levis! |
 |
| Burn fat not oil... right on!! |
 |
| smooth operation by the levis team |
It was about then the heavens opened and we cramped into the sheltered space of
the amphitheatre.
LCSG team very sportingly waited out as the BYX crew got the
spin machines ready. We then had a bike spinning face off. The idea is to spin as fast as you can
for 30 seconds and see how far you measure up. Sounds easy but I assure u its
hell of an effort. Here is some of
the spinning action.

 |
| Robbie egging Yoke on... come on! |
 |
| Xiao Siang spinning it too! |
 |
| Esther even made Rojak!!! |
At the side, BYX also had a booth where cyclists could come
and get their bikes checked.
It
was really nice to see folks cheering for one another and also Momo cheering
everyone on. So much so that Levis also gave her the “most on the ball
supporter” award haha.. very cool Levis!

| Momo jumping and cheering... |

Abit disappointing was the rain which became heavier and
many did not get to experience the 30 lifestories fully…
Hopefully Nparks would
consider re-exhibiting them again.
 |
| nice couple par tor-ing |
Hopefully this event would continue to be even more fun come 2015 and LCSG will surely
support it.
