"Feel so heart warm to know there are still such people doing tat nowadays, it shd be his passion too  n my dad told me before tat when he was young in kampong, he used to cycle quite a distance all the way to a uncle tat fix bike n install the lastest blink blink lights on their bicycle n all children feel so interested n happy when they saw the uncle n their new gadgets mount, but he told me tat uncle work day to night non stop from early thirties to sixties till he got hunched back n fell sick. This pic let me think of the friendly n hardworking bicycle man whom my dad told me. I shall show this pic to my dad tomorrow  Thanks for posting this pic Simon Teo!

There seems to be a longing of simpler things in life. This gentleman around Seng Kang just peddles his repair skill and some utility stuff like tubes, and tyres. Fixes the problems for the kids and other folks.  No fuss no markup.  Way to go uncle!

Birdwatching @ AMK

One of the cool things on cycling is that u will see many small interesting facets of life. There is a birdwatching club at Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 where many people gather to watch birds. Watch birds? What's that? I know some animal activists would say, that's so inhumane. Birds should be set free, not in cages. Wah lau..... come on man... If this translated to cycling = I got a Bike friday Lama, it needs to be on a real tour. Get muddy, get wet, do some real camping and really be ridden in the potholed outbacks of Laos...sure lah.. but can just say.. I like just it lah. Full stop. I digress....
Well, as many who know me...  I like to say, different strokes for different folks.Let's not judge but accept people for who they are. It is obvious to me that they like it. Birds of the same flock gather together. And for us, cycling brings us together.
Oh, in case u trying to find this place, it is just beside the Kong Long Pau shop, near C2C.
