Dan and Vickie from US with a tandem riding round Singapore


Left to right Vickie, Dan, Mr Tandem Lim and wife @ CarfreeSunday event

I was pleasantly surprised afew weeks ago that a couple from US Colorado took all this effort to bring their Tandem bicycle to Singapore.  They met Mr Lim at Carfreesunday who introduced them to LCSG.  This are some of the posting they shared at LCSG FB and I am so happy they are enjoying our sunny island on tandem bicycle. https://www.facebook.com/groups/lovecyclingsg/search/?query=Dan%20Reagin
If you see them cycling around, pls wave them and say hello! 
This is also a good encouragement for our hardworking folks at Nparks, LTA and URA who are doing their part to make SG a better place to live and ride. Folks.... check what he got to say...
"Several people told us it did not make any sense to bring our bicycle, let alone our TANDEM bicycle, to Singapore for our one month stay. Upon arrival we fell in love with Singapore straight away. We love the Island and the city. We love cycling here and are very happy that we decided to bring our tandem with us. I guess we just love cycling no matter where we are. Special thanks to Tandem Lim and Karin for taking us under their wing during our first ride in SG and showing us the ropes. We have found the cycling community in SG to be world class. We ❤️ Singapore "

I know it's not perfect and we got lots to do...  Let's keep on rolling!

Cycling to explore the playgrounds by Daniel Seah and her princess

Saw this posting by Daniel at Lovecyclingsg Facebook some days back. Daniel daughter was trying ride but she doesn't want to do PCN anymore. Unless its a LCSG ride.. (wahhh I feel so happy!) So Daddy Daniel had to think quickly on his feet and suggested to go explore the neighbourhood in search of all the playground. 
Cycling makes easy work of the distance and not so tiring. From the photos, it must be really a good time and they even did a map to show how each play ground looks!  Wonderful sharing Daniel! This is how memories are made!

City ride on 30th Jan 2011

Satay!
The route
When was the last time you went to the city area, Esplanade ... yes where Satay club used to be? I remember when I was a kid, my family would go to satay club, al fresco style. They would just put the satay and you eat. After which the hawker would come back after you are done, count the sticks and you pay. All by honor...yah rite.. when the rain comes... everyone runs, without paying...poor satay men! Well this are all just memories as the satay club is gone. But I can show u where it was... Come, join me and play tourist and go do a City ride.... and eat!! very suitable for new riders!
