Hey guys,

Is Singapore becoming a cycling haven?

It is. I recently started cycling because I found a new work near my place. Rather than walking to a nearby bus stop, waiting another 5-7 mins for the bus to come, and reaching 7 mins later, cycling would be a much better option.

I can walk to work but it'll take over 20mins. The best alternative is of course cycling. It's much faster and most importantly, I'll save around $80/mth. There are also health benefits of cycling to work every day. I have definitely improved my overall fitness.

The good news is that Singapore is starting to provide better cycling lanes for cyclists. The old pathway is getting wider and there's a clearly painted lane. Pedestrians don't have to worry about getting hit by reckless cyclists. They even provide special lanes at the traffic lights.

People are still getting used to the separate lanes. Some pedestrians insist on walking on the cycling lane. And vice versa. Hopefully, with more cycling lanes, more people will start to cycle either for health or as another form of eco-friendly transportation.

At first, I just cycled my bike to work every day. Later on, once I got my confidence, I decided to venture out during my off day. I planned to go to a famous place called the Lor Halus Red Bridge. As it was my first time, I had to ask people for directions.

I frequently stop by the bridge before continuing to other places like Pasir Rish Beach or Changi Beach. The other day, I tried a new cycling route called the Eastern Corridor. As it was my first time trying out the route, I got lost numerous times. Some of the routes lead to a dead end.

Google Maps is your friend. I used it when I went out cycling to new places. I'll re-calibrate my position and choose a different route. For those wanting to try out the new route, follow the river. That's my tip. It is also quite far. Look out for the route signage. 

You can watch my cycling video using the eastern corridor trail to East Coast Beach here. You can also watch all my other cycling videos cycling to such places via the links in this post. Of course, you can visit my YouTube channel here for more cycling videos.

One of my favorite places to cycle to is Coney Island. A nice, quiet place to cycle, walk, jog, or enjoy the beautiful beach scenery. Remember, that you have to leave the place by 7pm. As they will close the gate. You are not allowed to stay overnight.

There are two entrances on each end of the tiny island. From the western gate, you can cycle to a nearby Punggol jetty or boardwalk. From there, you can cycle back to Sengkang Riverside Park or continue to the last fishing village, Sembawang Park, Woodlands Waterfront Park, or jetty.

Well, what do you think? Is Singapore becoming a cyclist haven? There are some places yet that I have never been to. Ketam Mountain Bike Park in Pulau Ubin, Chestnut Nature Park, Bukit Timah Bike Trail, and many others. All in this tiny Island country. lol

Cycling has also made me interested in photography and videography. I'll be talking about it in another post. You can check out one of my photography adventures in this video. My first ever camera was the Nikon P950. One of my pictures has almost been viewed by millions on Google Maps!

Easy to say, cycling has made me enjoy the outdoors. It also helps that Singapore is becoming a cycling haven!

this could be the last time i ride a bike #gravelbike #mountainbike #roadbike

Hey guys,

Check it out!

This could be the last time I ride a bike. It's been almost two months and I still can't bend my left knee. Maybe, I'm getting old. It used to heal after over a week or so. But, after I came back from my thailand holiday, it won't heal. I can't even cycle to work anymore.

My last ride was last month. I've wanted to test-ride my new carbon fiber hybrid gravel bike. I also wanted to try out a new cycling route. Before that, it had been over a month since I had cycled. The route back was too far, over 65km.

As I haven't done any cycling for over a month because of my knee problem, I started to strain and cramps. I walked for a while pushing my bike till able to cycle again. I should have tested the bike before attempting the long route. 

The seat was too high and my wrist started to feel pain. I already had a problem with my wrists. When I had covid, I had high fevers and it attacked all my joints. It's like it knows I've been having problems with them. Guess, when you're getting old, it all comes back to haunt you.

I've been using oilments, inflammation gel, and knee joint supplements. It works at first. That's how I was able to test-ride my new bike gravel bike. But, I've been struggling to heal my left knee again after that long ride. Was I wrong to overstrain my legs too early?

Maybe, so. Now, I have to bear the consequences. I might have taken my knee problem too lightly. In fact, now, my feet are swollen. I don't even know why. It's not the first time I've had a swollen foot. It's because I've been kicking things when I was angry before.

Well, if you've kicked a wooden chair, you'll know it's gonna get swollen. But, I didn't even do anything. That's why, I'm perplexed. Yesterday, I remembered my late dad had the same swollen foot problem. And, it's because of diabetes. 

I'm wondering if I have diabetes or even gout? The old man at work told me I might have gout. He advised me to have a blood test. My friend said maybe it's gout too. I don't know anything about diabetes or gout. The last thing I want to do is see a doctor or a knee specialist.

So much for cycling as a form of low-impact exercise. Now, I can't even bend my left knee anymore. The thing is, I did start to feel pain in both my knees and the strain around it. Though I cycled to work every day, it wasn't that far. I was getting fitter and able to cycle far and up slopes.

To be clear, I already had a problem with my knees even before I started cycling again. I trained in TKD, played soccer, did gym, and joined the military. It was only after I started working that I stopped doing any kind of exercise. I even had a slipped disc.

Anyway, I hope my knee will get better and I can start to ride again. Missing it!

Is Cycling the Ultimate Exercise? #cycling #cyclinglife #cyclinglifestyle

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Is cycling the ultimate exercise?

Well, for someone with bad knees, it's certainly one of the best low-impact exercises I can do without worry. Recently, my left knee kept giving me problems. I'll wake up feeling pain and not being able to bend it. After putting on some gel and taking vitamins, it'll be alright.

The next morning, it'll happen again. Maybe, I'm getting old. Things we used to do when we were young and healthy. Just a distant memory. lol. Right at the time, when I discovered the joy of cycling again. However, I can still go hiking and photography.

To quickly answer the question is cycling the ultimate exercise? For me, is yes. Some may say, it's swimming. I used to see old men and women slowly doing laps with the frog style. I wish I could swim like them. But, for some reason even after doing lessons, I can't.

I believe it's because I have short breath. Ok, maybe I just suckz at swimming. An added plus to cycling is that I love cycling to places with beautiful scenery. I love the greenery and the sound of birds or bugs. I love the beautiful quiet beaches where there's nobody else but me.

Cycling is such a joy for the young and old. Sometimes, I felt like a kid again when cycling. It's also a great adventure. Some people like to cycle to faraway countries or just nearby. You can also cycle and camping. Like I've said, I love to cycle and do some photography.

Night or day, it all depends on you. I have friends who invited me to go cycling at night. I very much prefer cycling in the day. Yes, it's hot. But, you can't see much at night. Sometimes, it's already night by the time I reach home. It's also dangerous as certain places don't have good lighting.

My main reason for cycling is to exercise and lose some weight. I also wanted to maintain some level of fitness. I used to cycle to work and at the last part, before I reached work, I had to climb a little slope. I called it my 'little slope of hell'. 

I'm always almost out of breath when I reach the top of the slope. I wasn't able to cycle to the top in the first few months. It wasn't until I bought myself a foldable mountain bike with better gear ratios that I did it. Even then, if I don't feel well, I would just push it up the damn slope.

One thing strange is that it was easy going up the slope using a fixie. When I tried riding up the slope it was rather easy although it's just using a single speed. I'm wondering if it's because of the direct link from the crank to the tires.

There was also another time that I had to climb a rather steep slope which wasn't there before. It used to be a straight flat route but a diversion was made. I was afraid of my knees because I rarely stood up on my bike. To me, a fixie is a great bike to train up power in your legs.

insta360 x3 4K test ride my new carbon fiber hybrid straight handlebar gravel bike

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I couldn't test my new carbon fiber hybrid straight handlebar gravel bike for over a month because I had a problem with my left knee. Now, that it got better, I decided to try a new cycling route with it. Then again, I shouldn't have?

It was quite a distance and I started to have cramps before reaching it. I should have tested it before going for the long ride. Turn out, the seat was too high. I began to have neck and wrist pains because of it. Other than that, the bike works really well!

 

I wasn't sure about not having a front suspension but the tyres make it up for it. People kept asking me what the tire's size and I told them it was 700x40c. The aero design makes it a smooth fast ride. Well, that's what I'm assuming anyway.

I've said this in my other post but I love the smooth carbon fiber frame. I'm lucky that I didn't scratch it when I fell. Hurt my left knee but I continue to cycle back home. Going up-slope was a breeze as the 11-speed cassette gear Sram change worked well.

I'm not a strong rider and haven't cycled for a month, I didn't want to over-exert myself. As a mostly leisurely urban rider, hybrid bikes work well. I can go on gravel, pathways, dirt roads, and whatever. I have a slip disc, hence I opt for a straight handlebar. It also offers better control.

This is my first time using a full hydraulic brake and I like it. Works well, so far. Maybe, too well. I almost, fly over the bar when I pulled an emergency brake. Need to get used to it. I'm not sure how to maintain it though. When the time comes, I'll learn then.

The carbon fiber frame is pretty light too. If I remember, it's around over 9kg. It feels rigid and strong. I didn't measure the handlebar length but it seems wide and comfortable enough for me. I don't have any preferences. As long as it's 720mm and below. 

The bike frame is designed like a road bike so they're using a bike stem with cable running through it. It makes the bike look clean and smooth. But, it came out via the stem to the brakes and shifter. I didn't check what kind of shifter they installed and had to adjust the location for my thumb easy reach.

As a whole, I'm really satisfied with the bike. Love the design, glossy white color, great brakes, and shifters. Feels good to hold the handlebar with PU leather bike grips. The 700x40c tires are very comfortable to ride on too. 

I'm hoping my knee will get well soon so that I can go ride my new carbon hybrid gravel bike again. Such a joy!

it took me 9 mins cycling on my java j air fuoco gold road bike from punggol park to lor halus red bridge

Seraph Chameleon Paint Superlight Carbon Fiber Road Racing Bike Bicycle Frame

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I have cycled to lor halus (google map) from punggol park (google map) a couple of times and was wondering how fast can I ride straight without stopping on my new Java J Air Fuoco road bike. I'm not a pro or even young. I have two bad knees and a slipped disc. My tummy won't allow me to go aero.

I'm still new to the bike and playing around with the 22-speed while cycling. I do cycles on my mountain bike to and fro from my house to work daily. So, I at least have some level of fitness. According to my Strava, I managed to reach the bridge which is 3.51km within 9:08 mins.



Seraph Chameleon Paint Superlight Carbon Fiber Road Racing Bike Bicycle Frame

I do believe someone younger and fitter could get even lower timing. But, you'll have to be careful and watch your speed sometimes because there are many other cyclists and joggers blocking your way. Some like to hog the lane as if they own it.

My stats on Strava shows that my average speed was 23.1km/h. Avg Power is 207W. Frankly, I didn't really want to push myself harder as I've said, I'm not a pro or young. I have to take care not to hurt my knees and back further. That's why I believe someone could do a better timing.

If you're wondering, I used my GoPro Hero 10 to record this video. Someone asked me about the action camera the other day and I'm totally recommending it. I've had no issues taking videos and even pictures. You can check some of the videos I took on my youtube channel here.

I also told the guy about the Insta360 camera. He wasn't really interested in it. His mind seems set on the GoPro. He told me that some people complain about Hero10 and some say stick with Hero9. I told him, not to listen to what people 'think' too much and just go for whichever camera he wanted.

The fact of the matter is that every product has its pros and cons. You work through those. I had fun with my GoPro but then I did the mistake of putting a bloated battery inside it and got stuck. I did get it out but now it's not working. I'll send it for repair later, one day.

I decided to get the Insta360 because I was intrigued by the ability to hide the selfie stick. I didn't understand how it work at first as the holder keeps showing and blocking the view. I thought I needed software or the stick I got was a cheap fake. Turn out, I needn't put an extra camera adapter on it.



GoPro HERO11 Black - Waterproof Action Camera with 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video, 27MP Photos, 1/1.9" Image Sensor, Live Streaming, Webcam, Stabilization

You just need to put the Insta360 camera on the stick and you don't even need to turn it towards you when taking video. It'll take a 360 view of the surrounding area and you can choose and edit the frame later. You don't need to take several different views or angle shots. Really cool!

My friends and family were asking and wondering how I took a back-view video of me cycling. Of course, I just need to put the selfie stick behind me by using the bike frame clamp. The way the 360 camera works, the blind spot under the camera won't show the stick. Voila!

I'm really beginning to love the Insta360 X3 camera. And, there's even free video editing software and more free cool features you can add to your video. They have several other products too. Depends on what you're going for and need. I'll be making more videos with the X3 so subscribe to my channel!

I went for night ride test on my java j air fuoco road bike to lor halus and punggol boardwalk

Java Suprema Carbon Fiber Shimano 105 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle Worldwide Shipping

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I went out to test my new Java J Air Fuoco Disc carbon road bike - GOld and it was a joy to ride on. Not totally perfect though. As I'll need to do some bike fitting of my own. Especially, since I'm not so err..athletic. Everyone's body sizes are different, as long as you're comfortable.

I need to saw again the seatpost maybe an inch shorter. My drop bar is way too low for me. I can raise the height but I'll need to buy a fork extender. My drop bar is a carbon-integrated type, so I can't adjust the height and length of the bike stem unless I change it to a non-integrated type.



Java Suprema Carbon Fiber Shimano 105 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle Worldwide Shipping

I do like the integrated drop bar. It's maybe a bit too long for my short arm's length. The good thing is, it makes me more aero. The only problem for me is that it's giving me pain in the neck yesterday night. My bike frame is already the smallest I could find and I still need to do some bike fitting.

I'm wondering if I should have got a little bigger road bike size. I compare it with my Java Veloce road bike and the front head side is actually higher. The thing is even after doing some bike fitting on my Veloce, I still think, there's more I can do to make it more comfortable.



Vision Metron 5D Road Handlebar with Integrated 100mm Stem, Drop: 125mm, Reach: 80mm, W: 420mm

Unless you're a professional cyclist with all the support of sponsors, you can easily build a bike that'll truly fit you to the T. In spite of all that, I'm not complaining though. The Java J air carbon is a good bike. I'm even surprised at how tough a carbon bike is. With all the horror stories I've heard.

I'm beginning to love everything carbon about a bike. The integrated drop bar isn't all that bad too. Ok, if you can find one that really fits you. If not, just get a non-integrated carbon drop bar. I might do that down the line. Maybe, the technology has got better even for $1k+ carbon fiber road bikes. 



REDSHIFT ShockStop Suspension Seatpost for Bicycles, Shock-Absorber Bike Seat Post for Road, Gravel, Hybrid, and E-Bikes

I love the carbon fiber wheelset too. This was the first time, I ride on one. Feels solid and sturdy. The free hub sound is really loud. It is so loud, I don't even have to tell people to get out of my way as they can hear my wheels churning behind them. It's kinda funny.

One thing is for sure, I need to learn which gears to use as I'm used to my 9-speed veloce road bike. The java j air is 11 speed. I keep forgetting to get into the lowest gear fast when I need to climb up a slope. Always find out my mistake halfway pedaling up.

I must say, I'm also loving wearing a non-cleat rubber sole cycling shoe. I have never worn any kind of cycling shoe much less with a cleat. I'm not really a serious cyclist, mostly just for leisure. I like some of the designs and colors. Wore it yesterday and it was really comfy and stuck to the pedal like glue. 

I usually cycle to interesting places that I've never been to and will sometime bring my camera along. That's why I prefer not to wear cycling shoes with cleats. I can't walk around with them. That's why I find it much better to wear cycling shoes with rubber soles. It felt 'normal' and comfortable.

Check out some of my road bike pics below:

A beautiful evening sunset and a nice cooling night to go test ride on my new Java J Air Fuoco Disc carbon gold color road bike. A little too dark in some areas as I can't see some bumps and didn't lose control. Also, a cyclist should point their light low instead of at other cyclists' faces. 

I couldn't see anything because of some idiot's on-coming bike light pointing right at my face. There are also certain times when other cyclists couldn't keep right or left and I had to swerve away. Be aware of where you are and what you do. Use some common sense ffs.

I love cycling on my java veloce road bike to punggol boardwalk

Java Suprema Carbon Fiber Shimano 105 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle Worldwide Shipping.

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I went out cycling yesterday on my Java Veloce road bike and it makes me realize how much I miss it. I usually went cycling when there's a long holiday weekend. So, I won't be too tired the next day at work. It was kinda a last-minute decision as I thought I would just rest at home.

Well, I'm glad, I decided to go. Although, it's just a quick ride. Usually, when I went out cycling, I'm in mission mode. Bringing along my Nikon camera to take photos of places I visited. I decided to just have a nice ride along the cycling path and then return home.



Java Suprema Carbon Fiber Shimano 105 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle Worldwide Shipping.

I've checked the weather forecast and it was supposed to be sunny early in the morning and heavy rainfall in the afternoon. It was already dark and started drizzling by the time I reached my target destination. I managed to get some pictures and videos of the places I stop by.

You can watch the video above or here on my youtube channel. That's part of the reason why I love cycling. I get to go out and do some exercise and at the same time visit places that I've never been to before. Also, I started to love photography after I bought my Nikon P950 and Zfc. 



Schwinn Road-Bicycles Phocus

The Java bike that I bought is the only road bike that I have ever bought and owned. I usually prefer a mountain bike. I always thought road bikes are only for athletes and those loving to race. I decided to get one because I thought it'll be much faster riding one.

I found out that it's actually a fun bike to ride. Although I'm afraid to hurt my back with all that bending, it's not all that bad. I just needed to adjust the seat and the handlebar. But, the speed is what it's all about. I love the feeling of going fast on a straight road.

My budget Java Veloce road bike with its aluminum frame is pretty light and strong. I didn't have to use much power and it was a smooth ride even when the road aren't smooth with cracks and small twigs bumps. I have bad knees so, I don't really want to push too hard. 

I just make sure I have a good rhythm and a constant space. I'm not that young anymore too. I think the maximum speed I went was almost 30km/h. That's when it was a straight road with no other cyclists or joggers. I did try to catch a rider though but in the end, he went another route.

My co-worker used to urge me to buy an e-bike. There's been actually a lot of accidents involving them. They've also been in the news that causing fires because of the battery. I think it's cool but it beats the reason of me getting into cycling for health reasons. 

Yes, my knees feel the strain but I rather enjoy the hard work and the sweats. I like my Java veloce but I'm thinking of getting a Java suprema aero full carbon frame bike. It looks super cool and I'm assuming it's much faster. Right now, I'm into Java bikes. Did you know they collaborate with an Italian designer?

done! change new road bike R87 Titanium promend pedals #shorts

ROCKBROS Advanced 4 Bearings Mountain Bike Pedals Platform Bicycle Flat Alloy Pedals 9/16"

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My new PROMEND R87 titanium road bike pedals arrived and I immediately go to work fitting them to my Java Veloce road bike. Yes, I know, it's not the road bike pedal with cleats. As I've explained in my last blog post, I don't have road bike shoes and I mostly cycle to nature parks and beaches.

I like visiting those places and taking pictures. Walking around in a road bike shoe with cleats won't be practical. I don't even like wearing those road cycling shirts and shorts. Though, I'm thinking of trying it out maybe in the future. Check out some of the places I've been to in this video.



ROCKBROS Advanced 4 Bearings Mountain Bike Pedals Platform Bicycle Flat Alloy Pedals 9/16"

Well, I tested my new pedal on my Java Veloce road bike and it actually feels good. It's a little smaller than a mountain bike version. On my commute to work, there is a lot of stops so, wearing shoes with cleats would be troublesome.

I also don't ride on the roadside but on the pathway. So, it's a slow ride having to navigate through people hogging the path. Traffic in the morning is heavy and the road isn't smooth on the side. There are cracks everywhere. I'm afraid of slipping and falling where cars might run you over.



SHIMANO PD-EH500 Urban Riding & Cycle Touring Double-Sided Bike Pedal

Once in a while, usually in the evening, the road and pathway are clear and I'm able to go fast. In fact, yesterday I was able to go a little bit faster. But, I was afraid of making a mistake as it's not a smooth pathway with many metal grating and little holes.

I have fallen from my road bike before that's why I'm careful when riding on bad or slippery surfaces. Unless it's an empty road or cycling lane that's clear of other cyclists or people. Then, it's a joy to ride and go for speed. So far, I'm happy with my new road bike pedals.

I'm also starting to learn and enjoy using the magene c406 bike computer. I didn't understand how to use it at first. On my last cycling trip I was fed up not being able to link it that I decided to use the Strava app on my iPhone 13 instead. 

It's only now I realized that I've made a mistake and using the wrong app. I thought, I already bound it to the magene app at first but because I haven't been using it, I forgot. I know now how to start recording, save it and upload it to the magene and Strava app.



Magene H603 Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitor, ANT+ and Bluetooth Compatible with Fully Adjustable Strap, iPhone & Android Compatible

I'm not a professional or even an amateur cyclist. More of a hobbyist. I don't do any kind of training except cycling to work and home. But, using a bike computer and using the Strava app to check my daily stats is actually kinda nifty and fun.

I didn't think I want to at first but now I want to know my heart rate data. That's why I decided to get the magene H64 heart rate monitors. It'll be interesting to know my heart rate reading, especially when going up the "little slope of hell". Cycling is way fun!
