I'm seriously considering just buying an electric bicycle, it would make commuting much easier & probably cut it down by at least 15 min.

get a road bike and train with a couple of road bike group around, those semi hard pace at 35 kph or so. get used to the speed then try commuting to work. slowly increase the mileage . dont suddenly do everyday, your body will be shagged out

and then use the road bike to commute. for me I use road bike to commute, one km is equivalent to around 2 mins travelling ti,e

Come on... If you die die want to use electric vehicles, might as well get a e-scooter since its smaller. But then its illegal.

Same for majority of the electric bikes out there.

No cyclists like slopes. But you should always console yourself that whatever slope you climb now, there will be a down slope later.

Go through hardship first, enjoy the labour of your fruits later.

That's how life is, right?

If you don't mind sharing.

What is your gender, age and weight?

I have seen many e-bikers, those who do use it to commute to work are mainly male, middle-aged to senior citizens and kinda heavy. My security guard at the warehouse parks his e-bike alongside my bicycle.

I prefer not to reveal any personal information. I'm still far from middle age.

I choose to commute cos taking a bus will take at least 40 min during peak hour. The idea of an e-bike is tempting, given how hilly my route to work is.

Erm....... she didn't google?

NEVER buy sunglasses/frames in local shops. Why are there so many optical shops?
Because their profit margin is oh so fat!
I bought my pure titanium rimless frames from TB for less than S$10, excluding shipping.

It's the Adidas Tycane Pro model and you have to include the prescription lens inserts.

If you've got shower facilities at office, it should be OK to ride to work once you've planned a suitable route. Sweat a bit (or a lot) is good too!

Singapore hills generally not too bad I think.

Unfortunately, there are no shower facilities available. Maybe I'm still not fit enough.

Hi guys, I am keen to get a hybrid bike with a budget of $1000 for the occasional leisure riding with friends. As I am clueless on where to start, I hope I can get some professional opinions. Is Cyclelogy located along Jalan Jurong Kechil a reputable shop?

Then the lens go where to make? That is very cheap for titanium frame.
