Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

[erwinrommel]

I am interested to know too. please share if any expert knows.

Can be done but have to use some pavement along the way.

Use the Ulu pandan PCN, then use Commonwealth ave to reach Alexandra PCN, then to Great World. The underpasses are recently opened. Use the scenic Singapore river path but must check whether there's any construction.

Then go into Raffles place and into GBTB==> ECP.

Personally, most seasoned cyclists won't use this.

Prefer to use road using Telok Blangah==> Pasir Panjang==> West Coast==> Jurong Town Hall==> BB

For thrill, ride bukit brown from kheam hock/sime road, interesting and huge with many undulating loops inside.

I used to stay near Jurong East and how I got to ECP was by the following
1. JE -> west coast highway -> Vivo City -> Keppel -> Shenton Way -> Nicoll Highway -> Fort Road to ECP. That was before all the nice nice connector came up.

but now I would think there will be a better route esp on the Nicoll highway portion where you can replace it by MBS-> Barrage-> ECP

I have aleoca hybrid bike. Sadly recently bike puncture and realise it's a 28inch inner tube. Aleoca is arranging for me to get it from Tampines Giant. Hopefully, no big issue but I was surprise I can't find this size inner tube.

Coming back...I find aleoca bike ok. Not light but do the job. And hopefully, no one target to steal...

28? So weird

i did this recently. take the ulu pandan pcn all the way to buona vista, then continue for a short distance to queenstown mrt where you will hit the alexandra pcn. after that continue along singapore river towards marina boulevard, then past mbs and gardens by the bay to barrage, where there's a very scenic bridge that you can take to cross marina reservoir towards ecp. after you cross the bridge you basically follow the path all the way to ecp. hope this helps!

edit: i must add that this route is slightly longer but i found it to be worth the extra as the gardens and barrage areas were very nice spots for phototaking.

Less traffic so technically safer... not like last time I have to smell "smoke"

Sent from Xiaomi MI 4I using GAGT

front suspension only, no rear, 14kg frame with wheels,, v-brakes, ready to cycle without accessories, Scale of lightness/heaviness?

 

[rarenick]

I think thats about the average weight, coz its about same as mine as well.

The body is aluminium right?

What if i tell u is heavy? Not as if u will do anything about it until your next upgrade of items or entire bike. So dun think too much. Just cycle
