Appealing for international aid while bombing near the epicentre

Hopefully our guys (and other international contingents) don't end up having to clean up the bombing damage too

Wait later go there instead of helping, been killed instead

Ya, just like some aid workers in a certain active conflict zone I shall not name...

2 months no jogging since I bought my hybrid bike. Now busy looking for a road bike. Many choices but must avoid being tempted easily

The Pro Cyclists are over there. They will give you more poison.

Damn it, my diastolic pressure reached 77 and 76 just now (measured 1hr apart), Think i better cut down on salt and stuff and be more mindful. Will test again tonight and verify again
Used to be +/- 70 more towards upper 60s.

BTW, as per 1 GP and 2 specialists (pretty good ones), dont let anyone tell you that prehypertensive values are ok. That is BS and are definitely not. Esp for those > age 50.

Do both running and cycling. I gave up jogging totally for more than 7 years then later realised I have a collapsed arch for my left foot. Strangely after getting back into running, my collapsed arch isn't so noticeable anymore. Not forgetting, running can prevent osteoporosis, whilst cycling might cause osteoporosis.

As for road bike, can consider a Giant TCR or Giant Defy. Do ride safely. Don't join a cycling group that always chiong speed and ignore traffic lights.

Alternatively, just buy a spin bike for cycling at home. This is really good for training if u don't mind no outdoors.

Wow. Powerful video.

Come to think of it, it is pretty true.

Looks like it is broader than what it can do in exercise performance.

For older folks, if done correctly, i believe it should still play a part in overall maintaining more type 2 muscle fibres which i agree with them is paramount in importance.

very happy today I bought my road bike tarmac sl8 pro but haven’t collect. Will use my hybrid bike sirrus 4.0 much lesser.

really loved the sirrus, faster than a mountain but slower than a road.

Since Jan this year enjoyed riding my sirrus on road and pcn

thank you for your kind advice! I a bit scared for my knee so I switched to cycling. Everytime pop pop sound lol

and cycling can go many places faster and admire the surroundings

Just now saw an accident between Hello SG bike vs roadie. Roadie lying semi upright against a passer by's leg, surrounded by like 10 members of the public and 4 AETOS.
Got AETOS coz marina barrage area, at the fountain and ramp.,,,their main guard room just 50 metres away nia.
From the look of his grimacing face (pale also), i think some fracture of sorts cannot siam one. Cant be a slow speed accident. Probably waiting for SCDF ambulance or something.

Correct outcome. Roadie too skinny and fragile. Hello sg bui bui forever.

Congrats! I tot u first timer road bike so recommended something friendlier pricing for u to try out in case regret. I was so wrong. 动不动就超过一万。

Again, safety first. Don't be influenced by peer riders. Speed doesn't mean anything. Strength, endurance, fitness, health, and safety are things that matter. (Strava doesn't matter)
