Long distance ride but mostly on pavement? I sure u will regret yr decision.

If u want to go long distance, cycle on road is the way!

A decent MTB will fit the bill la. The u go zhng the wheel,change knooby tire to slick. Sure very fast for commuting liao.

650 won't get u a good kona , trek or specialised first hand. Giant I think yukon and it is really not bad. Otherwise, can try Jamis.

Do u intend to do off-road with it?

I would be cycling more on road.. Not going on the trails till i am more experienced.

 

[Alpha_Hippo]

So dangerous....
Anyway why slick will travel faster?

If u consider dangerous, u can forget abt long distance cycling. Imagine the pavement full of pedestrian walking, how fast can u chiong?

Slick usually is lighter and thinner. Easier to accelerate.

slick has much lower rolling resistance.

In that case, go for full knobs, you'll have more fun, can happy happy corner, happy happy mount any terrain.

Full knobs feels just as fast when cruising, biggest issue is pickup slow only.


But at the end of the day, it's the rider, not the bike

It's not abt chiong or not. For example, if u want to get from Jurong west to east coast. Going by pavement will take u around 4hrs. Seriously, are u going to sit on yr saddle for 4 hrs? If u add in take break time, rest and other thing. It will be more than 4 hrs, like 5.5 hrs.. 5.5 hrs??? Are u serious? Wait.. we haven't calculate u need to cycle back. Like that will be 11hrs. 11hrs?? LOL... U must be joking!

And cycling on on pavement is a nuisance to pedestrian especially if the pavement is very narrow. Don't be a selfish person and break the law.

If u want to cycle mainly on pavement. Forget abt going long distance(20km and above). The most u can go is 5km.

I cycle from ang mo kio to changi village...mostly on pavement without any problem.
So I dont see what the problem with it

U can always rest before continue..it really up to the individual.....i like the feeling of getting extremely exhausted once in a while.

To me,i think the road is still dangerous.I take extreme precaution when cycling on pavement.
