recce route by looking at map before hand. gps can tell me more than that meh?

i don't know how much money you spend on your bike, but long route will be tedious is duh.

Concentrate on studies, don't waste time on internet bullshit like NWO/Illuminati.

Go and look up a history professor and discuss with him NWO/Illuminati, he will explain to you clearly why it is rubbish.

But you risk looking like a fool in front of him.

A professor discussed with me in deatail about it before indeed u big fool .

He does agree that it is very possible and humans always have hidden agendas in everything they do especially when it comes to capitalism, mind u this guy is a PHD is finance and economics.

depends on how good yr map is. Again there may be possible errors or things like construction sites and road closures may not show up. In that case use the detour function

dude, you should try cycling from one mrt station to another, and try timing yourself. unless you are going at a not so relax pace, will normally take 8-10 minutes.

i cycle to tuition sometimes, and i am speaking from experience.

if you cycle on pavement, i rest my case.

btw, cylists shld be on the road.

20km/hr in cycling terms is really slow.

i have seen people cycling in expressway. is it allowed according to traffic rules?

But not history professor!

Hidden agenda is quite true, but not the NWO/illuminati drivel.

There is no evidence whatsoever on that.

Just empty rhetoric.

We can say that it is complete cow dung.

That is true.

do you cycle much? do you know that there is traffic on the road, and you have to stop sometimes? do you know that the road to your destination is not always a straight line? and you will tire out when you go uphill, and have to control your speed when going downhill?

i cycle on the road about 80% of the time, pavement about 20%, depending on the needs. for safety, i follow the traffic signals of the pedestrian.

even if by law i am suppose to follow the traffic signals of the cars, i won't do it man, safety first.

SPLIT SECOND SG

depends on the route, most times u can cut through carparks, blocks ect

ok, ok, maybe longer than 15mins.....especially in heavy traffic areas.

i cycle alot. i have 5 bikes.

just did the round island on sat. on shorter 60km route, we ave about 28-30km/hr.

this is contradictory man.

why would you need 5 bikes?

used to do night cycling, will cycle from NUS to East coast, and through the city area with no traffic, super nice. just cycle all the way, making detours for food, ... estimate about 40km. that one can go 30km/h no problem.

if the mrt is like 5km away, and you are doing 30km/h, and no traffic, will take about 10 minute, no problem

Cut through the landed property is enough.

why do you need more than 1pr of shoes?

i agree i overestimated the time. however, to take 1 hr to get to 5 mrt stations (less than 8km) is not on. an average runner can cover 10km in 1 hr.

at 30km/h, sometimes i get passed easily by other riders. some older than i.

so, i add 15mins to my estimated cycle time and eagle take it down 30mins. i think 30mins to cycle 5 mrt station is very conservative liao.

Australia allows citizens to have dual citizenship.

Most of them never really leave Australia for good. There's an option to return home.

Excerpts from an article:

there are advantages for Australia in the new out-movements:

The Australian govt does not call them 'quitters'.

since you are a vivid cyclist, try it out next time.

How come this become a bicycling topic?

It's clean and green.

Plus greener pastures.

You think?
