There is a whole bunch of foreign workers cycling to work here in Geylang area, unfortunately its mainly confined to this area here. Now with HDB's policy of allowing sublet, hopefully more of these people will populate more roads with commuter cyclist islandwide. Critical mass?

I’m game, but I might not be in Singapore in late ‘09. How do you plan to publicise it? (I’ve tried on sites like Togoparts, but the reaction was… less than enthusiastic.)

Questions! 1. What are you riding here in Singapore? 2. What's your story? You seem awfully in tune with society and culture here, from the things you write about. M Ha ha,

Well, I don’t have an army either, but I will I ride with you, if I’m in town that is, which unfortunately I don’t think will be a very common thing in future.

Questions!
1. What are you riding here in Singapore?
2. What’s your story? You seem awfully in tune with society and culture here, from the things you write about.

People on Togoparts also laughed it off. So, I don't have enough of a willing social network to amass the numbers for it, I think. If you know people who would want to participate, do let me know! Michael,

Rock on for choosing lugged steel road. I don't understand bicycles here in Singapore. Potential for critical mass in Singapore do you think? Cheers, M Hello there,

I am seriously considering cycling more often though - raising fuel cost, exorbitant cost of car ownership and building a substantial endurance base are compelling reasons. You are right saying that the cycling culture is just not built into Singapore (yet?). Your many posts eloquently put a finger to the frustrations I've had while communting on my bicycle - great stuff! I have been considering a fixie for 3 months now and may just take the plunge soon! Take care, ride safe and keep your blog-post coming. Hey,
