Go back to ABC - A BiCycle!

With the continuous increase in the cost of driving a car or taking a taxi in Singapore, many are compelled to take public transports and even riding a bicycle within the housing estates.

In my younger days, I used to go to school, run errands and go to town on bicycle. There are so many benefits of cycling, no COE (at least for the moment, hope there'll never be!), no ERP (Electronic Road Pricing) charges because you don't have to go under the ERP gantries, no road tax because you are not using the road except for some bold cyclists, no parking fees but just be careful of those signs that say "your bicycle may be removed", no licence fees because you don't drive, you only pedal, no worry about rising fuel prices, low repair and maintenance costs because when it wears out in a year, just replace with a brand new one, no waiting time because it is "ride and go" and it is unlikely to meet with any fatal accident unless it is knocked down by road bullies in metal casings. Better still, it keeps you fit and healthy as it is a healthy form of exercise.

But, there is one common problem though, if you park it in any of the common or public areas, you may lose one or more of the accessories such as the front wheel, the seat, the pedals and the rear mirror for those who like to take a second look at a pretty lady they have just overtaken.

Do you know you could enjoy all these benefits for just about one-off S$90 nett without any monthly instalment to service? For this price, you'll get a brand new 26-inch, 18-speed adult bicycle fully assembled and ready to go. Take a look at the picture, go get one and be on your way to a simple, economical and healthy lifestyle.

It is even less than zero monthly installment. It is negative installment from transportation savings!

I got my 2nd hand 26" shimano at S$70 in 1996 plus a bit more for changing the peddle, tire and some other parts in the following months. It is miraculously still with me while I have lost a couple of other 2nd hand bikes and one first hand bike over the years.
