Questions about the flinc

Hi all,

I'm asking about the flinc - because it's available in Singapore (my country) and also because the elevators I get into at work and home are tiny, so I think it might fit better than the omnium nano.

Does anyone have any ideas of how I could expand the rack when needed - the flinc rack is much smaller than that of the nano which would've been my alternative bike. I was hoping to use the bike to recover a 20 inch Dahon bike.

Thanks in advance!

Bike rack shelter ideas

I want to park my bike at bike racks - but these racks are exposed to the elements - rain and the sun which might accelerate corrosion on my bikes. Rather than put on and off a rain cover constantly, are there any ideas for how I can make a makeshift shelter?

This would be these type of racks mounted against a wall

Or the double tier bike racks. https://cyclesafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/bike-rack-quad-hi-density.jpg

I have more leeway with the double tier bike racks because no one really uses them( especially the top rack)

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

How to get agencies to plant more trees/greenery in the area

There are some areas near my neighbourhood and that I frequent which are fking hot - bc there are no trees (also bc the road is damn huge but there's another issue)

For example: Neil Rd (the shophouse stretch), Zion Rd, etc., or at the big traffic junctions where you wait to cross for like 5 minutes and are getting baked in the meanwhile. (Whatever happened to ng chee mengs traffic light umbrella?)

I think there can be trees planted in the centre divider where they put the green barriers to stop people crossing, or elsewhere - bc it's so damn hot, but am unsure how best to go about doing this and if y'all have any insights.

Omnium mini loads

Please post the loads carried on your nano/mini! I recently tried a mini (and a flinc) at a local dealer, and am really keen on getting a mini/nano to get extra cargo capacity, but am curious what can be hauled.

Specifically I'm curious if it can haul a 20 inch bike folded (in case I need to recover a bike that's got a puncture while out). Thanks!

Edit: I am not considering the minimax/cargo because of various space constraints on my commute/ living situation (elevator, narrow paths I have to squeeze through, turns etc)

Aggressive pedestrian WWYD

Waa cycling down a pavement that was fairly wide, auntie walking in the middle. I rang bell from about 50m away, auntie ignored me. Eventually she turned around saw me, then walked towards my bike ( I was on the right and kept inching towards the side of the pavement to avoid her). She then tried to flick her tote bag at me/ my bike.

I told her off and then ride off.

What would you have done?
