So there is this Facebook account BD news 24 seemingly run by a Bangladeshi migrant worker driver and usually posts videos about car accidents and random happenings on the road. I am not sure if it's one person or a few people.

However he(assuming 1 guy) has also posted several videos in a misinformed and even harrassing manner claiming that the cyclists he videos are acting in a dangerous manner when they are doing nothing wrong at all while HE HIMSELF, is the one tailgating them in an unsafe manner instead.

Most other people are actually in agreement ,saying that there is no wrong being done by the cyclists. They have helmets,lights, and are riding in a predictable straight manner. This isn't some brakeless fixie YP group riding down Orchard weaving in and out with no lights.

I want to get an opinion from the community ,what do you all think? Should I report him?

Examples to his several posts:

Hi everyone, I am looking for a second hand gravel bike on carousel. I realise that there are so many giant listing. I used to think Giant is value for the dollar. Is there any big changes to Giant Quality over the years? Updates - after some checks, the giant revolt series is hard to remove the stem for packing the bike for overseas use :(

Lol wonder what other dirty shit this Chinese company do tbh . i saw their blue shirt staff throwing rubbish inside green color bicycle baskets at east coast park last month.. knew they up to no good. Better faster exit, better for the cleanliness of our Singapore island nation

dirty dirty

I find is risky to plug in earphones and plan to use my small-sized portable speaker. This means people around might feel “disturbed”

So i just got a new hybrid polygon path3 bike with 40mm wide tires. I was using it on a 3pm Sunday along the clementi/ulu pandan stretch of pcn and at 18-20kmh, i am already feeling breathless trying to sustain that speed after 5mins. So, do u all think this is a bike issue (hybrid not road), path issue or just my fitness issue. If u are to cycle on those red sections of railway corridor (non gravel), what is a decent speed (i heard 25kmh is the max legal limit)?

Hi guys, me and my girlfriend just started cycling and we are trying to get advice on what Bicycle should we be getting at a budget of below $400.

We are M28, H171 and F27 H160

Thank you!

What's the optimal balance for training between distance(volume), elevation, and intensity.

I ride about 330km a week +- 50 km.

I do :

one recovery ride under 50

one mid distance ride 60-85km

two shorter rolling ride 55-75km (eg. Mandai or Sentosa), 1 will be harder with zone 3/4 threshold intervals

one group ride similar to the rolling ride (but higher intensity, sometimes mini race like )

one climbing ride - hardest to do without getting bored af. usually 5 to 8 laps of intervals on Faber because Singapore doesn't have any higher elevation

Is this a good balanced ride plan? I don't own a power meter, bike computer or any gadgets. I ride by feel with my phone in my back pocket. I do my Faber intervals basically max effort with certain landmarks to know when to kick up the effort. As for the rolling z3 and z4 longer intervals, I go by approximate counting in my head

While I found my endurance for total volume to be better, my climbing and everything else seems to have sort of stagnated(going by average speed after the ride is uploaded onto strava).

In fact my climbing has even regressed from 2 years ago. Back then it was usually 5:00 - 5:30. Now it's 6:00 - 6:30. Could it be gaining 6-10kg or is there something wrong with my training plan.

Just do even more climbing since that's what's lacking when I look at my total weekly stats, maybe even 2 sessions a week? however I don't like doing this as Faber laps can be boring sometimes and I live in the east so riding there and back is already a little bit of a drag at 45km or so

Anyone with insights and/or pro advice could you please advice, thanks,much appreciated.

*PS I've left out purely commuting rides of 5-8 km on pavements that happens 3 to 6 times a weeks as I don't see them as proper training sessions*

Hi everyone, I would like to know is there any local bike shop in Singapore that provides heat molding for my Bont carbon shoe. Thank you very much 🙏

Hi, I’m 13M and I’ve been cycling around on PCNs for a while. I considered cycling on the road for a while but I didn’t as it was a bit too dangerous at that time. Should I cycle on the road? Thanks

Hello! As I am lucky enough to have a slow period at work, I would like to try cycling from home to work one day (Pasir Ris to Buona Vista).

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best route? I am okay to ride on the road but would prefer not to due to the morning traffic. Currently, I am considering taking the Lorong Halus bridge all the way to Hougang area, but I am lost after that.

I am also open to waking up really early to start my journey. It will be good if I can reach Buona Vista before 10.30am.

Thank you so much! 😊

For context: Im a mom in my early 30s and Im 170 tall. Been using helloride/anywheel for my grocery runs. The wet market is 3km away from my house. I usually take bus which is only 2 bustops away and its $1.25 per busride. I go to the market 2x a week.

Its about time to get my own bicycle. Thinking of getting a cargo bicycle/short haul but damn the prices be crazy. Thought of a foldie but not sure which brand is good/hardy enough for a heavy haul and could go a distance if I feel like cycling around the entire Singapore lol. I would want something that can have a rear and front rack for basket etc. I would also want a bike that can attach child seat for my 3yo.

Please give me some recommendations and/or advice. TYSM!!

Hi everyone,
I can see sizing guide on some decathlon hybrid bikes showing up to 195cm for size L, but appreciate any inputs on shops that are best for someone just starting out and planning to use PCN mainly. Thanks!
