I rode my 7th NTU Bike Rally yesterday, with a whole bunch of NTU undergrads and members of the public. An undergrad I chatted with under a scorching sun some 80km into the ride, learnt it was not my first rally. She asked me painfully, “why did you come back?” I felt your pain, sistah! […]
We took a gamble of $35 for a bicycle jersey design we had not seen before. But I trusted that the students would be more picky than I was and it turned out very nicely indeed. In about five hours, we’ll find out how this jersey performs in the heat and rain we should expect […]

Last night I learnt of this e-Fiesta 2012 conference and with active twitterers present, I […]
Runkeeper makes greats plots of bicycle rides or other journeys but uses up lots of power. I discovered this when I borrowed Ladybug’s iPhone so that I could plot my Changi breakfast ride one Sunday. The phone lasted about 3.5 hours (we took long breaks that morning) before giving up its ghost. So there was […]
The replacement for a tearing 7-year old saddle: I examined this Brook’s Champion Flyer saddle in May after several recommendations, so Ladybug figured this was a no brainer for a birthday present.
