The bunny crash

A fantastic day for a spin and a trip to the bike shop to get my pedal change. On my way home, i remembered my good friend taught me how to do the bunny hope. Then few days ago i try, finally i did it. With excitement i did it over and over again till i wanted to hope over something. At my miss-judgement i pulled the rear wheel too hard and the front did not get off the ground at all and i end up with a crash that the handle bar hits my rib cage.

Ouch!

Yup! Once again i did something silly and without any expert guidance. Now i have to rest and hang loose for awhile, again... Till then, watch out for a new adventure on Cheap trail.

LOL sounds like a TV show.

Like a ghost town

After a long break and recovering from my really extremely bad cough that lasted for about 2 months, I finally got this chance to go riding once more again. Today, i set my coast for Marina South, an island with great happenings usually during the weekends night, where you will find good food and clubs to wind your stress away.

I had being trying to get to this island for sometime now, wondering how to get there and wanting to avoid the crazy traffic in Shenton Way or Raffles Place. Instead I ride through by the ECP fly over going towards Marina South. A long slope up and a long slope down, fun but tiring though.

A climb into dead town, almost...

Finally reach my destination, however i have to go through a construction site first. Don't worry, it is totally safe, not much of heavy vehicles were sighted. About a total of 27km from Toa Payoh there and back. During my scroll around, notice that some shops that are used to be there, were gone and clear out. The kite shop that had lots of beautiful designs also was gone. During my expedition in that area, somewhat it feels like a ghost town. Perhaps during the weekends would be different.
