Chill lah the naive ones eventually wise up to her MO. I was one of the naive ones, but after few years seeing the same shit happen over and over again I decided it's time to move on. They weren't like this when the club was smaller - everyone knew and respected each other. Joyce spoilt it all by putting her money-making schemes before the welfare of the riders. How many riders in their pack can honestly say they know the "club rules", like "no overtaking from left, signal intentions, no half-wheeling", and many other pack-riding rules? They just need to buy the jersey and voila - they're free to ride in the group without being pestered. Who cares about a silly bunch of rules - they're just for show right? All is well and good, until their riders get caught breaking traffic rules - http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/longhouse5am/message/20452
Boss, I'm now assigned to HK office so I'm not in the loop. You initiate and I'll surely support you all the way.
Roger that.. meanwhile I will keep the info flowing here as much as I can
Shimano only makes components for bikes. there is no such thing as a shimano 105 bike.
i 2nd that....from my experience in riding 2 decades ago
only chow ah guas sissies like you ride bicycle as a hobby.
I think Balls never mentioned about 105 bike, he said Shimano 105, referring to the series of the components.
normally i always have patience on cyclists, be it tricycle or 2 wheelers but i cannot tahan those posers who wear fancy cyclist jerseys and fanciful bicycle who gather in a big group on public road. riding in group of 20 and above dont give them rights of way, knn hogging the left lane and block motorists from turning left. riding at night without any lights visible and the last rider shd at least wear a high visible jacket over his/her stoopid jersey so that other road users can see them. i encounter them a few time at night along the tampines road leading to tampines ave 10 with little regards to safety. that is a twisting and dark dual carriageway where most motorist will step hard on the gas pedal as it normally devoid of traffic at night so what those cyclists are doing is just an accident waiting to happen.
Where and when did I say Shimano made bikes you twit?
Boss, these twits dun noe anything about bikes so forgive them lah.
Twits, there is no Shimano 105 bike, but there is Shimano 105 group set.
A big group owns the left lane. Motorists just have to learn to be patient.
i have no problem if they ride in single file but to ride 3-4 deep is too much. especially on narrow single lane road, u expect the motorist to drive at 25-30km/h (provided there no weak cyclists) behind the cyclists?
i too ride bicycle in the past, a hand-me-down mountain bike from a NS friend, to work on saturday, from hougang to tanjong pagar. even though it in the day, i make sure my attire (tshirt and normal shorts) are of bright color and turn on the red blicking light at the rear. i only stop after office move further west of the island. now those posers ride at night in dark color jersey and no lights at all, are they having a death wish?

Here's the latest on the Langkawi tour.... Singapore is LAST and 10 Minutes adrift and they haven't even hit the mountains yet! What a bloody disgrace!
How on earth can a team of "stars" lose 10 minutes in a series of 4 flat stages with no significant cross winds to speak of? It would seem they can't even wheel suck.

Yes that's what the motorist is supposed to do. Cyclists ride 3 to 4 abreast because we want to chit chat along the way. We can't do that if we ride single file. Motorists simply have to be patient and they can overtake when the opportunity arises. 30kph is a reasonable speed and since Singapore roads are congested, you're not really gaining much time going any faster. All that happens is you arrive 30 seconds earlier at the next traffic light.
I agree with you on this. Cyclists should make themselves as visible as possible.
