Cycling or Driving

I used to do that when I was still at my old working place, since there's a shower facility there. In general, try to cycle early before the morning rush hour to avoid all the hassle, and also you need time to shower and change. Going back home, either you go back earlier (since you come earlier) if your boss/company allow you to, or go back later; again, to avoid the rush hour.

 

It depends on your route, though, as certain areas the traffic is more "civilised". CBD, despite the heavy traffic, I find that the traffic is manageable. Places like geylang, macpherson, etc, the traffic is simply too messy and a bit dangerous...

 

Last time, after cycled with my clipless pedal a few times, i decided to change to platform pedal for safety reason. Faster to jump off the bike should something happen... Also, not sure whether you are riding a road bike or mountain bike, the thickness of your tyre may save your life also. I had a few close call with my road bike due to the way LTA put up the grilled hole cover and metal plates on areas with underground construction.

 

Most importantly, enjoy the ride... morning air with less car is so refreshing :)

 

haha. totally agree. Macpherson and geylang the traffic is too much to handle. So good sia your office got shower facilities!

one cent money one cent goods eh

 

I agree, but not when your workplace is a 10min ride away. No point in spending top dollars.

 

Got nice bicycle no girl see, got car only girl surely see.
