Where to buy economical basic 26" mountain bicycle

[Kianbeng]

sorry if I have misled you thinking that I can ride 20km. The further I rode was like 10km about 5years ago. hahaha.....

 

20km is a challenge for me even though it's categorised as "Community Ride".

still you are better than me lah, the most I can last on the bike is about 10 to 15mins

[Kianbeng]

Never know....how fast you can travel in that 10-15 mins. hahaa.

I've seen a big woman putting a big stool like on her bike. Her behind very big, fat Albert type. Then I think she put sponge on the stool.

 

10~15mins at what speed? Roughly? Some pple do IPPT with bike one should be able to tell if within silver or gold leh?

 

Once u done more and more u can go more! I ever cycle to Causeway 2 and back(Central area). From 11pm till 5am. Now, miss these, kneel pain, back pain, shoulder pain. Bike collecting dust now.

 

Cycle at Bukit Timah track too. Don't know still around or not.

I went for ops on both knees back in 93, it was initially at the back of the leg at the knee joints, after ops, no more pain but in 95~96, pain is back but shifted to the front, rubbing against the knee caps

Do remember to set aside a budget to change your mountain bike tires to a semi slick tires.. Unless you are still getting gold in IPPT as of now..

As per subject, where got the best deal for 26" mountain bicycle?

 

me looking for around $100 or less, basic model, will have to add a small rear seat + front basket so that I could ferry my eldest son (P3) next year in the morning to his school.

 

Carrefour :)

Check your Carrefour bicycle thoroughly when you get it to make sure everything works. They come from the factory in knocked-down flatpack configuration and require end assembly by the Carrefour staff, or by yourself.
