The problem with 20" is the size of the bike when folded, i believe that is also why Brompton does not(want to ) have 20" wheels. 

A 1.9m tall guy riding a 16” wheel looks quite weird. 😅

A big dormitory is there.. those lorries are ferrying those workers.

The sand bank and cement factory oso there.. so lots of trucks..

For TMCR i feel safer as many lanes and the lane is wider. 

Seletar is crazily dusty with lots of debris on the roads at certain stretch, otherwise more ups and downs and curves, better training grounds than TMCR.

Rifle Range Rd is nice 

Inside NTU also quite a lot of climb.

So early already accident! Maybe lorry driver didn't even know that's a cycling lane for Sunday. It's not prominent.

Yesterday went for a ride along TCMR and had an unpleasant experience.

Those who frequent the Changi Beach area would know that the Changi Beach Carpark 6 has been used as launching ground for those glide para-sail kind of sport in recent years. The people would park their cars in the carpark and drag the gears into  the beach crossing the foot/cycling path.  Yesterday when cycle through the stretch, happened to have a angmo pulling his gear machiam a boat  along the track. As I whiz past him, some loose nylon strong from his boat got entangled and caught me by my neck. I was able to do emergency brake and fortunate to stop without injuries! The rope was not sharp but definintely tough enough to cause abrasion otherwise. I was nearly pulled down from my bike by my neck but lucky I was already slowing down. I was panting from my sprint and did not want to stop to scold so I just put in words to the effect that they better do proper lookout next time to prevent bad accidents from happening. But on hind sight, the reaction from the local companion of the angmo really left alot to be desired as he used very condescending attitude to react to my short outburst, humming yayayayayaya kind of words when I just asked the angmo to be more  careful. I would simply move on if the angmo had apologise graciously but it really left a sour note. But I am not pursuing this as I regard it as an one-off event.

But if happen to cycle near those boat or boat-like thingy over that stretch or anywhere along any beach, better slow down and get ready for any loose rope/string from the items.

No choice but to slow down and keep lookout when seeing things crossing. Continuing to sprint is dangerous. Even when I see anglers get too close, I get a little worried.

Our routine exercise, be it running or cycling, is just for general fitness not as a professional athlete, life and limb more important.

https://www.caas.gov.sg/public-passengers/aerial-activities/kitesurfing#:~:text=Kitesurfing should not be conducted,sea level in any other

If Changi Beach is 5km away from Changi airport then kite surfing is allowed without the need of permit.

But the whole TMCR is less than 1km away from Changi Airport.
