Reckless Cyclist

Same here, only on cycling tracks or PCN. On pavements I go slow and give way to pedestrians.
Unlike some cyclist who demand their right of way on the road. Only to be flattened by a bigger vehicle. Pesky motorcyclist who lane split and squeeze get what they deserve. 

If I ride on pavement, I seldom ring my bell on my foldie, just follow behind pedestrian walking pace..... Overtake only when it's clear. 

It's a good way to train my slow speed handling skills.

My foldie is flat pedal.

Only roadie is clipless pedal.

Sometime the unclipping is fast enough, but it's the foot landing on slippery surface that causes the slip.... almost like doing split with bike in between.😅

Only a good rider can handle SPD on pavement.

Weekdays, start at 4.30am and reach home by 6.30am (40-50+km). Weekends, start at 5am and reach home latest by 9.30am. (90km & above)

Let me guess, rolling speed..Above 35-45kmh fast. Above 45kmh fastest. Below 30kmh slow. in between 30-35kmh Avg bah. 

Turtle slow.... someone in this forum mentioned he did 60km/h.... he mentioned faster than my car on a 40km/h road.

@jcmm 60kmh is possible but draft motorcycle loh. Some riding clubs training does this along TMCR. Also depends on rider stamina to hold the speed and cadence. Going down slope from Mandai Ave towards Sembawang road or Bartley road east viaduct towards airport road, also can 60kmh. But you need guts and trust to do this.

Don't act stupid lah

There is a difference in average speed and max speed.

At least some people don't curse other to die.

If you have lousy character, don't come here and act noble lah.

@Atonchia Yes, avg speed (total distance and time taken), rolling speed (on the move) and max speed (recorded at the end of the ride) are all different scenarios and condition.

Yesterday Paris-Nice Stage 2

Average speed for the paleton is 47km/h for 163.7km.

@inlinesix The watts needed to produced by the leader of the peloton is speechless. Interesting technique, tactics and timing.

Just saw Pogacar Strava.  He burns 2,322 calories yesterday.

@inlinesix @inlinesix @inlinesix  The way they burned their calories is....OMG.

TDF 23 days, 3200+km with 4,500m in avg, 300 watts (daily avg) and only 2-3 rest days during the tour ....OMG. Pro means pro.

Top Gear did a public safety video to keep cyclist safe.

Maybe some people need to be told common sense things like:

"No drafting" 

"Do not speed across pedestrian crossing" 

"Avoid road side drain gratings" 

"Do not insist on training in heavy peak periods" 

"Use cycling lane when available" 

"Your leotard is not ironman suit"
