Tell your CDO that you are trimming your figure for her sake. Problem is the nice stretch of road is Changi Coastal Rd and you need a roof rack to bring your bike there! A popular and good brand is Thule. How much, I dunno! Edited July 5, 2002 by Mikeckchong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much, I dunno! talk about it, my doc (annual full body checkup) just recommended me to swim or cycle as a alternative to jogging (due to my hip problem)...THIS IS REAL So bicycle is a good idea... Yeap! love the Thule, especially the storage capsule that look like a small boat... but I think it will cost a bomb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie July 5, 2002 Share July 5, 2002 Anyway I got the quote from a Thule booth at the motorshow 4-5years back, perhaps now more affordable! Do note that a roof rack will reduce fuel economy due to drag so if U heading NS highway remove the rack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lester Neutral Newbie July 6, 2002 Share July 6, 2002 Hi Cos X Remember my roof rack, it's from Pro RV. But it's second hand. If you do go down to look for one. Look for Kiang and say Lester sent you. You should get a better rate. If yoru car has got roof rails, all you need are roof rack and the bicycle rack or the roof basket like mine. Thule is good but pricey. You can rely on RV INNO from Jpn. Not bad and very steady. I tried to transport a sofa on mine once from Bishan to Clementi. Worked fine.

Lester Neutral Newbie July 7, 2002 Share July 7, 2002 I watched the Dog Soldier. Lame show but if you wanna grip the end of the cinema seats for bout 1 hr (that's roughly how long the suspense lased), then you can watch it. Was Minority Report good?
