EVENT: THE COAST CYCLES X BIKEZILLA MASS RIDE

ENJOY A DAY OF SINGAPORE SINGLE TRACKS WITH THE NEW COAST CYCLES TRAIL BIKES

 

 

It's time for another Bikezilla Mass Ride! This round, we celebrate the joy of riding single tracks. And how do you do that? Ride those sweet single tracks of course! 

 

CELEBRATE SINGLE TRACKS

The fun thing about single tracks is that it is best accessed by hiking of cycling. And in our opinion, cycling is the better choice. (Ed: that's our personal opinions, we understand that not all would agree to this. Chill.) With a competent trail bike, you could enjoy an immersive experience in the heart of nature, letting it sweep pass you as you receive feedback from the ground via your wheels and shocks. You look further ahead and you see features which could provide you some fun and challenges. You cleared them – flared some styles along the way, and flowed on ahead in search for the next feature. All this while soaking in the surrounding – a place that gives you a grand sense of freedom and carefreeness. While we can do that with or without a kick-ass group ride, isn't it more fun when you can do that with a big group of friends once in a while? With additional perks like a demo day and some freebies and a chance to make even more new friends, the choice is quite obvious now, isn't it? Fun + Fun. Let's ride!

DEMO DAY FOR COAST CYCLES TRAIL BIKES

Our homegrown brand Coast Cycles launched 2 trail bikes recently. We had a great first impression ride with them and were pleasantly surprised with the experience. We will tell you more about the bikes later this week. Meantime, we invite you to experience the Coast Cyles Atom and Axis at Chestnut South MTB Trail and let us know how you find these bikes. Don't miss this demo day!

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Should a rider encounter technical difficulties, Bikezilla riders will try their best to help solve the problem. Problem solving is limited to whatever resources we have on site. In the case of a flat tyre, Bikezilla riders will give time for rider to change his/her own tyre tube(s). Those who do not know how to change a tyre's inner tube would be given on-site training, but participant(s) would be expected to change their own inner tube.
