NEWS: RICE RIDERS

We have heard of many stories where social groups and sport groups leverage on their strength in unity for the better of society. Salute to all these good efforts! One such efforts that caught our attention was the Foreknow Fat Bike Club’s recent event – Vesak Day Rice Donation. What started off as a simple charity plus ride event grew over its preparation period to a full-fledged event that surprised even their own club members.

Quiz Time! Our editor strongly believes that Type A personality folks are more likely to hang around longer (maybe even a lifetime) with an extreme or adventure sport of their choice.

CLUB: FOREKNOW FAT BIKE CLUB SINGAPORE

Fat bikes were once the FAD toy for every occasion – beachfront cruising, cafe crawls, off road trails, sandy stretches, post rain muddy fields. We are seeing fewer of them around lately.

RIDER: BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN STREET TRIALS AND MOUNTAIN BIKING

Bikezilla sought some advice from the man.

REBUILDING FOR THE RIDERS

While street riders are perfectly adept at living off street features, there would always be this longing for a “true home base”. A place for events, gatherings and regular practice sessions. Not all BMX riders are park riders, but it is always good practice to spend some time at the BMX park.

Sadly, this “home base” event ground was not in its best condition. “Let’s rebuild this BMX Park.”

RIDER: HAVE BIKE WILL TRAVEL

It was a weekday afternoon when I met Jefni. What got my attention was the sticker on his 12 year-old Diamond Back mountain bike. There was a sticker made up of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand country flags.

I was impressed.
