Cycling in Singapore...

is not so fun only because the city dislikes bicycles.  my friend and i have found it incredibly difficult to find a place to lock our bikes and on top of that, everyone here tells us that our bikes will be stolen if we ever park it outside.  i got so scared that i ordered a kryptonite lock from the states that just arrived and weighs more than my bicycle.  fun stuff, seriously.  overall, it's still super cool (super) to ride around the city as an alternative mode of transportation - i mean, walking can only be so fun, right?!

i might not look like it in the photo below but i had a super crappy day from being yelled at by different people b/c of where i tried to parked my bike (chained to a pole on a sidewalk).  i almost thought they and i saw very different things, of course one of us was being delusional - what i saw was a compact bicycle and what they saw was an 18 wheeler trying to park in the middle of the road.  these days, if i'm lucky i can lock my bike up to a tree since i've yet to meet the tree's owner. 

in other news... life is good.  rami (owner of the white bicycle and college buddy from brandeis days, how random, right) and i will attempt at 6am ride around the city this weekend.  college 2.0.
