For the past several weeks, partly influenced by mrbrown, partly due to me getting worried over my weight gain, and also the fact that my knees continue to give me so many problems, I have been thinking of getting a bicycle.
For starters, I was thinking of getting a foldable bicycle. The advantages are obvious. I can bring the foldable bicycle and take a bus or a train to somewhere, two places that I have in mind are Lim Chu Kang area and Sentosa, and then if I am feeling tired, I can always take a bus or a train home with the bicycle. With the Land Transport Authority finally approving the Foldable Bicycle Scheme allowing foldable bicycles to be taken on the trains and buses, this sounds like a good plan.
Now once I get used to the foldable bicycle, my next purchase might be a mountain bike. One that can allow me to travel longer distance at a faster speed.
The benefits are there. Besides losing weight and keeping fit, I can do something for the environment.
This is really very tempting.
