The gentleman’s ride has arrived

I don’t care what my friends say. Most of all, I don’t care what Tan Yew Leong thinks.

I wanted a bicycle.

Not one of those featherlight plastic contraptions with 21 gears that go nowhere.

I wanted a bicycle with a left brake for quick stop, and a right one for slow stop.

Not those power pump brakes that throw you into the nearest monsoon drain.

I wanted a bicycle that does not make me stoop forever over a sausage-length handle bar.

So here it is….all I wanted for Deepavali has arrived in time for Vaisakhi.

A Made in China, Classic “male” Golden Lion 26” wheel single-speed brand new bicycle.
