Elvira wants to try our bike because…
“I live in toa payoh and have an office there but am a freelancer and am mostly traveling round. Projects are mainly in the east at this moment”
Therefore she intended to combine JZ88 with MRT, Taxi or just ride all the way if weather and distance permit.
Apart from light weight and compact (within luggage limit of SMRT), she was attracted by the shopping trolley mode and really likes the theft-proof benefit.
When Elvira came over to collect the trial bike she told us that she lived in Holland for 12 years and just recently came back. Being exposed to how cycling can be part of everyday commute for most there, she feel strongly that she should be able to do so in Singapore. However, road safety has been a key concern here. Therefore when she read Francis’s blog post about cycling-to-work-in-Singapore (2004) she feel very strongly that commuting cycling can help her to keep fit and she should give our folding bike a try.
Elvira wanted to cycle back to Toa Payoh from Geylang East, which happen to be the same route as Francis took when he cycle to work. With a brief instruction she went off. 40 minutes late we got her SMS saying:
“I am back, thanks. I feel like flying!”.
