and me cycled to work today. We planned to cycle to
punggol beach after work to check out the area.
So we cycled, and then suddenly his bicycle's left crank came off!! Damn funny. And to think that it's a new bike! He just bought it a few days ago. So we had to head down to Rivervale plaza to get to a bike shop to help fix it. He had to get a new better crank to be fixed to his bike. Cost? 25 SGD. sheesh.
Anyway, we pumped our tyres and carried on to punggol beach.
We came to a road leading directly to the beach. The whole road was lined with the greenest green trees all the way. Unbelievable. It was beautiful. We reached the jetty, and parked our bike there. We were damn tired. There were 2 uphill slopes we had to endure before reaching the beach.
It was serene. Peaceful. No crowds. Excelent. We should have brought sandwiches and field chairs.
We rested a bit till the sun almost sets, and then we made our way back.
I really enjoyed the cycling. We felt that we should do this twice a week, to destress and get our minds off work.
