I want to ride my bicycle

When he visited Singapore, my brother asked, why don’t I have a bicycle? The short of it is, I’m too lazy to lug it up and down the apartment complex.

But Singapore is, at least, a cycling-friendly city. Even if a pedestrian can get run over by two cyclists coming from opposite directions on the sidewalk, where you WALK. The city does have bicycle lanes and parking thingies where you can chain your bike outside MRT stations. Sadly, we don’t have a bicycle sharing system.

So, imagine my delight when I saw those yellow two-wheelers in Milan. Suddenly, bikes were everywhere, without obnoxious, inconsiderate cyclists (After all, if you’re fostering a cycling culture, you must have some form of cycling etiquette, right?). I couldn’t stop taking pictures of bikes, and they turned out better than my pictures of buildings! Here are my three favorite shots:
