life after getting a bike, watz the diff?

[farish]

Upside: Girl pillions can hug you

 

Downside: Body smell of smoke from vehicles,perspire alot and get sticky at the end of the day.

 

i counter downside by keeping a can of deo spray in my bike

[endlessloop]

I become darker.

[U-Nic]

Not worrying about the weather when you go out.

true mate.

[CMYRS]

its the spirit that keeps u from exploring, not the mode of transport.

[plasticprison]

i think it made me a better driver.

[LeftCoast]

It made my hair shorter.... (haircut)

 

But seriously, it's definitely the everchanging landscape of public transportation that I've left behind...crowded buses, poor transport timings, expensive taxis. Oh and how can anyone ever forget the short hop to a 24-hour bar n grill with your biker friends...something a B.M.W.'er would instead have to end up at home late night watching boring TV shows.

Pros:

I can work after 12. No more midnight surcharge. Home to work in 20 mins, 15 if I ride like a maniac. Anytime anywhere.

 

Cons:

How it felt to fly like a G6 and the pain of it on my wallet. The pain of maintenance. Everyday cough due to smoke from other vehicles. I get lost often.

 

So rush hour job I ride public, see chiobus on MRT and squeeze with them, work at night I ride bike, open road and few cars so can ride fast2.

 

sure anot u wan squeeze with ppl on mrt

same here.... easier to style when i get to work or interviews....

 

took train last sunday with my girlfriend and hated having to cram in with 200 other ppl... but it sucks when you get caught in the rain when riding.... dangerous and you never realize how painful rain can be when it hits your body at 80km/h....

 

also now im super paranoid about parking in HDB car parks.... recently got a lot of SP kena stolen...

I got fatter.

I got lazier.

I go so much more cheapskate.

My metabolic rate went down like hell.

I barely exercised anymore.

Now like so fat my mum ask me to hit the gym again. Everyday nag at me. Sigh...

[Jehuty]

Being sleepy, drunk, high, stoned or just plain angry have alot more effect when riding compared to public transport.

All modes of private transport do that to you, it takes away most of the exercise laziporeans have.

 

Counter that by maintaining a physical physique so you can ride safely and handsomely. Face buang got full face, body buang cannot hide. Plus, handle bar cannot turn fully due to stomach.

 

Or you can ride athletically, shifting your body weight on a bike provides better control if done correctly, better fc and has a slimming effect!

freedom to go wherever you want..

[Jehuty]

I concur, raining still can ride, most of the time bopian.

 

Out of petrol is another issue

[Dafanshu]
