Vices - Nice bikes!

Been thinking of getting a Bike...

Nope, not Motorbike... though of cos I wish lah! But a bicycle...
Cant decide on which type + got budget...

So I wrote down a list:

Reasons:
- Go market/sch/interchg
- Encourage Papa to cycle / exercise abit

Criteria:
- Must be able to lock outside the house, at public place without fear of it getting stolen
- Must be Light / compart, put basket (can put bag, marketing, Creamie +Nugget!)
- Must be cheap!

 Options:
- Cruiser
- Mountainbike
- Foldable Bike

Receed a few places.... Carrefour, my neighbourhood bicycle shops... etc....

Cruisers...
- Real vintage, old school kind...




I like this colour!


Thou this is my Original Idea... DIY Spray Shocking Pink + White
+ White Streamers by the handle bar!
COol!
* But then figured Papa will surely REFUSE to cycle the bike! Bo Bian, Idea Dropped!
This, my friend, is from GUCCI!
* Win already lor! Like that also can!



The original idea was to get a Cruiser with a basket... Imagine me cycling.... u know... like those jap women, wear the protective sleeves to protect their arms from UV rays... Wear a straw Hat.... wear a dress or long skirt... cycling... with their marketing in the basket....
So I asked my best friend google.com for such images so I can better illustrate to u...
 Key words: Jap Girls Cycling...

This was what they popped in my face!



WTF! Is that all they can come up with for "Jap Girls Cycling?"




After much searching....

This was wat I had in mind actually!

it's so small that it's so hard to find...haiz...

Something like that lah...
anyway, you get the picture right?!



But tough lah! I dun think I can carry off the image also! Faint!
The cheapest I can find for such bike (excluding if I buy spray paint to customise it myself - ok, no shocking pink)... $130. Bleah

+ Easy to lock (rear wheel comes with a lock too), has a Main stand so easy to park, easy to cycle (it's a CRUISER -duh!)
- Body very long, dun even think of bring it to ECP to cycle... cant put on Whalebone bike rack, Heavy.



Recently Ellen got a gift from her friends... a foldable bike like this!
3 Steps & it folds!
*Freaking expensive... $300 (an copy version that is made-in-where else but China)!




I personally prefer something like this...


Or simpler...



Damn cool... cheapest I found... $130... faint!
+ Small, can keep away if not cycling (or travelling on MRT)
- Difficult to lock cos mostly all "quick release" since it's foldable, a little harder to cycle cos the wheels are small & turning angles can be very sharp is not used to it.

Mountain bike needless to introduce.... but that's my last choice lah!
-------

Must recee more! Budget <$100 or even cheaper!!!! Need to cater for Spray paint!!!
Colour Choices:



Oh no, my vices are getting outta hand!
