Trolley racks are an indispensible part of every folding bike commuter’s arsenal. They save our arms from having to heave a foldie around (many of them weighing as much as a large bag of rice or more), allow us to ease our bikes through gantries and crowds, and perhaps most importantly, help disassociate our foldies from the recognisable image of a bicycle, allowing them to be rolled it into places where we would likely be yelled at for doing so.

The mo:Rack from :klappen, is a lithe, minimalistic trolley rack that features a swing-out trolley wheelbase. Thanks to William and Vincent, the inventors of the mo:Rack, I got a chance to take...

For the uninitiated, Yak Ru is among one of the toughest mountain biking stage races in the world. It covers a distance of 240km and reaches an altitude of 5,416 meters in just 5 cycling days. It is held around Annapurna mountain range in Nepal.

A Nepalese by descent, Sunil has actually been living in Singapore for over a decade. But that has not stifled his passion for extreme mountain biking overseas, especially in his homeland of Nepal.

The Merida Big.Seven 300 was Togopart’s first experience with an entry-level 650B wheeled bike, and I came away pretty impressed.

The Big.Seven 300 is a S$910 entry-level bike that’s full of surprises. Taking the bike off-road, I was immediately surprised by its confident handling and playful ride nature. Mountain bikers who found 29ers slow to accelerate and hard to throw around, wi...

We spoke with Clifford Lee, one of the main driving force behind the Epic Ride series before he and a small group of riders embarked on a 1000km charity ride for the Kidney Dialysis Foundation.


Can you please share with us more about the KDF Epic Ride?

In 2012 a group of cyclists, led by me rode from Singapore to Malacca, a distance of 500km, and raised S$18,000 for charity. The success of this ride inspired these enthusiastic cyclists to pursue and expand their hobby to not only engage fellow cyclists, but also at the same time continue to raise funds for the less fortunate in our community.

In 2013, with the goal of raising funds for a nurs...
