There are 2 types of cyclists on the road. One is those who cycle to work to save cost, like foreign and local workers since transport cost in SG is so high. I usually give ways to them at cross-road junction. The other type is those who can afford expensive bikes to show off, or for...

The Nobel prize is becoming a joke. Obama got the peace award before he could even warm his seat.

The torch bearer just ran a short distance, then all of them up lorry and drive to the next destination and start the show again. If you are not at the "show place", then you can only see the lorry with many "runners" inside, with the torch I suppose.
