Singapore 2017

Back to this much neglected blog...

Well I don't have anything particularly profound or ground breaking to share. The world seems to be moving along quite happily without transitioning to renewable energy or awakening to the virtues of pedal powered transport.... Well as far as Australia is concerned anyway.

However I was recently in Singapore, where, although there appears to be a similar decline in the use of bicycles as a serious transport option, they do at least have some remnant machines worth taking a few photos of. 

So basically here is a collection of photos I took of remnant rickshaws and utility tricycles I happened to see while I was there.

Service trike. There are several around town they collect rubbish

Cargo Trike - Old but still being used by a gleaner collecting recyclable bottles

Rickshaw - On display at the food court near the monorail station to Sentosa Island

Extra long cargo trike - Huge potential as a hearse @ Sentosa Island

Uncles Trishaws in Little India

Cargo Trike - Not sure what it's being used for, possibly a vendor

Uncle's Trishaw - parked



Trishaw parking bay

Utility Trike - fairly new looking in good condition





Tricycle rubbish collector

Ice cream Bike

OK it's not a bike it's a Trike. Cargo Bike.
Not sure what the quality of the machine is like yet and I may be in for some disappointment but I've decided to take a plunge and put myself in debt for the sake of following a dream... of sorts... Well actually this wasn't really 'The Dream' but a bit of a patchwork of various dreams, or frankly, schemes I'd had in the distant past. Chance threw something my way, I'm not sure it was a great deal but I couldn't bear the thought if balking at yet another opportunity so I decided to jump in! (Like the frogs on the rock who decided to jump into the pond, I haven't actually jumped yet)

Introducing ICE CREAM BIKE!

Special project x

Project in process... Stay tuned for more.
