QUOTE(Mac Wai @ Nov 27 2012, 11:05 PM) Buying a bicycle for commuting to LRT station daily, any bicycle will do as long as it is within your budget, especially if you are going to park it at your own risk. You need a sturdy lock and big chain to secured it from getting stolen. Still, there are chances that your baby will not be waiting for you when you come to fletch her on your return. seriously i dunno the market...is a bike RM300~RM500 consider exp?lol..We will never leave our bike unattended to, not even for a second esp. the expansive ones, as many will testify to it that it will dent our pockets. Our residential sifu here may recommends something for you. Cheers!   between..there is a parking space in the LRT station... just not sure whether it is safe or not |

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Nov 28 2012, 12:41 AM) it beats the sole purpose of foldie. apa punya policy laaaa http://www.myrapid.com.my/news-events/medi...r-free-campaignAdded on November 28, 2012, 12:41 am ergo 3. size 43. y? Khairani said: “We at Prasarana are all for efforts to promote programmes to encourage to have less cars in the city and reduce carbon emission; hence minimizing air pollution. One way is by encouraging more people in the city to cycle and use our LRT to commute,” said Khairani, adding that folding bikes are permitted to board the LRT. The current ruling, however, only allows owners of folding bikes to use the LRT outside the peak hours; from 9am to 4pm on working days; and after 7.30pm onwards. “The ruling is in the interest of the other commuters during the peak hours when the trains are packed. The sharp ends of the bike parts can cause injury to the other commuters in case the train makes emergency stops. We also don’t want the dirt on the tyres to smear on our other passengers. That’s why we have implemented the rules,” Khairani said, normal bicycles can be parked at the LRT stations at the bicycle racks. |
