Shikashima Lesuire Ride

A short round of riding to help break up the monotony of sightseeing. Nice bayside ride with a couple of simple cafes along the way. The bike rental was OK in price but it was surely worth the experience.

While I didn’t ave the chance to cycle round the entire route, I can certainly see why this would be a very enjoyable ride to experience if done in full.

 

Homebridge adventures

I’ve been playing with home bridge for a while as a way to bring to life the various IOT hacks i’ve been fooling around with. I’ve found it so far to be an excellent project and have since set it up to work with my Cubieboard, Particle IO, Yeelights, and Belkin devices. Other than just being able to turn on/off these items in software and SIRI, i also wanted to be able to automatically setup the room lights to match the daylight colour temperature outdoors as the day progresses. Otherwise, whats the purpose of getting lights that can support 16 million colours? Continue reading Homebridge adventures

Tokyo 3hr Bike Ride

Had some time, so i did a short bike tour when i was in Tokyo. A relaxing 3 hour ride in 20+ degrees. I must say that it was fun, safe and something i would recommend especially wifi you enjoy cycling. Granted that the other routes that are 6 hours long might offer a little more variety, but if you have just half a day, it is totally worth it.

Bike route, photos and some brochures that i picked up along the way below.

PCN connection from Buona Vista to Choa Chu Kang

Did a cruising ride with the intention of going  the distance, given the fact that i haven’t ridden for a while, i thought this would help to get my cadence for riding back up.

Somehow, i ended up simply trying to see how long i could go just going along the Park Connector Network starting from Buona Vista. I ended up in Choa Chu Kang and discovered a few parks around that area which was really nice. Took a ride down some routes that i have never ridden before too and ended up at 10-Mile Junction. I made a wrong turn at that point and didn’t manage to make it to ZhengHua Park. But taking on Bukit Timah slopes was something i haven’t done in a while too.

Anyhow, i’ll try to make it to ZhengHua next time. That should give a rather good 50km+ ride.
