Cycling to Work in Singapore

Category : cycling

Ilsa Sharp wrote of Francis Chu (or Chu Wa as we know him):

"Francis Chu is a cycling evangelist. His decision to abandon his car and to cycle to work is based on his thorough research into the pros and cons. He offers some convincing arguments on how cycling in Singapore makes practical sense, even within the hard-nosed frame of reference used by many transport planners."

Chu Wa certainly is the poster boy for cycling to work in Singapore. He's not advocating any fancy bike though; a foldable bike is all he (and his family) uses and the bonus is its allowed on the MRT.

Read the feature about him from the new LTA book, "The Journey", written by Ilsa Sharp. Posted with permission in Cycling in Singapore, another blog by Habitatnews.
