I am writing to express my wrath for bicycles that I have owned. Just yesterday my key could not unlock my bicycle lock after locking it for less than 10 minutes but that's just a tip of the iceberg.
Let's start with my first bicycle. My father bought for me my first bicycle. My brother borrowed it and parked it at Woodlands Badminton Hall complex to go swimming. He saw a group of people stealing my bicycle and reported it to the police. And then there was another case of me learning to ride a bicycle using my friend's bicycle. As I was cycling, another friend sprayed some party foam into my face and I fell because I was still learning. He did that to amuse himself. But there are a few times when having your own bicycle was fun such as having a BICYCLE RACE or cycling to other neighborhood nearby to play soccer. I also cycled to my secondary school almost everyday and sometimes I race with the bus. Some days I win, some days I lose.
Fast forward a few years, I bought a new bicycle. The model is GT Aggressor, I forgot which brand though. So my family migrated to Johor and I left my bicycle in Singapore. I used it several times in Singapore before forgetting where I parked my bicycle. Either that or somebody stole my bicycle. I used that bicycle to cycle to Republic Polytechnic before we migrated to Johor. Regardless, I made a police report.
After I finished National Service, I took my step-brother's bicycle which my brother took. The bicycle was parked at Ngee Ann Polytechnic and so I had to cycle from Ngee Ann Polytechnic to our new house at Outram Park. The brand is Raleigh which is a reputable brand however the back tyre keep having a puncture and I think I have replaced it at least 3 times. So I decided to sell that bicycle.
Next bicycle I bought was through Carousell and the owner brought down the wrong color so we had to meet the next day. The brand was Crolan and it cost me $159.I got in an accident with that bicycle. A van was stationary on a zebra crossing and I just zoomed past it however the driver did not see me. Luckily i went away scratch free but the bicycle's rear wheel needed a replacement. After cycling on it a few times after the accident, there was a problem with the left paddle and so had to replace that also. After replacing it, the bicycle repairmen said that i needed to replace a different thing or the paddle will coming loose. That replacement costs 1/3 of the bicycle price so it wasn't worth it.
I planned to move out of my family's home and rent my own place but the delivery guy made a stupid mistake. There wasn't any space for my bicycle to fit into his car, so I just left that bicycle under the block. After a few weeks, I came back and realize that the seat has been stolen. Once I have moved out, I bought another bicycle. The brand is Oaklan. I parked it under the block at different place but this time, the seat was stolen and there was a problem with the gears. So i got used to cycling without a seat because a seat cost 1/4 the price of the bicycle which isn't worth it. And then yesterday, my key couldn't unlock the bicycle lock. So now I don't plan to buy any new bicycles. I should just buy a motorcycle instead.
