Cocopops
got his name coz’ he works as a machine operator in a choc
factory. (well sort of, if you
consider being a machine operator means running the choc factory).
But his thinks his real calling in life is to be the chief prison
warden of a women’s-only penitentiary.
Coco
has been riding for 3 years and has owned a bunch of bikes like a
Motioncraft Chopper, OlmoRacer, Specialized Hard Rock and Kona Kilauea.
After getting rid of all of these, he settled on a
Cannondale MTB Tandem, Giant TCR-2 and a Bastardized Litespeed OBED.
Although
Coco insists that the person that most influenced him to ride (and spend
money on bikes) is Elvis, Elvis denies it.
Unlike most of us, Coco thinks that he has already achieved bicycle
nirvana as he has his dream road bike (the Giant TCR-2). His dream
mountain bike is Litespeed Ti full suspension.
Working
with food, his best riding advice received is “eh, wear underarm
deodorant!” Full of wisdom, his best piece of advice is to follow the
imaginary down line, although he confesses that he still cannot imagine
the line!
Best
cycling moment was finishing a mtb race despite a bloodied arm. (No
pix folks sorry). His worse cycling
moment came along Lornie road one long night ride, left behind by
still-strong riders at the 80km mark. (he’s
talking about the rest of us!)
His
best bike related purchase is his super-duper floor pump with twin heads!
no more fumbling with o-rings! His worst bike related purchase was a
blinking CATEYE light that blinked bright in the shop, not when he took it
on the 1st ride.
His best non-bike related purchase is his fridge, with auto ice-maker,
crusher, dispenser...
And here is something quite un-Singaporean his worst non-bike related
purchase is an insurance policy.
