Sting got his nickname after we noticed that he would only wear yellow jerseys to ride. He looked like a bee so Sting it was. Sting himself never knew the origin of his name until now. He has termed his current job as ‘Educational Technologist.’ But if he weren’t doing this, he would be a cycling bum.

Although most of us don’t think of Sting as a new cyclist, he’s only been doing this for a year. He hasn’t had time to buy many bikes. He currently rides a Litespeed Vortex. One bike for one year, not bad wouldn’t you say? And his dream bike, is the bike that he is currently riding. Oh well maybe it will change with time. Dream mountain bike, he doesn’t get on the trail so he hasn’t got one…yet. The rest of TA is still working on him.

It comes as no surprise that since Energizer brought him to the ride that he is the one that most influenced him to ride.

Working in the educational line has led Sting to pass on the best advice he has received on riding to all those who will listen which was, ‘How to Suck Wheel.’

His best cycling moment was completing a 1000+km bike journey down the East Coast of Malaysia. Worst cycling moment was much closer to home: The Gap Tooth incident.

Best bike related purchase was the Bike Itself. But along with that was the worst bike related purchase : buying The Bike from that bike shop in Geylang.

His best non-bike related purchase was accident insurance. (Purchased after the Gap accident? Hmm…)
