What an excellent idea! Would love to make another video next year, given I lost most of my Ipoh to MN video clips 2 years ago. I will post further details in the new year 2025.

Hello. Yes am in Brighton. You are a decade ahead of me. Mr. Saw Thian Bee was the Headmaster at MPS then. Never heard of Mr. Hook, but Mr. Hazzelgrave was "chief" at Perak Hydro at the time, I was about 10 but he left soon after. I made a video of Malim Nawar and there were a few comments from folks who used to live and worked in Perak Hyrdo, you might know some of them. It's amazing how so many have found the Malim Nawar episode which I was not planning to release, thinking who would want to watch a video of Malim Nawar. Feel free to email me. Take care.😀

Wow, you have been around. I am younger than you :) I wish you good health and look after yourself. Thanks for watching.

You might be my first South American viewer. Thanks for watching. I wish you good health, keep on cycling.

You mean in Singapore?

Hi it's called Zefal Dooback 2 from Amazon, for about £11. This one I find fits Brompton and most of the clones out there really well, I have fitted it to a Pike and its fine, but you need to secure it using, in my case a tape of some sort, I used handle tape which is flexible enough, to keep the mirror steady, otherwise it moves around too mucn. www.amazon.co.uk/Zefal-Unisexs-Dooback-Mirror-Universal/dp/B076DD2F9P/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2VHM0JW851QC6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mYuAsipVwJRMMKuT7zv2dsIHzLU_Dynz0cR7Jp7zx8tb8yohHEXAAv4wUHo8JO3WBLSKmckxunF7lEiFBYBNT_ro9QzYWfui6YNk8YQe2WuYMYQ3kbR_ybCOT79pniyP8HMxIYORTR2MImRgpnY3ttZzTKWNmopDzAWUOcu6lxywajQcPM1_gJp8Uk8SU7tv907M2cFPl4Lce4Ck6zesEw.hDcg8FTBYZhgVUiLd-xTwlnjZXlla2gCkaA6u_Nh3Dg&dib_tag=se&keywords=zefal+bicycle+rear+view+mirror&qid=1725372996&sprefix=bicycle+zefal+mirror%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-6

@@ODOB thx

I know, we were busy chatting not realising my satnav with a planned route, got confused about which direction I am going and the sat nav kicked in and tried to re-route us using "quickest route", hence the confusion "merry go round" around Punggol. Dang, I miss the Sembawang Hot Springs, but I did enjoyed the event nonetheless, "I did it my way" :) I typically don't plan too much, just leave things as is, there are pros and cons. It was interesting to find that there is a railway corridor from north to south of Singapore, that would be a great one day adventure (maybe next time). Thanks for watching 🙂

Hi yes, I did receive your message, the email you sent it exactly the same message I see here in the comments section, so all I see is: "Hi did you receive my email" Am I suppose to see a longer message?

ha ha I just remembered it being yummy 🤣🤣🤣

If you mean the hotel room? Yes, I pushed the bike right in front of the concierge, they didn't seem to mind. I didn't get any weird look or anything. I have done this on all my trips, in UK, in Malaysia and in Singapore (at least not yet). I can't imagine why not, if need be, I guess I could always fold it up and stick the bike into a Dimpla bag from Ikea. Besides it was never an option to leave the bike unguarded. There was one incident in KL, where they don't allow bikes to be pushed on their marbled floor, so they gave me a trolley instead which is fine, I could have folded the bike and rely on the rack trolley too.

We were there for a month actually, with the fam. I set aside 3 days for the Round Island but only needed 2. The rest of trip was spent with fs&fs. Royale, Mobot, Pike, 3Sixty are all good clones (it seems the orginal Brompton steel IP design had expired, hence the clone jobs). I have ridden both Pike and 3Sixty, pretty much the same, quality wise is not quite Brompton (obviously) but very close, with quality parts too. It seemed a very popular alternative in SEA. Overall, very good value considering these clones are less than half the price of the originals. Would love to hear of your experience. Have fun!

Frankly, I was going to give up on retrieving the camera as we were already half a mile away, but my cousin insist that we should try, given all the hard work and all the video clips stored on the camera :) You are right crime rate is very low in Spore, thank goodness for that. Just imagine had it been anywhere else, the chances are pretty slim. Thanks for watching.

Cheers Miriam, good to hear from you. It's been a while since I last go on youtube, good to see you're still plodding on for the cycling community.

Cheers bud!

Hello bud, good to know you're still on this channel! Yes the Singapore Round Island was uploaded last night. The adventure took place 9 and 10 of July this year, but only just found time to edit the footage. Enjoy! PS: Hope you're keeping well 😁

Thanks for the tip!

Yep, I remembered that "chimney", shame I forgot to visit it.

HI Nicholas Tan, how are you. Yes I thought I already replied. You dad can write me at odob2021@gmail (dot com). We'll talk some more in private! Does your dad know me by name?

It is actually a very small town but is full of fond memories for those who once lived there. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

Hi you should be able to email me, it's in the about section. I was in MPS school standard 6 (12 yrs) in 1980 is your dad older than me or younger than me?

your dad can write me odob2021@gmail (dot.com).

@@ODOB just did,!

Hello kawan! Sudah lama tak jumpa. Yes I remember you, your sister (I don't remember her name) is a friend of my cousin Tein. I don't remember Ah Ku, I remember Man Sen, I remember the friend from Chee Kee, I don't remember his name though, nor Chee Chong nor Datuk? I remember Let Chi your little brother, you have another younger bro, I dont' remember his name. I passed by your parents' house in old town MN when I returned in Nov 2022. How did you find this channel? Are you still in Malaysia? Good to hear from you. Look after yourself.

Next one will be Round Island Singapore 2024

You are so kind. Nothing warms me more than to see my little videos of small towns and places get some attention. Many people often visits the big cities and they need no further intros, but these little gems offer something I never used to appreciate, the kindness of local people no matter who you are, curiosity of local people when they see strangers in town, but more importantly, for me at least it is the local food which did it for me.

Aiya missed opportunity, kalau tidak aku belanja teh tarik :). Putrajaya is big, I wasn't sure where I was going. Anyway good to know. Warmest regards to all at home. Thanks for watching bro.

Assallamualaikum, kau dalam class sama saya kah? My memory is so bad now I don't actually remember who you are :) tapi I am happy you found this channel.

@@ODOB Ya ... semasa di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Malim Nawar. Semoga Encik Looi Chin Hin sihat sejahtera dan dipermudahkan apa juga urusan.

sama sama :) @@MOHAMADKHAIRBINOMARKPKM

Glad it was helpful!

...soooon. I am planning a local trip from Hastings to Rye soon. Weather is getting warm now, so it's high time to bring out the bike...may be a warm up cycle to worthing first. Watch this space :)

@@ODOB I look forward to it, please video. I'm back on my bike as well. My cheap mountain bike has some issues, I think with a creaking bottom bracket, but it's really not worth fixing so I am looking more towards the Brompton. Got a back pack that I hope fits, as well as two mini-panniers recommended by this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmO6h36iZrt6ntU (but I've not tried them on yet to test heel strike)

@@wayneriley7557 Isn't it amazing, how different people have come up with different ideas for rear bag/s, this is one I haven't seen before. On my travels, I have found that it becomes challenging once you have more than 2 bags, say when you are boarding the bus, or the train, I will sling the rear ruck sack (my preferred choice) over my shoulders, right hand carrying or pushing the bike, whilst left hand carrying the C bag. So far that worked for me...but always good see other systems. Cheers.

@@ODOB The small panniers arrived, and I tested one out this morning - no heel strike at all (I am 6ft, but only 10.5 size shoe). I have more trouble with my shoe getting stuck in the rack wheel. Now, just have to lose about 20kg from my own weight before I can add any gear to the bike as I am already at the official weight limit :(

Dah lama tak pakai nama Eddie. What a surprise, you still recognised me! Did you stumble onto this video by chance? BTW I made a video of MN too, with old photos of kindergarten days. You might like it. Assuming you still remember MN. Regards to Tini, how time flies by. I am glad you found this channel. Till next time, take care.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

I have not stuck to it, although it is very solid, but I have returned to using the wooden dowel technique as it is much much lighter. In my case, it is a sawn off aluminium tube 22.5 diameter x about a foot long, thread it through a piece of old cycle tubing (for cushioning and to avoid metal on metal rub), and then thread it under the Brooks B17 saddle and simply used reusable zip ties to strap the aluminium dowle in place, works a treat. The hollow aluminium tube is useful for storing spare zip ties too. I have used this method for more than a year now, and it is pretty solid. I wanted to use easily available / replaceable parts.

Wouldn't surprise me, after all i was a very small township. I left for Ipoh in 1986/7.

1985 I was in form 5, we might have bumped into each other, MN is a very small town but I have very fond memories of my childhood there. Thanks for watching.

Wow, that's cool. Did you bump into me? Are you a local back for holiday? Thanks for dropping by.
