Simply fantastic riding from Singapore to Malaysia

[@shekariob]

I am very motivated. If I get a cycle in Malaysia, I will ride to Singapore sure. I am a Senior Citizen. I have done cycling from Manali to Leh, in India,

[@jojoanggono3229]

Nice ride. Wearing arm sleeve is IQ 200 move 😊 I learn that from others in my ride group. Now I often wear long sleeve summer jersey since I mostly ride fondo in tropical weather, and most of them are grey, white, or light colour.

[@Marco.cycles]

I don't usually wear it because my rides end way before 12pm. Only during this trip I expected it to last till quite late!

Watching your vid make me miss cycling to malaysia, the up hills to desaru is crazy too if one of these days you guys decided to try to cycle to desaru

[@Marco.cycles]

I do have a vid on desaru!! It was actually my first vid in Malaysia, it’s still on my channel feel free to check it out!

March - May is the heat wave season in most part of main land Asia, it's 37°C in Malaysia, 45°C in Thailand & Vietnam, 50°C in Myanmar & India.. make sure to keep hydrated and avoid wearing black

[@Marco.cycles]

Wait wait wait.... 50 in Myanmar????? I'm already dying with 36° in SG

Hey Marco, just wondering how your new Parcours wheelset compares to your previous Hyper wheels? Any difference? Which in your opinion is better?

[@Marco.cycles]

Hey! Personally I feel Parcours is better for my riding style! 1. Parcours is 49/54mm VS Hyper 65/65 So it feels easier to control in crosswinds (not much diff in normal winds but when the gusts comes you can reel the diff) 2. Parcours accelerates alot easier so it works very well for Singapore's traffic lights 3. Parcours are HEAVIER than hypers. 49/54 Parcours : 1.6kg 65/65 Hypers : 1.6kg

@@Marco.cycles Thanks a lot!

[@Marco.cycles]

@@aweshappyman hope I helped in your decision on which to buy😂😂

[@Snailchesster]

Is that the 100% lavender HiPER glasses? Does it shield well in such hot weather? Any glare?

[@Marco.cycles]

It's the Tokyo Nights Edition! But it's similar to the lavender one. It's very clear in the sun, with no glare. But still quite bright since the light transmission is very high. If you are looking for one that blocks off more light & sun, can check out lenses with lower %👍

[@Snailchesster]

@@Marco.cycles Cool. Thanks for the tip!
