    Can anyone suggest any nice place to go for cycling around Singapore?

    There are a reasonable number of cyclists in Singapore - not as many
    per capita as in most large cities, but they're there. There are some
    off-road trails (can't remember the name of the park, but it's a large
    - relative to the size of Singapore - nature preserve with trails.
    Nothing too technical (no real hills) but still better than not
    riding.

    The problem is that S'pore is a small island with a large population.
    They are trying to limit the number of cars on the road (through some
    fairly draconian taxation, but I suppose otherwise no one would be
    able to drive anywhere).

    But I'll rather be in love again

    I haven't looked at your website in a while. When did you move to
    Florida?

    Actually, the computer smashed ME this weekend (had to get a new
    machine to get back to a reasonable level of productivity - still
    going through the file transfer hell). But that's me on the left - a
    kinda old photo I'm afraid. I'm not really vain about getting older -
    just too lazy to put up a new one. Maybe I can find a good racing
    photo and replace that one...

    The "hands-on" portion of the business is still in Florida - I'm in
    Arizona (where the riding is MUCH better than Florida). The beauty of
    the way I set up the business is that I can do my part from virtually
    anywhere.

    You'll meet him soon enough, Maggie.

    There's a *tremendous* force that draws NY/NJ "people of a certain
    aga" down to South Florida, (and an equally *tremendous* force pulling
    MI/OH/IL/IN people down to West coast Florida)....

    Nice typo. Should read: "people of a certain age"

    Cof-fee . . . .

    That would be them.

    IIRC correctly, from my Fort Myers days, they were known variously as
    "frogheads" (this was the view of their small-statured driving
    position), "Q-tips," or "Cataracts in Cadillacs."

    My favorite bumper sticker from the day was, "When I get old, I'm
    gonna' move up North and drive *really slowly* in the left lane."

    Close second: "Some of us aren't *on* vacation."

    Ahhh, Florida....

    I dunno about that. My sister was from Chicago, same as me, and decided
    to retire in Az. She got tired of the wild weather, random
    thunderstorms, small but nasty tornadoes, and all that stuff that does
    happen if Florida. just at a warmer temperature. She now loves to
    explore and is on a road trip with a friend, but also loves air
    conditioning. She says 115 degrees F is not out of the ordinary, but she
    does try to get out and bike when it is cool enough. 6:00 A.M. maybe
    when it is a cool 80 degrees??
