Hello everyone and it’s been a busy day so far. Have a few moments to enter a blog entry but judging on today’s opening, the Dragon year is foreboding well and everyone is keen to get fit, get exercise and stay healthy!
On behalf of the team, we thank you for your continued support and a healthy Dragon year for everyone afterall health is wealth!
PS: we revamped our blog page and so will have changing pictures and a more modern look.
.
We have received numerous calls and thanks for the support during our break. We will be back tomorrow proper to attend to your cycling needs.
It has been a great break and we are all recharged, re-energised and stocked well.
WE WILL OPEN EARLY! 11am the MBS team will be there for you!
Dear all,
My Bike Shop
will be CLOSED from 23 Jan Monday – 26 Jan Thursday and will resume normal operating hours from 27 Jan Fri 12 noon.
We take this opportunity to wish our Chinese friends – Gong xi fa cai!
As it is a long break and you might be planning to cycle from 25 Jan onwards, please get your spares or that folding bike by this Saturday 21 Jan 2012.
WordPress gave us Bloggers at WordPress a chance to take up a challenge – we signed up for the a Blog entry a week and tried hard to post articles and interesting information that would find traction within our readership and world of foldies. WE DID IT!
This is the 170th post and as we wind down the year and reflect what we have achieved and also continued to serve our many customers, we try hard to say what makes our day. Guess what？ – Smiles!
Smiles when the customer picks the right folding bike, smiles when they get set up well and that first ride on the road gives you that second to none feeling of freedom and exceeding perinuem comfort, smiles when we tried to fix that problem that noone wanted to fix, smiles when we help you start (or restart) your cycling careers, smiles when we know we get a compliment (or even frowns from underserved customers on long busy days) from you all.
Of course we have had our fair shares of sadness from losing friends from errant drivers, loss of friends and loved ones to illness and the loss of people we cherish when they move away or move on unexpectedly. We know we cannot please everyone but we will certainly try.
For 2012, and time to make resolutions, 
Team My Bike Shop will endeavor to keep getting these smiles. Will say this for sure – We will not turn noone away and we always try our best!
Have a blessed Christmas and a Happy 2012 New Year!
We have heard so many stories about the sights and fun in cycling tours. Siem Reap and a visit to the Angkor Wat, Trekking in Taiwan
, Tonkin Alps in Vietnam, Bali beach combing, Hua Hin Spa getaway, Kunming etc
A few of us may want to do a series of these trips when a long weekend is around the corner and perhaps do it in a different way.
I know so many Internet tips and links but if you have done it before and want to share, please send us your stories via email checkmybikehop@gmail.com and we will post extract of the stories in this blog entry.
So put your tips, best deals, food places that “die die must try” rating to us.

My Bike Shop has a large clientele of people from all walks of life and we have a few patrons who have always been there with us and often gives us very sound suggestions and feedback. We like to feature one that touched our hearts yesterday. As some of you would have met him when he is at the shop or seen him lead the way in raising funds with the HP Alumni for the needy ( ST Pocket Fund for 2011, 2010 and 2009), Japan Earthquake disaster fund and more recently a gala diner that raised money again for charity). Han even sang (LoL) – he always have time for the less priviledged.
Yesterday despite his busy schedule and knowing our long hours at My Bike Shop for the last few days that sometimes means a few of us miss our lunch, he popped by to say hi and dropped off fried fritters for us! You can imagine how welcome 
that was! Not to forget Donald aka Number 1 (for his desserts Ching Chow and Green bean soup) and many others who bring coffee and specialties from different corners of Singapore, we salute you all!
As the leading folding bike establishment in Singapore and a service culture carved into our nature from day 1, we have been working hard to help folks understand the considerations, pitfalls and benefits of owning a folding bike. It’s our 6th year and what better way than to launch an exciting new brand – Tern.
Many friends and visitors come and always extend their appreciation and thanks ( and we occasionally get the brickbats from just difficult customers but we always retain a smile).
If you are trying to look for us in the evenings, look out for our banner for My Bike Shop and My Bike Shop too!
My Bike Shop
have always had a good share of celebs and famous figures; Mr Brown (father of blog and podcast) , Mindee Ong (TCS actress of 881 fame) , Sheila Sim (Singapore’s top model) and even a Presidential candidate (Dr Tan Cheng Bock). We are really honoured to be able to serve you!
A few interesting things to note though, we have Schwalbe
which is a german word for a “Swallow”, Flamingobikes and coming soon “Tern”
which is a small Artic bird. My Bike Shop seems to have many brands linked to birds. Birds of a feather flock together?
Today we had the pleasure to serve our very own home grown singer that has got international standing. On behalf of the team, we thank you for your patience and gracing your presence. She now has a personally set up Dahon Vector X10 and she rides fast! Sorry folks, no pictures or celeb pictures you typically find at seafood restaurants 
. We just want them to be relaxed at My Bike Shop！
This is the symbol of the celeb who grace our shop today – trust me she is really nice ( and so were her friends and hubby)
Make a guess?
