Singapore: world renowned for being a tiny country, extremely clean, and the home of crazy rich Asians. While I found these things to be true in my short 1 week trip there, these traits and more lend themselves to making Singapore a home of great fixed gear cycling. Here are 10 Perks of Fixed Gear Riding in Singapore.

Haha I rode by a raccoone dead the other day was terrifying cuz you don’t know if it’s dead

I love that you tell us viewers to stop watching and go out and ride. When I’m being super lazy it really gets me motivated to get my ass off the couch! Zach, you have really pushed me to do a lot more than I used to. I switched to fixed because of you and I’ve pedaled my 300 pound ass a few hundred miles in the past few months all thanks to your motivation.

Crucial Matt keep up the good work bro
keep it up my dude!
Lol why put a signature if it's the same as your username?
Braŭljo because I changed my username after I did the reply
Thanks for featuring me and Ascent Bikes in the video! Definitely glad that you enjoyed your stay here in Singapore, and hope to see you again soon.
Malaysian fixed gear scene is boring hahaha I went to kl and ride with the fixie goons there and visit liberty bikes it was boring hahahaha
Great to have you back. Was just in Sac your old stomping grounds. Posting some vids from that trip soon.
would love to you see you ride some sscx, Russ haha!
@@bopis123 Ha. Did some tours on fixed back in 2008. Steamroller with deep Vs.
Hey man, just sending out positive vibes! I have been loving you videos for while now and just wanted to say thanks my dude. Kero having fun on your travels
Zach is back! Damn been waiting for a minute brother glad you're well! 👍
Nice to see you back Zach, and Wallace looks nice with those drops
I really love this video so much, please come back to SG Zach!
Great breakdown on the city's bikability. Very helpful!
Not malaysian people just malay. Malaysians are the citizens of malaysia regardless of race. Malays are a race group in singapore. Love the video! Im from Singapore and trying to get a bike to strengthen my legs because of knee pains, and your videos provide a good perspective.
I have never been to Singapore it sound a great place to visit with or without my bike
Definitely only to visit or to live for max 3-4 years lol
Prepare loads of money, it can get pretty expensive here!
@@khaitee3161 Chances are you also earn a shit load if you're an expat in Singapore.
Shout out to Zach. Another great vid. Salamat!!
It's Chinese, Malay and Indian, not Malaysian. 😂 6:45
Malay is a race/ethnicity, Malaysian is a nationality. What we have are malay Singaporeans. (Yes we do have malaysians too but when talking about singaporean demographic you're referring to Singaporean malays not malaysians.)
Yes yes thank you
What's the difference between a Malay Singaporean and an Indonesian Singaporean
Danish Wistara malay is an ethnicity, indonesian is a citizenship. there are no indonesian singaporeans, only indonesians living in singapore.
The Wabi sounds great but I’ve got a Lynsky titanium frame and I think it combines all the best qualities of steel and carbon fiber.
Im glad I ride a fixie , as an old codger , best of all good fun
Wow Zach love your vids so inspiring
10:55 u mean YPS
hahah true true
Critical Pass111 IRK AHAHA
Hi Zach, would you mind writing the names of the 3 shops you visited? I couldn't understand the name of the last one you mentioned and i tried something similar sounding "kodomiko".
kuromori bike co
You should come back to the us and give your opinions about Chicago, mainly because there are alot of fixed gear riders that have nothing but a love for riding and literally are fans of you
I run @chicagofixed on IG and I agree.
what bike is that with the enve bars? def not the wabi
edit: nvm got to that part of the video. safe travels my dude!
you are 1 inch from Malaysian Fixed Gear comunity.
Singapore looks well good :)
What a nice experience! looking forward to go to singapore
yep it not the best fixed gear friendly city anymore :(
Khai here, glad you had a good time here. Hit me up if you do come back and need to loan a bike again!
That community is way to large hahah cool. Im done hanging out with that much, I like riding alone now and hanging out with just the bike alone more. Comes with age I guess..
Make him visit philippines so he will meet jempoy hahaha
@@danieljan9316 If he reaches out when He visits Manila. I'll do my best to tour him.
@@FJ-xz7yy sama ako bro hahaha

Ave Maldea!! I want a custom Ave Maldea fixed gear and can’t figure out how to get started. A Reasonably Dangerous video on Ave Maldea would be amazing!!
Does someone know the Fixie Brand Airwalk?

Hey Zach; I just hit Powerball. Let those guys in that hard to find bike store you spoke of previously, know that I'm ready to make a cash offer on their entire inventory. Thanks in advance :)
Zach, whats your opinion on intro 7 bikes
Patrick is good
Patrick for dying
dang what an awesome trip
I'm legitimately getting jealous of those Singaporian fixed gear communities and people ovet there after watching this video.
It's so unfortunate that Fixed gear communities over here in Korea aren't that enthusiastic, pure nor honest(In my opinion) as how they like over Singapore, Malaysia or even in Japan.
But nevertheless, I hope you have plan to visit Korea as well in the future, Zach!
@@lingyanglim4706 Hmm, I guess what I meant was that, some of them rides fixed gears(or just bicycles in general) only to show off and 'Flex', not focusing on actual cycling activities(Ride em, Fix em, Hang out with em), which makes me genuinely sad and wonder how the hell did cycling scene become like this in Korea
If you do return. Join the folks for fast Fridays at Lau Pa Sat. Notorious spot for fixed gear riders. Though the police tend to come here and there. But,
Stills a fun spot to hang out.
But brakeless bikes in singapore is now banned.☹️
can you host a mass ride when you come to singapore again
Even with the recent ban on brakeless fixed,I really hope that he returns here
Its not banned yet, its just going to be banned in the future
@@muhdshuhairi609 Pardon my blunder.
The end of brakeless fixed here is near in any case.
Laa datang kl tak roger bang
Come to Jakarta, maybe?
Can u come back to singapore
69.420 fixie points
Zach, please stop smirking every time you mention roadies, and have respect for all types of bike riders. Other than that, great video!
Random question: I don't want to assume your Italian or German just because your last name is Gallardo. So what is your heritage?
Clearly Filipino
German, really!?!
🤦🏽♂️
you need to ride in malaysia sometimes 😄
Make more videos like these! awesome guide! Shut out to my boy Lufi from insta bruh!

Siao eh faster i wannnnn watch 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"There were just _so many_ people that I just ended up giving everybody 69.420 Fixie Points."
Zach, you really need to be careful about awarding FP willy-nilly like that or you're going to upset the market.
2:12
U ah?

Abit coz the peaple there smoke but I still buy from them there is were all the fixie goons go so yea

He gets paid to say what he does.

Hell yeah! Manila's traffic is a different beast!
So late

RIP me I very tall
Malay* not Malaysian oof
I like how they call us malays malaysian, 😂 i guess thats ok.
Malay* not Malaysian,, it's 2 different things dude
Disadvantages of fixed gear riding in a country with a lot of slopes
Crashing into kids every half an hour or so
Crashing into motorbikes
Almost crashing into a pile of garbage
Not being able to walk normally for a week
Steep slopes too heavy too climb
Lesson of the day (That all happened in a day)
Get brakes, have a better gear ratio, don't be too brave
thats a lot of malfunctioning male body organs in a single vid
Oh god u should call me out in Singapore as I can show u almost anywhere u wanna ride too
seeing this again in 2024, fixed gear community is dying 😖
Tf why so long..
Keep it Chill bro. Covered in first minute. It’s all G.
Was a little apprehensive when buying this with the few negative reviews on here, but this was exactly the kind of bike I was looking for. czcams.com/users/postUgkxn_jUDSlprMIeubd9rHdEAnv59nKfjcKv I plan to ride it on paved roadways and trails, and wanted a "Grocery Getter" so to speak. After receiving it (without any damage), I had it out of the box, and fully assembled in about 30 minutes. I did not have to look at the manual, and I'm glad because I did look at it after I got it together, and it looks like it's a manual for several different styles. I did have to adjust the breaks and gear shifters, but that's been my experience with every bike I've owned. There was one review in particular that made me nervous, saying it was not meant for someone 6'4", it was too short. Well I'm 6'5" (230lbs) with a 36" inseam, and can tell you this bike fits perfectly, granted the seat is in it's highest safe position. I've only had it for 3 days so far, and if things change I will update my review, but I put 26 miles on it so far, and it rides like a dream. Very comfortable seating position. The front suspension is good for the occasional rock or bump you hit on asphalt, but this bike is not made to be taken off road, and I'm OK with that. I was particularly happy to see the wheels were trued perfectly. I was expecting to have to take them in and have them trued at a local bike shop, as I've had to do with all my past bike purchases, but in this case they were already in great shape. For the money, this is an awesome bike.
