Ah yes, people commenting how much Singapore is a facist/police state. Can’t have nice thing, eh?
When i went to Singapore people told me how bad it is and you’re not even allowed to throw trash on the street and might get to jail for spitting your chewing gum on the street. Sooooo, you’re saying I’m perfectly fine in that nice city then?
If your motivation of traveling is to litter, than it’s best that you fuck off and stay home.
I mean your examples are trashy things to do in the first place. If you’re traveling to other countries and your main fear is “am I allowed to litter here” then it’s best you stay home.
Singapore has a lot of intense laws, and they enforce everything fairly strictly. That being said, almost every country has littering laws, just because they’re not enforced doesn’t mean you should litter.
genuinely curious here: are you saying that we should just ignore that part because people can leave expensive bikes unattended?
Speaking of not having a nice thing…
Possession or consumption [of cannabis] can result in a maximum of 10 years in prison, with a possible fine of $20,000, as well as caning, under the Misuse of Drugs Act. Trafficking, import or export of more than 500 grams may result in the death penalty.
As we say her in the USA, let the punishment fit the crime. There’s a Star Trek episode where Wesley gets sentenced to death for walking on the grass or something like that… Singapore is basically that.
Holy shit, a 15k bike?! It better be electric.
Not my kind of bike personally, but damn that looks nice 😍 the matt black one in the back looks hella stealthy too
How TF is that bike (or any) $15k?!? Does it come with a bike path concierge on every trip?
Was in a bike shop the other day and they were selling a wheel for €1.2k. Didn’t even come with the axle or the tyre
at that point it really just feels like being expensive for the sake of being expensive, so that rich twats can show off how rich they are
It’s more that you are seeing the f1 equivalent in bikes. They are redesigning these chasis, wheels, etc every year for competitive advantage. Add in all the customizations, being hand made, and using very expensive materials and you get very high prices. It’s easier to see the jump in cost because we can actually see those differences in price more readily from the $100 Wal-Mart bike to the 15k bike. How many times do you compare a basic econobox car to an F1 car? That would be insane, one is about utility the other is about pushing performance at all costs for competitive advantage.
I met a guy at a party who said he was into cycling. I told him I used to like cycling but my bike is so broken the repair tech said I should cut my losses and get a new one. He started giving me advice about what wheels and tires to put on my new bike. I asked him how much they would cost and he said they weren’t expensive - just about $1200 per wheel. Turns out this guy was significantly richer than me.
This must be one of those AI pictures
