Special Edition - When we heard about August, this month is associated with the National Day festive. Celebrating Singapore’s 56th birthday, Polygon Bikes and Rodalink Singapore released the all-time favorite Polygon Zeta 2 Singapore Special Edition on Friday (Aug 27).

Adventure Bike - Looking for bikes that are best in both worlds? You might be familiar with hybrid and gravel bikes.

Mountain Bike - MTB riding is the most different style of riding compared to road bike riding or city cycling. You need to go to the track that will provide a certain challenge to the bike. Bukit Timah and Chestnut are few of the best places for mountain biking in Singapore; the vast area and track allows the riders to explore and train their skills. It is also exciting to cycle with all the jumps and slopes that you might face. If you are looking to buy yourself a new mountain bike, we have some tips that might help you!

Mini Velo - It’s not a secret that a personal mobility device for Singaporean is preferable to be as compact as possible. In Singapore, we don’t have much space to keep a big device in our house and we also need to easily bring it around when we are not riding it. As cycling becomes more popular due to the current pandemic situation, more and more people tend to think that having a personal bicycle around is a good idea. Some choose a foldable bike because it's small but sometimes people don’t want to go so far as to open the foldable bike and set it up. The other obvious choice is of course a mini velo bike.

Buy Bicycle Lights - Great rides always come with great visibility along the way. If you can see the track properly, the experience will be more fun and also safe. During a night or evening ride, visibility can be very low and as a cyclist, you need the support of bicycle lights. The device can be for your eyes as well for other people on the road so they can see you clearly.

Bicycle Chain Lock - Imagine you ride your bike to a hawker near your place. You park your cycle nearby and you approach a vendor near the entrance. The aunty is really nice and you talk a little bit before you order your food. After you order and go back to wait for the food, you realise your bike is not there anymore. It’s gone in a minute that you take to talk to the aunty. It might be a fictional story, but it can happen to any cyclist in Singapore. Your bike can be gone if you leave it unsupervise.

Buy Bicycle Singapore - Everybody wants to use their bicycle right after they purchase it. If you buy a bicycle in Singapore where the trend is currently high, there are chances that you probably will be on queue and cannot get your bicycle right away from your favorite bicycle shop. Taking this into consideration, Rodalink came up with a way where you can get it faster; if you want to assemble the bike by yourself. Of course there is a risk that comes with assembling a bike by yourself. That's why Rodalink has a solution for you:

Bicycle Trainer - Well, here we go again. Due to the restriction announced recently, it seems like our riding time outside will be greatly reduced. This is for the best, as we need to be patient in order to make sure the number of covid cases is reduced. But, the new measurement doesn’t mean that we can’t have all the fun on our bicycle. Rodalink came up with something to make sure the restriction won’t stop you from doing the best on your exercise.
