I want to buy a bicycle which I just want to use for transportation, like riding around the country. It has to be geared as sometimes I need to go from toa payoh to AMK quickly. (For school) For this purpose, what types of wheels and other things must I take note of?
your height? how long your leg ? bike inches?? wat type bike? alot type wat cannot change gear doesnt mean slow bmx can be fast ( im a bmx rider) =) haha so hmm u wan just to ride? get some mtb anything ask me =)

Why not some specialised bike shop? There are two in toa payoh central and I was thinking about buying from there.

yes it can be faster but u will be like a bull riding it.. where i can relax and ride at the same speed as u!
speciallised shop -more ex cos better quailty=) lol if u budget u can get watever bike la u like which type? can jump here jump there or u wan smooth
gear changer is helpful, but no need for those with too many speeds, you end up getting tired shifting them or you actually never get a chance to use the extreme high and low gears.
yea bmx rider they concentrate more on stunts tats y the seat low which make riding harder.. you wan fast and smooth choose mtb! =)
