- While the pandemic-driven cycling frenzy in Singapore has largely subsided, passion for the sport remains strong among a smaller subset of avid cyclists
- They are often seen on high-end bikes that can retail for five-figure sums and decked out in cycling apparel that can cost over S$1,000
- Social media and the advent of “cycling influencers” have fed into the subculture of high-end bikes here
- Besides health benefits of cycling, the opportunity to network with well-heeled professionals and be seen in exclusive groups adds to the subculture’s appeal to some
- However enthusiasts are quick to stress that the activity is very much open to all, and that they are a welcoming community, flashy gears and get-up notwithstanding
