  • Hope you guys enjoy this one. It’s been 2 long years since the borders closed. In this episode, the OBC boys head across the border to Malaysia for our first overseas ride of the year. As it turns out, we have been spoilt by the tarmac at home. We find out what a proper weekend route should be like. Stay till the end to find out why tubeless is king. This shall be the beginning of many more overseas cycling adventures.
    Check out the route we did: / strava
    A special thanks to Vince, Julian and Mikey for making this video possible.

    Kulai, Pekan Nanas, JB coastal highway to Legoland are connected. You can try these loops. Also, I had the same problem with you, a stapler was struck on my GP5KSTR, the sealant only did a temporary job, another few more rides it'll just burst out again. My advice is to use a yellow/ black tyre patch and patch up the internal wall of the tyre. Don't use puncture plug/ bacon strip to fill the void. Cheers

  • @rishfernando1235
    @rishfernando1235 ปีที่แล้ว

    Would you say the road's in JB and Singapore are risky for solo cyclists? Love your video honestly and am watching it because I am hoping to do the same.

    • @thewinsty
      @thewinsty  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I think the roads are safe for solo cyclists. Group size only serves to increase visibility which can be improved with proper bike lights. I don't think accidents typically happen because drivers *didn't see* the cyclist, more likely driver was drunk (if it was a group, everyone would've equally been taken out together), or either driver/cyclist made an unexpected move related to impatience or recklessness. Therefore it is important to always ride defensively first and foremost .

    @changrenyong7616 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey there. I plan to ride across the causeway to Singapore in the middle of November for the first time. Is there a time of the day - on a Thursday - that has less traffic? I'll be starting my ride from Taman Sentosa and looking at your strava routes, looks like the Tebrau Highway is the way to go? When clearing the Malaysian passport control, do I join the motorcyclists? What about at the Singapore side? Thanks!

    • @thewinsty
      @thewinsty  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Perhaps you can consider leaving around 5am, early in the morning is when we normally cross the border. Both borders - you have to use the motorcycle lane (manual counter, not automated ones).

      Hi Frank, no need any permit just your passport and use motorcycle lane. Depends on what you mean by highway, people use the terms interchangeably so it can be misleading. Same as Singapore I don’t think you can go on expressway in Malaysia eg North South Highway. If you’re referring to “highway” like those with traffic lights eg Tebrau Highway, then yes allowed.
