However what intrigued me is not the car accident but the admirable Ang Mo (colloquial term for caucasian) carrying his CPU tower with 1 hand while riding a bicycle with other 1 hand on slick tires! He has another friend riding with him as escort. I saw them stopping at the cross junction near Ave 6 to rest his arms before moving on.
Whether the tower he's carrying is empty is unknown but i do admire his ability to pull off the feat. In s'pore i've yet to see any locals do such a means of transport. Part of the reason can be attributed to 'face' too as indicated in previous post 'Rich Son Poor Son'.
There is still the stigma of bicycle as a poor man's transport here in S'pore although cycling is increasingly popular as a sport.
