It is different now, time have changed us, indeed time have really changed us. I still remember the time when bicycles were our popular rides for youngsters of our time. We rode all over the town and left our marks between Pujut/Krokop and Luak Bay! We went to school on bicycles, picnics on bicycles, the cheap morning shows (it costed us 50/180/360 sens! for a ticket), joyrides with friends (chasing buses!), enjoying reading comics at Kok Boon's place and most of all visitings friends during festivals like Gawai, Christmas, Chinese New Year and days like now Rayas. Handphones were nothing that we can imagine of then. So the planning and meeting point must be finalized, days ahead. Normally I remember we have to wait at friends' place before we moved in group. Those left behind would tracked us from the houses that we have visited!
You don't imagine seeing that now. You may see your childrens' friends but on motorbikes and cars for those over 16th (last year this year! It will be minimum 21 next year). But those in the primaries and lower secondaries may choose to go with parents to go visiting ( it is cooler in cars anyway....)
Yes, I missed those bicycles rumbling years, come rains or shines, in all festivals and occasions, bicycles was the instrustment to bond all of us then, making us once a great team in our time....
