Ladies & Gentlemen,

If you:
- Don't mind having extra cash in your pocket
- Have a good command in English
- Are able to do good research
- Are able to write excitingly
- Are dedicated and commited
- Are proud of your own work
- Don't mind having a fussy me bugging you

Then I need you to do some data reseach and writing for me! Must be original content. Willing to pay about S$3/- to S$5/- per page. At least 50 pages. Must work closely with me. Contents will be discussed further.

Interested?
Either PM me, MSN/Skype me at truss91@hotmail.com or e-mail me at adrianteng@sportsbilt.com

TOPIC FOR THIS BOOK WILL BE ON CYCLING.

unfortunately, i dont have patience.

articles are one thing, but a book? thats a totally different story.

:lol: No worries.

BTW, I might be using some of the photos that you guys uploaded on this forum.

So... when my book is finally finished, please dun be surprised if you see your own pic in the book! Of course, sgcycling will definitely be mentioned in the book.

For those who do not want their pic to be circulated around the world (I hope), please inform me.

I look forward to reading your book Adrian. I must say that it is a very noble thing to do as no one has even contemplated writing a book about the cycling scene in Singapore. I cannot write for the life of me but if you need pictures about some early riding scenes and such, I will try my best to help

Thanks Alano, you are giving me pressure. I hope my book turns out as well or even better than you expected...

Ladies & Gentlemen,

I have already chosen my ghost writer. Thank you all for your support.

However, I am requesting articles/inputs/pictures from you guys on the below topics:
- Parts and uses of a bicycle
- Different types of bicycle
- Accessories for cycling
- How to choose a bicycle that suits your needs
- Aerodynamics of cycling
- Most efficient way to cycle
- Maintanence of bicycle
- Cycling in Singapore
- Cycling tracks in SEA (possibly with map)
- Cycling clubs in SEA
- Exotic cycling in SEA (E.g. Rainforest Cycling...)

Please e-mail me the articles with your full name. I will select the articles and send it to my ghost writer. I will not be paying you but I will let you have a free copy of the book. Your name will also be indicated in the book.

So come, share with us and everyone else who is going to d/l the book your experiences.

I intend to print leaflets and bring it to Interbike 2007. Let the whole world know more about Singapore. :towelcheer:

i think u can google some of the topics.. lots infos... or go national library or kinokuniya or borders and see quite a lot cycling books which cover ur topics...

if clubs in singapore,i think u may have to get permission from them b4 u can publish abt them.. i doubt cycleworx will let u use their name easily though...

anyway,it seems that u're just making use of people do all the work for u while u just go publish and sell the book?? (doubt will earn much though) correct me if i am wrong..

the ghost write supposed do research on his own and get paid so measly? research takes days and may need do interviews and stuffs and get paid 3-5 bucks per page og abt 50 pages? which calculated 120-150 the most? unless that person is very passionate abt cycling and willing to contribute so much of his time and effort,i doubt many people are interested in this project..

anyway to write this kind of book need to have ample cycling experience and know the community well and have passion for cycling!!!

I think "making use" is a bit strong a word to use. I do not think Adrian is going to take advantage of us. It sure ain't easy writing a book. Look at the big picture. A book about cycling in Singapore. Think of how marvelous that will be :lol: :clap:

Thanks for your query.

it is a noble effort and i respect it..

will try to give u an article on chopper/cruiser bikes in SG if u interested..other than that..i can't really help with other disciplines of cycling..

sounds good.. but i dun really think angmoh will be interested to cycle in sg.. our trails and road and hills are nothing compared to wad they have though...

but i believe the book will be really great helps to newbies who are interested to pick up cycling...

Am3thyst, sure. you can send me an article on it.

Hi Adrian,

Jolie here. I've been out of action from cycling and sgcycling for a while, but logged in today after aeons and chanced upon your thread.

Do you have an editor for your project yet?
If no, may I offer my help -- my contribution to developing cycling in Singapore :)

My background:
I used to be a reporter, then an editor for newspaper.
But most important, cycling is one of my 3 passions in life :rock:
And I've been in your shop a few times, but not sure if met you.
Mostly dealt with the older man: Is that you or your father? My memory slips me...would you mind refreshing me on the name?

Thanks much.

If you'd like to take up my free offer, you can send me a PM.
I'll check it over next 3 days (Seldom surf anymore lah :) Not that I stuck up okie)

Aside: Hi there to all who know me and reading this. I haven't crashed out of action, just busy with work lah. yaya I know, no excuse :rolleyes:

welcome bak :towelcheer:

Mr.Father is Bernard, always get a great deal from him.
Adrian is the young boss :lol: , you've dealt with him at least once, I believe.
