Cyclists set for battle in epic round-the-world race
Bikeradar.com &bull Yesterday
Almost four years ago to the day, a Scottish adventurer was on the verge of shattering what was then a little known record - the fastest circumnavigation of the Earth by bicycle. Mark Beaumont's time of 194 days and 17 hours broke the previous benchmark by a whopping 82 days, setting a credible benchmark and dangling a carrot in front of motivated, endurance-hungry cyclists the world over. While his achievement was impressive, it was a record Beaumont himself reckoned could easily be topped.

Cycling in Singapore: An Uphill Battle? - Wall Street Journal (blog)
Google Cycling News &bull Feb 3, 2012
Travelers along roads in Singapore see luxury cars, pick-up trucks ferrying foreign workers alfresco between construction sites and dormitories, and containers being hauled to and from some of the world's busiest ports. Solid figures are hard to come by, but anecdotal evidence suggests that cycling doesn't seem to be gaining as much traction in Singapore (or other Southeast Asian metropolises, for that matter) as in other global cities.
