If you’ve never been to the Singapore Sports Hub Shimano Cycling World, it’s really worth a visit. Some really cool displays on the evolution of bikes. Too bad there wasn’t any vintage cruisers on display. 😛

Cruiser bikes are an iconic bike type that has been around for years, and made a valiant comeback in the 90s. Find out all you need to know.

Glad the physical copies of our latest SpokesPeople issue were safely delivered to our dear friends TRM Convertible Tanks in Tennessee! Thanks for the shout out.

It's been such a joy getting to know Founder of TRM, Jim Henderson. He's a true artist who's dedicated to perfecting his craft. What an inspiration! 😍

Meet Daniel – owner of the Epic bike shop in Nashville, Tennessee. Other than his love for motorising vintage bikes and adding power to them, Daniel has a big and giving heart who loves adding power to people by blessing them with free bikes! 😍

At frst glance, one would not associate the face of this cherubic-looking young man with that of a vintage pasttime. Daniel Mosser, and all 47 years of his existence, is not your typical vintage guy. He is, in fact, the founder and owner of a vintage bike shop; and an Epic Bike Shop too while at it.

Meet Clint, an avid collector. In his years of cruiser collecting, he has amassed a neat fleet of rare bikes in his stash. But even so, according to him, there's something even more satisfying than these. Want to find out what it is? Read on!

Ask any collector what they consider to be the holy grail of vintage cruisers, and I can assure you the list will include a Monark, Schwinn Phantom, a J.C. Higgins, or an Elgin, to name a few. These are the bikes that set bike forums and cruiser groups ablaze whenever they’re showcased. And needle...

The world of custom bikes is stacked with myriads of bespoke bicycles known as rat rods – each as unique and different from the other. No two are quite alike and everything relies entirely on the imagination and creativity of its maker.

SpokesPeople had the privilege of interviewing one such custom bike-maker, known as The Renaissance Manufacturing Co., or TRM Convertible Tanks in short. Here’s a behind-the-scenes conversation with Jim Henderson, founder and brains behind the eye-catching, head-turning TRM bike models.

Get-A-Grip Bicycle Show in Cleaveland, Tennessee is an annual event organised by 3 brothers, with lots of beautiful bikes and even more heart behind it. Proceeds from the event go towards a charitable cause to help fight cancer and support those battling cancer. 💜🙌

When in America, do as the Americans do. And what do Americans do? More specifcally, what do cruiser folks in America do? They bike and they do bike shows and swap meets! Well, at least that’s what I’d do.

Bike restoration can be a tedious and tricky process. Not knowing what products to use, or worse still, using the wrong stuff, can damage the paintwork or patina on our bikes. From amateurs to masters, restoring bikes is something that can be enjoyed by every bike lover. SpokesPeople asked our readers if they had any swear-by products and bike resto tips, and here are some they gave.

People often ask me why cruisers and not some other more popular bike genre like road bikes and foldies. I guess I'm not very politically-correct nor one for popular culture. 😉

You'd probably have seen him cruising down the streets of Singapore at some point. Next time, give a holler and call out, "Uncle Shawn!" He'll definitely give you a wide smile and say "hi" back to you (if his music is not blasting too loud!).
