Bad shots are nothing compared to having 5 stitches on ur chin and bearing the excruciating pain whilst seeing ur blood drip like a leaky faucet. :D

Actually what I did was as follows..

1) I kept the camera facing sideway
2) As I cycle, I press down the shutter (burst mode)

Unfortunately it didn't give me the effect I wanted :dunno:

Haha, and lastly, I did fall once.. but that was when I was talking to an old friend from primary school (She was gorgeous nowadays haha...)

Oh dear.. that must have sucked.

I can do 1-hand cyling with my right hand, but not with my left. Strange, since I am left-hander..

=) skinnylatte : was the injuries very serious?

anyway if wanna take pictures, i've a way but it won't turn out perfectly fine. if you wanna take certain location shots, it's even harder.

answer : freehands off the handlebars.

have some practice and i've some very bad accidents myself as i'm a biker. some almost fatal anyway lol. good luck and protect the camera =x

Serious? Haha. It was OK. I had 4 stitches. However, from all the time between the crash (in Pulau Ubin) and going to the ER in NUH (very far away, but I wanted to go there coz my parents work there), I was semi conscious and almost delirious. For a few weeks after that I kept getting nightmares, and everytime I walked near a road I could "see" cars crashing into me. All very morbid stuff. Thankfully my friend kept her cool and got me out of pulau ubin and to a hospital far away in the west, all by herself.

Sandman77: Um yeah. kinda. I think I was using my Canon 350D at the point of the crash, though it might have been my rangefinder too. I don't remember anything since then.. hhaha.

Hi did that a couple of times, but only with a P&S, as easier to snatch a quick glance at the screen, looking through an eye-piece of an SLR I think is suicide.

Here is one I took while in Australia.

Be safe. :)

Haven't done that.

But I have cycled and eat a bag of chips, 3 pieces of KFC, a piece of banana cake, a bar of chocolate and drank a can of coke.

Must be very hungry. ;p
