Sometime back in late August, I mentioned I'll be sharing with you the stuff I bought from Ah Boy Bike Shop over at Kelantan Lane. Well, it was supposed to be the following post, but I kinda procrastinated and had trouble finding a camera to take the pictures. On top of that, photoshopping them and cropping it to make it look presentable. hehehe. My apologies.
And so I went to Ah Boy Bike Shop on a rainy day...

HOW TO GET TO AH BOY BIKE SHOP
The red star represents Ah Boy Bike Shop and its kinda hard to miss. Just look out for the small police post or the multi-storey carpark and you won't miss it. There are several other bike shops around the area too! If you are going by public transport, I'd suggest you take a train to Bugis and walk. It'll take about 10minutes to get there.
They're not like the typical shop where you'll be greeted and ask you if you need anything. Rather, they're too busy tending to calls, old time customers and the like. I was kinda hesitant to buy considering their poor customer relation skills.
But all turned well when I approached one of their staff and he helped me out by choosing a raincoat that suits my budget. One thing I learned was to state your budget clearly to them so they can recommend you something. Everything in the shop is kept in storage and if you fancy something, they'll get you a new one from deep inside the chambers.
Turns out, they're a friendly bunch. Like there is a brotherhood feeling going on as bikers. heheh. Helmets are displayed prominently at the store front, so it was kinda easy. Just pick one, ask for the price, and pay.
My raincoat was priced at $40, and helmet, at $75. Somehow, after much haggling and negotiation, I got both at $90. I'm not sure if that was a steal, but it seems like a fair price to me. And after riding in the rain for countless of times, I think I need a mini-raincoat for my shoes too!
