Our Mission To become the biggest speciality directory of cycling related links on the internet. We also want to provide useful and value-added services to you, our users, that will keep you coming back to this website for more information. About BIKEsutra.com In accordance to out mission statement, BIKEsutra.com aims to be the web directory containing the most comprehensive links to all cycling related websites on the internet. We are adding new and newly found links constantly and hope to build up the biggest cycling web directory there is. Why should there be a website like this? As many already know, the internet is a massive and vast vehicle of information. Being as large as it is, it is often very difficult to find the correct links to the websites that you may want. by having all (or most) of the possible links on one website, it makes the time you spend on the net more efficient, since you are able to find most of what you want here, instead of having to trawl the net, so to speak. BIKEsutra catagorises the information and links in simple categories that people understand. These categories can be accessed with one click of the mouse, without having to sift deep into several levels of a website before finding the link that you are after. With our comprehensive internal search engine (powered by Atomz) and meta search engine to external sites, a simple search will help you find the information that you are looking for. Who runs BIKEsutra.com? I do. Yes, it is run by one person only, with my wife and son as the inspiration. It is out of my personal interest that I decided to setup a website like this. It is also that I wish to share the links and information that I have found on the internet with fellow cyclists out there that I continue to maintain this website. Do you have any sponsors for this website? No, none currently, all costs are borne out of my own pocket. However, it would be nice to have a sponsor or two. Who is the webmaster? I am. A little about myself. My name is Vernon and I live in Singapore. I started mountain biking around 1995 and have been a regular rider since. Actually I started cycling much earlier, around the age of 4, when I started out on my very first bike, a tricycle! I then progressed to a chopper (the one with the stick-shift type gears), then to a (very heavy) taiwan made racing bike. Throughout the years when I was studying in Australia, I did not own a bike cause cars were relatively cheap over there. It was only from 1995 onwards when I returned to Singapore did I purchase my first mountain bike, a Marin Rocky Ridge. In 1997, I upgraded to the full-suspension Joshua X0 by Gary Fisher. I have now sold the Joshua in favour of the 2001 GT Ruckus, which I try to ride every weekend....although my newborn and work take up most of my time, I will definitely try to squeeze in some time for mountain biking. Why the name BIKEsutra? I adapted the name from the very famous Karma Sutra. I feel that this name depicts a certain passion for cycling that only can be felt by those who really love the sport. This deeper passion often acts as a motivation for the continued participation in the sport, even though many of us are buys enough with our every day lives. Therefore, it is only fair that this passion be classified as something of an "art".....the art of the love of cycling. So if mountain biking be the food of love, ride on... Sponsors?
