OCBC Cycle: Heart attack survivor aims to complete 42km after cycling 'saved' him

SINGAPORE - When avid cyclist Jason Tay felt weaker during one of his regular cycling trips in January, he stopped after 30 minutes but brushed it off as he had undergone an electrocardiogram test just a month earlier and the reading was normal.

"He said the cycling probably made my heart strong and helped me survive. So in a sense, cycling really saved me." "It was hard on me. I was told to do light walking but I also did indoor cycling once a week and I found that my strength recovered much faster."Next month, he will further challenge himself when he attempts to complete 42km in two sessions in the OCBC Cycle 2020's The Sportive Virtual Ride.

"Cycling used to just be about exploring Singapore. But after that, in my 30s and 40s, I was under tremendous work stress and I realised that cycling helps me de-stress.His journey with cycling started in his teens when he cycled to buy groceries for his mother twice or thrice a week.

Been there, done that. Cycling certainly saved my life, wouldn't have known anything was awry if I hadn't gone for an evening ride

Do not encourage people to cycle on pedestrian walkway. Already enough injured pedestrians.
