10/16/2017 0 Comments Why Bike in SingaporeThere are a lot of things to love about the lion city, Singapore. The happiest theme parks, the most modern museums and galleries, the cosmopolitan night life, the food and culture—name it, and Singapore has it! What you don’t know though is that Singapore is one of the biking havens in Asia. “Cycling in Singapore is perfect for nature lovers and this 12km route is no different. Starting at Choa Chu Kang Park, keep an eye out for Pacific Swallows and the White-Bellied Sea Eagle and even two butterfly gardens and be careful of the uneven terrain as you get into Zhenghua Park.The route takes you through Dairy Farm Nature Park and past the Singapore Quarry where there are photo-ops a-plenty with the wetland’s cliffs overlooking a peaceful lake. Your final destination is the 36-hectare Bukit Batok Nature Park to see the famous orchid garden as well as a touching WWII memorial,” wrote an unnamed writer of the article Top 10 Places to Cycle in Singapore for the site firststopsingapore.com. Another good biking spot according to the same article is the Northern Eastern Riverine Loop, “Cycling in Singapore should be a mix of exercise, stunning scenery, undulating terrain and great pit stops and this 26km trail ticks every box. Starting at Punggol Park’s reservoirs and coastline, you take in wetlands, riverside paths and some of eastern Singapore’s most amazing scenery. If you go at night, the Punggol Promenade Riverside Walk is lit up with fibre-optic lights and is a sight to see and if you’re there super-early in the morning, the sunrise from Sunrise Bridge in Punggol Waterway Park is one of the very best in all of Singapore. There are cafés and restaurants along the way for refuelling but as always, remember to take water and sunscreen.” Chelsea, who would often go for a one-hour bike rental in Singapore every Saturday morning, shared why she was hooked into biking, “I love just being in the moment, and biking is one of those activities that just let you seize the day. With all the tensions and strains I experience at work on weekdays, it helps that I have a way to just de-stress and focus on something that I love to do. I want to regain what is innately me, to just be a child again. And you know how city life can be so draining. I also get a good cardio by biking. I also do some physical activity like running, but I specially love to bike because I love there is one thing that I can control for once.”
The family of Janine also loves to go to the park and would often go for some affordable bicycle rental in Singapore as this is their bonding activity, “My kids love to bike. The laughter and joy they have every single time they bike is truly priceless. We do this every weekend because we love being outdoors to get some healthy Vitamin D from the sun for a while. Biking is also one thing that my husband and I used to do when we were still dating. So, it is really something that has a sentimental value to me and my family.”
