Riding in Singapore: Coast to Coast | Solo ride | Full pavements/PCN | 48KM version

[@rider2731]

Came here to see your bike but ended up looking at your smile. You have the sweetest smile in the world.

[@avchiang]

thanks very much! :D

[@Beast-kz4du]

I love Singapore Baby😍🇸🇬🇮🇩

[@avchiang]

beautiful garden city!

[@jeddavebang]

I somewhat did a shorter version of this as I was going from from North East to Botanic Gardens. Encountered the same issues with the map routing from Macritchie Reservoir to Botanic Gardens! Went along Lornie Highway to Adam Road, found that a bit more palatable.

[@avchiang]

hi5! yeah adam road's the way, can swing by the food centre to grab a bite for that long ride too!

[@boonkiatong6790]

Very adventurous of you to tackle such a challenging trail.

[@seanlee7670]

Nice! And so cool with different outfit in this video, you are like a model. Well done. Definitely a sense of achievement. 😅😅😅

[@avchiang]

Haha! For a change of mood and motivation. Thanks for watching!

[@trapwithintruth]

Wow, thanks for sharing ! Can’t wait to explore too

[@avchiang]

have fun exploring, getting lost may be part of the package :P

[@sgcb4530]

Hey!! Welcome to our estate!!!

[@avchiang]

west side (best side)? :P

[@mikedice69420]

Beautiful, the view is decent too..

[@avchiang]

Views are best at the gardens itself! Along the way, pavements not so :P

[@alvinkwek12]

Awesome video and comments along the way..

[@avchiang]

Thanks for appreciating! Heh

[@TravelwithYiew]

Hello! That’s a very nice video and congrats for completing the journey! :) looking forward to your next vlog! :)

[@avchiang]

that is awesomeee effort and perfect navigation skills!

must route carefully! don't end up like me :P

[@kwtnkk]

Hi there...from a fellow Camp Royale rider. Love the scenic views of parks. Love the unique "PARK" pronunciation too. :)

[@avchiang]

hello fellow royale rider! didn't realise it was unique :P

[@justeatPH]

alamak so long long ride!! missing Singapore. Love how nice their bike trails are. Ride safe Avalynn!

[@avchiang]

hope you had some nice virtual exploration here :D

[@clickandzoom2878]

NE’sider as well… planning to hike the same trail, starting from JE. Nice video!

[@avchiang]

wow awesome! have fun coming home :D

[@james77ling]

Thanks for sharing your ride. Nice smile!

[@avchiang]

thanks v much James!

[@kelana2825]

Was looking forward for solo ride from fernvale to bird park. Thanks to u now i know suitable route for it. Since i change my bike to foldie, im more to pcn n pavement as road doesnt goes well wif small rim n tyres. Thank u once again for the vid. N the rest of it. Totally awesome..!!! Ride safe ya..

[@avchiang]

thanks for watching! bird park would be an interesting route :D

[@lancetay9232]

The sengkang-punggol part is one of the nicest sections of c2c

[@avchiang]

the easiest part too i think! pretty confident of completing it next time :D

[@rainman_namniar]

Fellow NE resident Ahoy !!! Hope I bump into you in one of the riding route. Keeping riding your foldie and make more videos with it ! 四个字”坚持到底”…

[@avchiang]

Ado! Hahaha yes perseverance is key!

[@kevinlim7974]

Well done! Good video. Think your route deviates from the official one, especially around Bt Timah. Don't think it passes Holland V and Jelita. Haha! Agree with your assessment that it's pretty boring. Big hoohah about nothing, hehe.

[@avchiang]

Thanks v much! I wanted to go by the ‘official’ route and have more spontaneous detours, ended up a memorable ride

[@YaoboyProd2K15]

2:43 Reminiscing my Nitec memories here!

Nice. Have a safe ride

[@avchiang]

thank you, you ride safe too!

[@LailaSuyat1025]

Wow its very nice to bicycle here in Singapore, i just bike yesterday at the new place at Changi Bay Point but have heavy rain..enjoy and keep safe

[@avchiang]

Ahh yesterday was super rainy :( Changi bay point is really beautiful, can return another day. Vlog coming up soon!

[@chingcapul]

Awesome 😎.. congrats for completing the ride... Keep safe 👋🙋🙏

[@avchiang]

Thanks v much!

Have a safe ride sister. Keep on vlogging. Happy Sunday. Cheers!

[@avchiang]

thanks and ride safe, cheers!

[@Ammi1273]

inspired by your video, i tried the to do the similar but ended up at Windsor Nature park from Bishan park. Will try to follow your route.

[@avchiang]

I'd love to explore windsor park too! maybe next ride :)

[@affendiariffin8032]

Marvellous

[@keltai]

nice try, mayb i go have a try too.

[@avchiang]

ride safe!

[@garymoh4828]

Actually there is a Lornie Road PCN. Use the path on the left at the entrance of Marcritchie Reservoir, stay on the left & you will eventually reach an exit and on your right is the Lornie Road PCN. This video here from entrance of Marcritchie Reservoir(5:45) to that PCN(6:04): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eomckJupjc56o5o

[@avchiang]

so I've heard! good to know, I will not be trying again in the near future :P

[@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV]

Thanks for the commentary and sharing the experience 😁 Was thinking of trying this particular route but the construction in the middle section (AMK to Adam Road) is kind of making me think twice 😅

[@avchiang]

actually it's ok once you get past it! try it some day :)

[@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV]

@@avchiang Haha. I hope I don't regret it. I realise I got a upper limit of 20km before my legs start to give way. Let me go find a battery pack for my camera before trying this long journey. Thanks again Avalynn 🙏😊

[@alvinkwek12]

I hate this stretch, and also from the start of Bukit timah road to to Hwa Chong Institute.

[@cyclingadventure9]

You were at Macritchie but my guess is you crossed over to follow the traffic? You should not have to but just continue where you will reach the lornie PCN. When you reached the dead end its actually ok to go by the road because Lornie road is very quiet now since they built the highway. You can go back to the pavement once you come out of the tunnel.

[@avchiang]

yeah quite a few riders have informed me about this. Great for others to note, thank you for the detailed info :)

[@MingF3ng]

Preparing for RI 💪🏻

[@avchiang]

Full PCN/pavement RI?

Thank you, you too :)

[@rahimfrick7835]

So sweet Best cycling

[@avchiang]

Thanks for dropping by!

[@xjp]

Should avoid Marymount Road. Consider riding along the AMKB park and Upper Thomson to macritchie instead.

[@avchiang]

thanks for the tip! :)

[@jusjusrunsworld]

Great attempt! But this route definitely not easy to run or cycle especially the Bukit timah stretch.

[@avchiang]

thank you! looks like you're speaking from experience :P

[@jusjusrunsworld]

@@avchiang haha yeah I ran the route 1 yr ago! 37km. But the bukit timah stretch was bad. Too much traffic lights.

Nice video…keep posting new videos for us so we can try out new routes :)

sure thing, don't want yall to get lost too :P

[@wanhandbergmozin3655]

Amazing ride... unfamiliar places especially the route map I always lost track end up long distance route. I put the blame on the Google map 🤣

Hi Avalon love your videos, I’m Australian looking forward to cycling Singapore. I have only done East Coast Parkway to back of Changi Airport.. hope 2022 I will return to peddle Singapore ….thanks Paul

[@avchiang]

nice! lots of lovely park connectors with well-built paths for cyclists here, hope you get to try them out in a bit!

[@Nerdxvana]

should use Komoot for cycling routes!

[@avchiang]

ahh thank you, will go explore :)

[@nanjiang406]

I always go cycling along the way from the east coast to marina bay at night . After watching your video, I am admiring your braveness to dare to explore the ways by yourself. Although It is the wrong navigation given by google maps,you could keep calm by yourself, Need to learn from you, can't wait to try it by myself.

[@avchiang]

i love solo rides! started off with ECP to MBS too, slowly venturing to places I've never been. Do your research and go in the day just in case you need some help along the way! Yeah staying calm after entering bukit brown was... much needed. the cool drink at starbucks helped haha

[@QuizzTwist]

As long as you go out in the morning. Everything is fine, good to be lost

[@tantuanweikelvin8936]

At the path where you were pushing your bike, you were supposed to be on the other side. If you are on the correct side, the one at the carpark entrance of the MacRitchie Reservoir, there will be no dead end but you will be able to smoothly transit to lornie pcn.

[@avchiang]

thanks for sharing! will be super useful for those trying this out :D

[@MarkPanado]

Nice!

[@avchiang]

Thanks Mark!

My wife and myself got into the Bukit brown cemetery at about 1am while cycling from Jurong to downtown east.. haha! We end up at the same dead end as you along the expressway. And we quickly make a u turn back to the private estate area.. haha!

[@avchiang]

So I’m not the only one! Luckily you had each other for company, 1am at Bukit brown is 🙂 amazing journey to downtown east!!

I took my bic up that little path at jln jelita from rail corridor today as well, quite challenging 😂. And yes I know of shiokness drinking down a bottle of 100 plus towards the end of my ride. Where did you park your bic at holland v?

[@shwetankarya9991]

Interested to see the part when you climb fob near bukit brown

[@shwetankarya9991]

🤣🤣 so you were lost.

[@shwetankarya9991]

Adam road food center... a good place near botonic gardens. You went to holland v.

[@shwetankarya9991]

You are cute but cycling(exploring) is not your cup of tea. Great effort anyway.

[@avchiang]

Yeah adam road's the way to go!

[@yx8214]

Great video. So there isn’t really a direct bicycle path then. Seems pretty hard to navigate especially from Bishan park onwards.

[@avchiang]

Yeah I find that it is hard on pavements esp from macritchie onwards, may be bad routing on my end too haha

[@yx8214]

@@avchiang well at least you get to explore. A bonus. I will try the other route you did earlier to Marina Bay. That seems more straight forward and direct. 😀

[@bobble4646]

Hi hi! Really love your vlog...!!! What do u use to take your video??? Really nice! Also how do u feel abt ur foldie??

[@avchiang]

Hello! I use the insta360 go2, details in description. Loving my foldie!!!

[@thegoodpigparadise8038]

Nice video! But how do you vlog the whole trip with insta360 go2. Wont it overheat? Because planning to either get go2 go one x2.

[@avchiang]

Thanks for dropping by :) I only turn my Go 2 on when I need to shoot, in short snippets so it’s ok!

[@zekkkim2335]

Google map is not so accurate, it seem like to suggest hard route, e.g. dead end, skip avaiable PCN. Do you have good apps for routes, e.g. paid strava?

[@avchiang]

Nope! I still intend to have spontaneous parts haha deviation can be fun (and tiring)

[@kelvinyongxin]

Wow. You cycle long journey. By the way what camera u using

[@avchiang]

Insta360 go2;)

[@PedalsPawsSG]

Is it easy to cycle c2c with pet trailer? We want to take our dog along. We want to stay in footpath and pcn only.

[@avchiang]

Hello! some paths are beside construction sites (before macritchie), I took some routes in private estates too, may be narrow and no shelter so depends on comfort level!

[@subeedoobab]

Hi, may i know if you asked mobot to install a kickstand on your trifold bike?

[@avchiang]

Yup I did!

[@khalikuzzaman]

Can share how you cross over from Lonnie PCN (side by side to MacRitchie Reservoir) rejoining to Coast-to-Coast trail? Few days ago I made it and carried my bike across the bridge but could not figure out Coast-to-Coast continuity- turned back & also saw many who were lost like me 🤔

[@avchiang]

hey! from the comments given, I should have stayed on the side where the carpark entrance of the MacRitchie Reservoir is. I ended up getting lost and went a bigger loop via Balestier~

[@SingaporeUntold]

I never tried this as my friend told me it’s not really bike friendly 😅

[@avchiang]

it isn't bike-friendly indeed since it's more catered for walking :D

[@boonhianng1014]

Great video and effort. Btw may i know whats the size of the front block bag that you got? Thank you

[@avchiang]

thank you! I'm not sure about the size, but I got it from Shopee can take a look!

Do take them if you try this route:)

You can use the Lornie PCN ! its a very nice route to cycle :)

maybe I'll drive over to somewhere nearer and try it :P

Hi :) will you be able to share your bike set up? :) eg. Which bicycle you are using, and which phone holder / water bottle holder you are using :)

So in Singapore, you cannot bike on the road? I notice you are taking the pedestrian/sidewalk lane.
