Older estate like jurong is not a planned estate. Cycyling track were added recently due to high demand. Pls pardon our small space in singapore, u might nt see a perfect cyclign track around the island but we r improving.

100 Plus was created in Singapore in the 80s to celebrate the 100th birthday of the soft drinks company Fraser and Neave (F&N). It’s spread around the region in the last 30ish years.

Not a bike destination, but if you want to learn about Singapore’s architecture and infrastructure, check out the URA center with exhibits on how Singapore works. The huge scale model of Singapore is great to see. You’ll hear about Pulau Ubin from locals as a place to mountain bike. Plus Maxwell Hawker Centre is a great place to grab a meal. The Red Dot Museum will be a nice break from riding if you appreciate design. All in close proximity.

Many people took up cycling during the covid lockdown when exercising was still allowed. That's why there is an explosion of folding bikes now. 12 years ago, when I got my first folding bike, they were not popular, and choices were very limited. And with the PCN being built and expending, it has made exploring the island a breeze as so many places are connected now.

Welcome to Sg. Do explore the park connectors, eventually it's supposed to connect the whole island but right now still WIP. Some nice parks to consider riding too...Bishan Park, Punggol Waterways, East Coast - there are park connectors and cycling path where road bikes usually go fast. It's called Tanah Merah Coastal Road - TMCR. You can also try going round island estimated 168km or 128km depending on route you take. Anyway do also explore the street hawker food in and around Sg..

Hi guys, hope you are enjoying your stay here. Just a thing about the cycling culture here. Our paths are really mostly shared paths even though there are dividing lines and stuff. It will be quite common to see pedestrians walking on cycling paths and cyclists riding on walking paths etc. I don't think you need to ring the bell or use the horn or anything. Most cyclists here will slow down and navigate past pedestrians even if they are walking on the cycling path. Nobody likes a beep on the road or on the path. Right?

Footpaths are meant for pedestrians only and not for bicycles which are vehicles. But locals are tolerant to share footpaths with cyclists. It’s best for cyclists to dismount and push your bicycle while on crowded footpath. It is good practice to alert pedestrian ahead of you to ring your bells or announce “sorry, excuse me”

The traffic looks orderly. The bikes seem perfectly suitable for the riding that you did. For casual and exploration purposes. Always nice to have convenient storage too. On another note, the saddle that Thuong was riding looks more conforming than yours. How was it?

Haha I can see that Cruise is still super excited and high on adrenaline after posting this video, how do I know that? He replied to at least 90% of the comments below 🤣🤣🤣 Just want to introduce a little about SG's unique housing model. 80% of its residents live in public housing (aka HDB flats). When you hear public housing, many people would imagine them to be small, dark and dingy, on the contrary, these are really well designed housing with manicured gardens and shared leisure space. There are shops, supermarkets, schools and sports amenities in the neighbourhood to provide convenience to the residents. The SG gov started the public housing scheme in 1960s, the goal was to house as many people as possible and making them affordable. The flats have 99 year land lease, and technically the gov own the flats. But the gov started a Home Ownership Scheme where they allow residents here to "buy" the flats at heavily subsidised rates and owners are allowed to "sell" the flats in an open market to get capital gain. But the gov is still the eventual owner, it paints the buildings every 7 years, it decides which blocks are to be torn down and manages the cleaning of common areas. The owners don't collectively make those decisions, unlike in private housing where a residents' committee will be formed or a management company will be appointed to handle these matters. Compared to many cities in the world and its long time rival Hong Kong, SG's housing policies have proved to be on many levels above. Unfortunately, things have gone a bit wrong (or to many people, VERY wrong) in recent years. More and more large HDB flats are selling about 2 to 3 times its original subsidised prices to above SGD$1 million. Even smaller ones have seen prices rocketing, many people can't afford them. And if they want to buy directly from the gov, the wait is long because of construction disruptions and a surge in demand. Public housing has become more difficult to afford, further and further away from the gov's initial goal. The gov has reiterated countless times that they are monitoring the situation closely and will take action when necessary to cool down prices. We'll see.

Just keep following the brown signages like these 5:02 5:32 8:32 8:38 so that you can continue cycling on the PCN.

While there is a pretty robust park connector network across the island overall, cycling around the older neighbourhoods is still not very conducive. The government only really started to build these cycling paths quite recently in the last 5-10 years so there's still quite a lot of the old pavements that are kinda narrow (which makes it quite annoying to cycle across when there are many pedestrians about) and many of the older neighbourhoods currently have very limited cycling paths/wide pavements. Also some of the pavements are basically impossible to widen due to various infrastructure/old trees that have already been built around them as the government did not originally plan for cycling paths back then. But if you go to many of the newer neighbourhood towns, there are many nice wide pavements built with cyclists in mind. However, they have been widening and renovating many of the old pavements over time so I am optimistic that it will be even nicer to cycle around the country in another 5-10 years time.

Sound like a typical Singaporean who complains alot. I used to ride escooter, electric unicycle, mountain bikes and road bikes. I love our PCNs. It isn’t possible to make wide tracks every place that u want. You have to accept that for some places, we have to stick with the old pavements. How then? Just adjust your thinking and go slow and share the path with pedestrians. What’s the point of complaining or nitpicking about such small stuff?

@@foodmore uh, what? You seem to be the only one complaining 'a lot' it seems. I praised the pcn network right on my first line and said I was optimistic about how much more it can improve with time and made one minor complaint as the pcn network definitely still has issues. Unless you are somehow insinuating the pcn network is currently perfect as it is and no longer needs any improvements?
