I will be visiting Singapore for a month but I am interested in maxxing my stay and try to meet people and play sports.

I hope to cycle around and eat things in the evenings/nights because I heard it's always safe everywhere.

I wonder is there some app or safe way to rent a bike?

Hi all!

I was wondering if I could just dismantle my bike and bring the frame and the wheels into the MRT so I could cycle with my friends living in the West as I’m living in the east 😅

I’ll be using a wheel bag to carry and cover my wheel set but I’m quite worried about the frame leaving grease stains with my chain around.

I’ll be traveling off peak hour if it helps!

Hi I recently bought a road bike to cycle from point to point, such as going for haircuts, cycling to uni, and others. However, I feel like as someone who bikes in btwn 20kmph ～ 30kmph, its unsafe and difficult to bike on pedestrian pathways, while the cars on the road usually don't seem friendly to cyclists... is it really okay to bike on roads here?

Also this bike is relatively new, from a friend of mine living at Orchard. Was wondering if there would be an ideal route for me to ride it back to Jurong East, where I live?

Sharing a simple open-source map (CycleSG) that brings cycling routes around Singapore into one place.

It’s designed to make it easier to discover new routes and plan rides without needing to jump between different platforms like Strava or Google Maps.

Could be useful if you’re exploring new cycling areas or just want a quick overview of route options around SG.

Pretty self explanatory juz wondering if anyone knows of feasible routes from Central SG (eg. Bartley) to Chesnut which doesn’t require riding along Mandai Ave aka the Crematorium/Columbarium road

Original post was somehow deleted… anyway

Looking to join/start a queer(-friendly) road bike group for regular rides (~2hrs, once or twice a week). Do you guys know about any groups or are any of you looking to join such a group.

Because it came up in the previous post: in a queer or queer friendly group, lgbtqi+ people are less likely to encounter discrimination and abuse. That’s the reason for having such a community.

Hi,

I’m looking to join/start a queer/lgbtqi+ (friendly) road bike group for regular excercise rides (2hrs / once or twice a week).

Any tips or interested parties?

hello! I have been cycling on a mountain bike around Singapore, longest distance being about 80+km in one ride. I really enjoy cycling and I cycle mostly on PCNs and pavements, only ever cycled on the road during the NTU Bike Rally.

now I am keen to buy a road bike, but I was wondering if cyclists in Singapore mostly use a road bike or gravel bike. it is a large expense so i am considering my options before deciding to buy a bike.

please let me know your suggestions and thank you 😄

Edit: thanks everyone for the really really helpful suggestions! i really appreciate it! May i know how easy it is to get into cycling on the road (as someone who has predominantly cycled on PCN)? Thanks!!

30F leisure rider here, averaging around 10–20km/h. I mostly use rental city bikes for the convenience, and have done 50–60km rides on them too, including TCMR.

Looking for cycling buddies mainly because solo rides are starting to get a little boring haha. Hoping to sign up for next year's OCBC cycle 40km ride again.

My usual route is Changi Airport → ECP → MBS, but I’m open to exploring other routes too. Also happy to join existing cycling groups/clubs if the pace matches.

Availability: Weekday late afternoons onwards.

I'm a casual cyclist and wanna get my workout over with in an hour. I don't cycle that fast and I just need good cycling routes near Simei.

This might be the most random post here but here goes, sooooo I went on my first long ride today using a sharebike, and i think I want to get my own bike

Been clocking 6km rides (3/week) for the last 2 months

And i did my first 46km ride, did a 1.5 loop (cause it was so funnnn)

from punggol park to punggol pcn route 😝

Can i get some route recommendations? Where is fun to cycle n somewhat beginner friendly? I did cbd to stadium once n got lost so I didn't went to ecp 😆 do u guys use Google maps for directions?

Bike recommendations maybe something below 500?

Random af, but any group want to adopt me hahah, I think Sundays, or weekday lunch ride is on for me

Stats about me 155, 90kg. So i probably nerd something durable for my weight 💀 Another random qns, is there a specific type of shoe to use for cycling? I did w a regular running shoes once n its so hottt, yea I cycle w slippers today 😂

We listen n we don't judge k, hahahaah

Tks for reading

Hello all! Would like to tap on the collective wisdom of everyone here. Currently in a dilemma on what kind of road bike to get.

My options are either a brand new bike (Polygon Strattos S4D w/ Tiagra groupset) or a second hand bike of the same price (generally 105 tier bikes like Canyon Endurace CF/7, or Giant Contend AR).

Just started getting into cycling with the goal of training for HIM/IM. Would like to ask for everyone’s opinions and what considerations I should have when choosing :)

We need to start educating people strobe light doesn’t provide you safety. It attracts attention and blinds incoming traffic at worst it stuns the rider.

most place should have parts without street light to make them realize they are flash banging themselves like they are doing on others

Are the riding conditions getting worse, or is it just me?

The bike lanes have basically turned into gravel trails with random rock‑garden sections.

Every now and then, you’ll even find heavy‑vehicle spare parts or metal shavings scattered across the lane — perfect for punctures.

And if you try riding beside the lane, the heavy vehicles are so aggressive it makes the whole idea of a ‘bike lane’ feel pointless.

Just my opinions as a solo rider.

I have a road bike that was abandoned and has gathered rust. It still works fine, but gear shifting is poor and the bike just feels off. Some bolts and nuts have also rusted.

How much should I pay to get it fully operational? The Decathlon service workshop is my preferred option at the moment.

Anyone had experience buying a Brompton from Singapore. Where do you buy from? The Brompton official store ?

I am considering whether to buy a fixed gear or gravel bike. Like all teenage guys, we all want something that looks good. The fixed gear fufills that, but the gravel provides more functionality like 2 bottle cage mounts. I dont cycle everyday, but when i do i usually go for 10-20kms or 50+ when with friends. Can anyone give me advice?

Waa cycling down a pavement that was fairly wide, auntie walking in the middle. I rang bell from about 50m away, auntie ignored me. Eventually she turned around saw me, then walked towards my bike ( I was on the right and kept inching towards the side of the pavement to avoid her). She then tried to flick her tote bag at me/ my bike.

I told her off and then ride off.

What would you have done?
