Cycling around Singapore

For starters, try cycling around Singapore! One round-island loop can come up to about 120km, depending on which route you take. As the lanes are kinda small on this island, do take extra caution when riding on the roads (cycling on the pavements is illegal). Stick to the left-most lane and watch out for those big vehicles that tend to brush past you. They are always too close for comfort.

Some tips:
1. Plan your route (whether in Singapore or abroad) by checking out Google Maps online.
2. Water-proof your valuables.
3. An important aspect of cycling is self-sustainability. Bring your extra inner tubes, pump, multi-purpose tools, patch kits, some food and water.
4. Food and water is readily available in Singapore, hence a lesser concern. This is NOT so in many places abroad.
5. Helmet, gloves and shades are recommended for protection and extra comfort.
6. Never leave your bike unattended! A lock can solve this problem but do take note that no lock cannot be cut! It is only a matter of time.
