I tried it once. If you are into heights and jumps, then they have a good track there. Otherwise, I prefer the Bukit Timah trails

Me been to both bukit timah nature reserve and pulau ubin to cycle ... Fun !!! Coz it's very different from normal cycling on proper paved roads .. hee .. but pulau ubin's bike aren't that good ...

Anybody into night cycling ?? Any suggestion of any good routes ?? Me wanna organize a night cycling group .. Haha .. Razz

hmm... used to cycle wif my frens (nite cycling) from Jurong West (near Tuas) to Fullerton Hotel near Esplanade.
Our route:
Jurong West Extension -> Jurong East (stop for supper) -> Choa Chu Kang -> Bukit Panjang -> Bukit Timah (King Albert Park) -> Newton Circus -> Orchard Road (feels shiok to cycle in front of Wisma n Taka at nite) -> Selegie -> Lau Pa Sat -> One Fullerton.
cycled from 10p.m to 3a.m, rest, then repeat the same journey back.. haha.. it's fun...! Mr. Green

North east ar? Tried cycling to Punggol End? Or Punggol Marina [though closed for renovations]? Very interesting places. The road like rollercoaster like that.

Cycle along NEL seems interesting to me. But never tried. Sad Or Old Tampines Road?

Just cycled to Punggol last weekend. Punggol Marina has reopened. Its called Marina Country Club(or something like that). Nice route

AdAptAliS SG

Thanks for the info. Will visit it again when i have the time. Smile

i stayed in the east, so, i think the puggol route through old tampines could be quite interesting.

how about the pasir ris beach towards lor halus? is there any road for the bike to sengkang using the tampines rd?

AdAptAliS SG

Not exactly what i will call interesting but i think its the only "legal" route to get to Sengkang from Pasir Ris by cycling. Illegal meaning cycling on TPE. Its illegal right? Razz

From Pasir Ris Park, Downtown East area:
Pasir Ris Dr 3, Pasir Ris Dr 12, Tampines Ave 10, Old Tampines Rd, Tampines Rd, Hougang Ave 1, Hougang Ave 8 (Punggol Park), Hougang Ave 10, Punggol Road.

Enjoy

What sort of bicycles you guys use on the trails ah? Those expensive GT types is it?

milohse SG

mine just an original transport bike with no proper suspension, so, will avoid those hilly tracks at pasir ris for the time being. some more the gear changing no working properly.

how r those mountain bikes that cost less then $100? heard the korean make is better.

Anyone cycle in the morning for exercise or leisure?

milohse SG

hardly. usually is to a certain destination.

itz fun riding around with the bike 'cos you can travel to those lanes with private houses and get to see some interesting design.

i think its really cool to cycle to the east coast beach for dinner.

XiaoTingDong SG

Haha .. Juz came back after a cycle around SengKang n the Punggol area .. hee ... went to look c look c with my brother n his frenz ... there goes my sunday morning ... Smile

kohanson SG

i used to cycle every weekend to east coast.. but now no time already. So i put my bike one side..

milohse SG

anyone know of any bicycle shop that sells good/comfortable saddle/bicycle seat?

apparently, the standard bicycle seat can be harmful and cause numbness during long ride.

shinta SG

wat do u call the bicycles that are really big...like the ones in east coast? eh...assuming u're around 1.65, u can juz stand on ur feet frm the seat...for me i can't touch the ground frm the seat...i'm too short at 1.6 Sad ...

how much will they cost i wonder...i wanna buy one of those if i hav the money..then it'd be 1 comfy ride....no more aching bums... Wink
