It's a good idea to cycle during a weekday. This is inspiring. I do like to challenge myself too. Thanks for sharing the route around the island! God bless you both!
Hi hi ^__^ Glad the video made you wants to challenge yourself ^__^ Remember to bring enough drinking water and get the seat cushion for the long ride.
No mention ^_^ Try to go early as you can, and get your gf a good seat cushion and make sure you both stay hydrate.... It will be fun after the 21 Jun, you both can stop for a better meal.
Hi Jay, have to do it when you have time and energy :p Our butt pain for 4 days even we have extra seat cushion ^___^ I really suggest to start the trip at ECP, it's really more fun from the view.
Jim and Marilyn this video is a long, long overdue cycling tour of that cycling jewel known as Singapore. This a a 10 out 10 expose of what Singapore has to offer for cycle touring and Jim you are one very lucky duck to have a lady such as Marilyn to accompanying you. She has a lovely peronality and a "can do it" atttude that would make such a tour so enjoyable to share with her. Once all this Covid crap is finished (if ever) you've inspired me to head to Singers to do just what you two have just done. I have a folding bike which wil fit into Singapores traffic well. I'm Aussie but live in Phnom Penh. Vegan and not into dope either, and would love to find a lady with Marilyn's attitutde to tour and camp with, Malaysia too . I want to check out those pristine camping sites you pointed out. Superb Singapore.
Ya~I'm very lucky to have her go try fun activities with me ^__^ I did cycling trip in Laos - Luang Prabang, it's cycling friend from the airport to the Kaungsi Waterfall. Do drop us a msg when you need tips in Singapore, we are happy to share with you ^_^
What an effort guys! Thanks for the video. As a new cyclist, I was wondering how to get from West Coast to ECP via PCN, and now after watching this I have a good idea now. Thanks again! Maybe try the round island route one day!
Finally I succeeded! After 3 failed attempts earlier, today I managed to complete the RI journey of 129km. From AMK I went north to sembawang, admiralty and woodlands. Then west to kranji, lim chu kang and jln bahar. Boon lay and jln buroh, west coast road, to marina Bay, east coast parkway, coastal road round airport, Changi, pasir ris, then punggol and sengkang, and AMK.
Dear Jim, I think you are really amazing because you could still talk non-stop after cycling such a long distance with the mask on...thanks for this video. I know where to go to for a nice cycling tour.
That was an amazing bike tour! I did similar but shorter version of your route, instead of turning to kranji and lck, I cut through old woodlands road, upper bukit timah and clementi road to wcp (Because i wasn't confident to ride on roadside) then continue the same route as yours. It was really refreshing, your video inspire me to try that again!
I was thinking to skip that but we wanted round island then we continue to Kranji and LCK, we found that is a bit dangerous so we skipped Tuas. The trucks drivers are very nice but we feel bad to slow down their work from Kranji part. You may try on weekend should have lesser trucks around Kranji.
Jim, Marilyn, you guys are awesome (and fearless). 150km! It's great that you both are very careful cyclists. Safety first. Thanks for sharing the effect each isotonic drink had on you. Good information 😊
Hi Tim, We really don't want to get injure during the challenge, we rather go slow then get send to the hospital :p There are non gassy 100Plus version, try your best to get that one. And now I recall actually we should bring some bananas, that will give more energy during the ride.
What an awesome round the Singapore island trip vid, must be fun while cycling and enjoying the nice scenery at the same time. You guys must have lots of extra energy to burn.. ha. Very cool........ always wanted to do that once day. Do have fun & enjoy what you Love. Thanks for sharing Jim~ take care
Hahaha Thank you Louis, ^_^ It's very tiring and but pain for four days. I would love to have buffet to celebrate the achievement but we rode during the phase 2 HA so we had light dinner at her place after the ride ^_^
Hi Shaun, We both drive in Singapore, we totally understand the annoying feel when the cyclists ride middle of the road and slow down the traffic, worst is not safe to ride like grandfather road to the driver and the cyclists. Have to remind to go slow and safe to those want to have round island ride ^_^
Thanks very much for sharing your 12 hour long cycling journey. Wow....I see that both of you are really tough and adventurous people. What a truly challenging task that you have completed successfully. Good job and keep it up young man and woman. Take good care and God bless both of you!
Thank you Cchong^_^ It really feel great after we completed the round Singapore island bike route, very tiring but the achievement is priceless. Marilyn is very sporty! We dance together and we went to try Stand up paddle together, maybe we will try wind surfing next time.
@@Nae395 got to invest a good seat cushion, our butt pain for 3 days even we have the cushion. I got bruises last time Cycling from Melbourne station to Brighton Bathing Boxes.
I know right??! I am also a driver and I really think cyclist should keep on the left as they can, and also not in a big group to slow down the traffic.
@@alvintan1226 we are planning coast to coast bike ride after Phase 2 HA on a weekday, would you like to join? It will be a relax ride with stops for food.
I just watched it on TV. Overall it was quite relax for me because there is a ceiling fan turning above me, ha ha but I know these period weather is so so hot, it wasn't easy for you both especially you both stick to the PCN and pedestrian path, and bicycle not those expensive type. I don't dare to cycle on road too. Hopefully our government quickly make a PCN for kranji to LCK soon. Salute to both of you. Good job 👍👍
Hahaha we think hot day is better than rainy day to have round island ride :p We both also think safety is more important than speed, we hope all beginner cyclists stay safe as they can for themselves and the drivers. I don't think there will be a PCN from Kranji to LCK, just ride on the off peak hour will do ^_^ You can try la, we both never have any training still can complete the ride.
(^__^) Honestly go alone is also not bad~ You can cycle in your own speed not to stress by your partner, recently is a bit too hot to go round island, maybe you can train a bit and go in June.
Just watched on the big screen at home. So impressed. No way coyld I have ridden for 12 hours Jim. Poor Marilyn must have got sunburnt so much. But i will definetly do ride trips in SG when I get there again.
Singapore is a tiny island, slightly smaller than New York. But you wouldn't think so if you attempted a round island bicycle ride. People who have done it say it is between 120-150km. The difference depends on the routes and how each one defines round island. I think the accurate distance is approximately 140km. So far I've made 3 attempts but failed each time. Thanks to the blazing sun and scorching heat. I never made it past the 100km mark. But I am a senior so I don't feel too bad. I will conquer it soon.
Ya, it looks small but have many traffic light stops and many junctions making the round island more challenging and taking longer time to complete. It's very impressive you can ride so much at your age! Do let me know once you had completed the round island ride, I'll drink beer to celebrate on your behalf :p
Arhhh I have deleted the full video. You can visit the area to explore before you have the bike ride :) Or just go ahead on the round island ride, it's easy to find the way.
Hi hi, the link is the marking of the rest points or turning points, I use the Google map with walking route so that will not lead me to express way. Hope that is useful for you ☺️ maps.app.goo.gl/y5R2eDfkXdYuaoCeA
For me i will warm up from marina bay east area towards east coast N remember to loose up or clear up ur tummy to help up our weight...i always do it last minute too like after work but i do trekking towards punggol n coney island..u got do a good job guys, but pain will be gone if u do it on constant speed..it will not burn out easily...overall good job guys
I love this cycling video as we are also bikers but I dont have energy to bike all around singapore coz its so humid.. I can only cycle 30km max back and fort 😅.. I wish we can go around too without me complaining 😅. Singapore is really very nice lots of nice green parks.👍
Ya! Singapore is really humid to ride long distance~ like we said, it's important to have the right buddy to make this happen and mentally prepared then you can make it.
Hi Venus~ It's a little bit tiring but both of us think almost everyone can do it, just make sure you start early and get a good quality seat cushion. I'm using Gopro hero 9 Black, it support 5k and the build in stabilizer is very good, I don't even use gimbal for the video. You may purchase the camera from the link below, so far it's the cheapest in Shopee: shp.ee/yhvqzeb
Thank you for the inspiring video. Most of the RTI circuit involve riding mainly on roads which discourage me from doing it. This is the 1st video where the RTI is on PCN and footpath. May I know what camera are you using to record the journey? Is it on all the time for 12 hours and how do you power it?
Good morning Steve~ It will be slower but totally worth it and safer, only Kranji to LCK is a bit dangerous but manageable. I'm using GoPro Hero black 9 for this video, very good camera with the build-in stabiliser and support 5K video. You may purchase the camera from the link below, so far it's the cheapest in Shopee: shp.ee/yhvqzeb
@@Follow_ussg Thank you for your recommendation. May I confirm if GoPro Hero Black 9 power can last 12 hours for your video recording? Otherwise, do you connect it to a power bank during the bike?
Oh ya, Paiseh I missed out the question. I on and off record the route, some of the place has got nothing much to see. Overall it's enough for me to record 1.5hour footage with one charge during lunch break.
Hi Ang :) You may check out my rest points or photo spots at the link below. maps.app.goo.gl/y5R2eDfkXdYuaoCeA Make sure you use the walking option for safer route. ^_^
Ohhh~ Just noticed you are from Canada ^__^ I did a great ride in Laos with my foldable bike long time ago, it was a great experience that you might like : th-cam.com/video/ExeZ3X9CZZA/w-d-xo.html
You may have view from the link below: goo.gl/maps/XPddcxK4PvfcNNBM8 I have all the stop points marked on Google map, I use walking route option to navigate direction from points to points. I think that is the safer and easier way, hope that is helpful for you (^__^)
Kudos for emphasising on the importance of safety and cycling on PCNs and pavements. I've seen so many cyclists, including my friends, cycle so recklessly on the road. Even if they cycle with caution, who are we to say that the drivers will be alert at all times or skillful enough to 'siam' them. After watching the video and learning that most of this route can be completed on the PCNs and pavements, I feel more reassured and inspired to try it out myself. Thank you for this informative video!
Hi hi, I can share the rest points and photo spots at the link below by Google Map, thats how I plan my route. maps.app.goo.gl/y5R2eDfkXdYuaoCeA Make sure you use the walking option for safer route. ^_^
Hello there, I'm a Malaysian Malay Muslim man age 34, from Johor Bahru Malaysia. I have ever been walking alone through the bicycle lane alongside from near the bedok jetty East coast park F1 right on the way via Tanah merah ferry terminal, Changi coast road up to the end of Changi beach.
@@Follow_ussg I don't remember how long I took but I cycled from Bishan Park to east coast park then along the Tanah Merah Coast road to Changi Village then to Pasir Ris then to Yishun Dam then to Springleaf then to lower peirce and back to Bishan Park.
I will be great to have the anti uv sleeve and glove, my sleeve roll up a bit when I ride and got ugly burn. I put on the had is for extra shade, the direct sun light can be annoying, so I add in the hat :p

Its really a different experience, totally worth to have a round Singapore cycling route.

For me i will warm up from marina bay east area towards east coast N remember to loose up or clear up ur tummy to help up our weight...i always do it last minute too like after work but i do trekking towards punggol n coney island..u got do a good job guys, but pain will be gone if u do it on constant speed..it will not burn out easily...overall good job guys
I love this cycling video as we are also bikers but I dont have energy to bike all around singapore coz its so humid.. I can only cycle 30km max back and fort 😅.. I wish we can go around too without me complaining 😅. Singapore is really very nice lots of nice green parks.👍
Ya! Singapore is really humid to ride long distance~ like we said, it's important to have the right buddy to make this happen and mentally prepared then you can make it.
Cool determination you guys are doing. Its really nice to do adventures like this.
Thank you Mike ^__^
Go try one day, the weather seem good for a round island ride now.
Well done 👍
Thank you!!! ☺️☺️☺️
So fun
You should try it too if the chance arise! 🤗
Well done 👍 keep it up and be safe 🙏
Thank you
good stamina, a very good idea for me as a beginner to cycle around the island. your camera so steady, can share what camera u using?
Hi Venus~
It's a little bit tiring but both of us think almost everyone can do it, just make sure you start early and get a good quality seat cushion.
I'm using Gopro hero 9 Black, it support 5k and the build in stabilizer is very good, I don't even use gimbal for the video.
You may purchase the camera from the link below, so far it's the cheapest in Shopee:

Sooner or later i am gonna follow ur foot steps bro..my bike is still in progress to tune in up..
^_^ make sure you get a good seat cushion, I keep tell everyone first timer, that is a must.
Just wanted to give a quick shout out. Hope you guys are doing well. Miss you guys.
Thanks so much David. Have a great week! ☺️
Thanks for the motivation
No mention, must take action soon oh ^_^
Haha. Crazy cha bor..lol
wow, this looks nice! it can be inspiring as well coz it's just regular people cycle across singapore
Yaaaa,
We wanted Taiwanese also have the round island trip, we think we should it since Singapore is a small island and we did it!!
@@Follow_ussg can you share your route? or upload another video of the time lapse :)
@@gz3540 here is the link of the stop points.

@@gz3540 I used Google Map with walking route to plan the route :)
So it will not lead me to express way
Thank you for the inspiring video. Most of the RTI circuit involve riding mainly on roads which discourage me from doing it. This is the 1st video where the RTI is on PCN and footpath. May I know what camera are you using to record the journey? Is it on all the time for 12 hours and how do you power it?
Good morning Steve~
It will be slower but totally worth it and safer, only Kranji to LCK is a bit dangerous but manageable.
I'm using GoPro Hero black 9 for this video, very good camera with the build-in stabiliser and support 5K video. You may purchase the camera from the link below, so far it's the cheapest in Shopee:

@@Follow_ussg Thank you for your recommendation. May I confirm if GoPro Hero Black 9 power can last 12 hours for your video recording? Otherwise, do you connect it to a power bank during the bike?
Oh ya,
Paiseh I missed out the question.
I on and off record the route, some of the place has got nothing much to see.
Overall it's enough for me to record 1.5hour footage with one charge during lunch break.
Thumbs up…
i did one round too… started from Jurong Park….
13hrs - 122km.
Wow, Start from Jurong like not much view leh~ I think we covered about 150km as some part we went to the wrong way and we go round island as we can.
memang cantik singapore kat changi beach ,aku nak melawat lainn kali yang changi beach placeni suatu hari nanti.
Sorry if you mentioned this before, but could you share a Strava map or Google map path for this! Great video!

Thanks Guys. Good one. Stay safe.
You are welcome, hope you will have a fun around island ride :)
Beautiful place.
Thank you ^_^
Any beautiful route you can suggest?
@@Follow_ussgsorry, no ideas.

@@Follow_ussg very nice
@@Follow_ussg maybe one day you can show me around.
Good job guys! Thanks for this
No mention, are you plan to have a round island too?
Nice bike tour. 😁 How convenient for us to just watch this video at our air conditioned home😂😂😂
Hahahaha
U can try round HKG island bike route too
@@Follow_ussg 🤣
@@AnthonyLuxuryTravel I think but can do it :p
@@Follow_ussg i think it’s do-able but I just couldn’t have the energy to do that🤣🤣🤣
Take it slowly la, you can stop over in nice hotel and continue in 2 days :p
Well done, even I don't dare to cycle on the road.
Have to ride safe for everyone~ Really dont understand why some people can occupied 2 lanes~
Do you have a guide on where to start and each stop that we should follow. We are both beginners who’s planning to do this.
You may have view from the link below:

I have all the stop points marked on Google map, I use walking route option to navigate direction from points to points. I think that is the safer and easier way, hope that is helpful for you (^__^)
Thank you! :)
@@pamflores7920 You are most welcome ^_^
Make sure you have the extra seat cushion and helmet for the ride~
Will definitely try this 👍🏽
Hello Jack! Hope it will be a blast for you as much as I enjoyed doing it too! Have a wonderful day, and stay safe! ☺️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hopefully this pandemic will be over soon. Then perharps jim can organise a group ride and we shall all join. That will be fun.
Wah, I can only arrange a small group, at most 5 pax :p
@@Follow_ussg can be plan and discuss if there are more who wanna ride tho
Will you be interested in coast to coast ride? I'm planning to make a video end of June.
@@Follow_ussg depends if i'm busy with work. Let me know when and i'll try to see if i can join. Can't promise as of now.
@@devilzsatan5431 I see~
We planned to go on 12 Jul if no rain on the day. Do let us know if you can make it ^_^
Thanks for the video, time to jio 1 or 2 friends to do it with me! Haha!
Make sure u drag someone fun and fit ^___^
Get them seat cushion sure they will go with you.
Kudos for emphasising on the importance of safety and cycling on PCNs and pavements. I've seen so many cyclists, including my friends, cycle so recklessly on the road. Even if they cycle with caution, who are we to say that the drivers will be alert at all times or skillful enough to 'siam' them. After watching the video and learning that most of this route can be completed on the PCNs and pavements, I feel more reassured and inspired to try it out myself. Thank you for this informative video!
Thank you Chara ^__^
Really to have put safety on first priority la~ Too many careless riders and drivers~
Try and let me know your experience ya~
Well done! May I know what device you used to video record and the equipment to keep it on your bike? Thanks.
Hi Yan ho~
I'm using GoPro Hero black 10 for this video ^_^
@@Follow_ussg THanks.
Want to do this someday :) leisure riding only as I want to experience the beauty of your country. ☺️
You can do that for sure, there are many share bike companies for you to use the bike ^_^
@@Follow_ussg ah yes! I forgot about that option! That is actually more practical than bringing my bike over to Singapore. Should be exciting! ☺️
great job! do you have a strava id we can follow your routes?
Hi hi,
I can share the rest points and photo spots at the link below by Google Map, thats how I plan my route.

Make sure you use the walking option for safer route. ^_^
Hello there, I'm a Malaysian Malay Muslim man age 34, from Johor Bahru Malaysia. I have ever been walking alone through the bicycle lane alongside from near the bedok jetty East coast park F1 right on the way via Tanah merah ferry terminal, Changi coast road up to the end of Changi beach.
Hi Aziz~
Aku juga anak Malaysia! Tapi dari Pulau Pinang :P
You walk very far!!!!! At least 4hours?
What an amazing video! I've been trying attempt the Round Island Route after trying the Half Island Route. Wish me luck!
Oh cool!
How long you took for half island trip?
The video shown the tough part, I think no problem to you since you did the half island trip.
@@Follow_ussg I don't remember how long I took but I cycled from Bishan Park to east coast park then along the Tanah Merah Coast road to Changi Village then to Pasir Ris then to Yishun Dam then to Springleaf then to lower peirce and back to Bishan Park.
Wah, long route also leh~
@@Follow_ussg The route is quite convenient as it's well-connected. I plan to do a TH-cam video on my experience too
@@BrendanTheTraveller and u did a safe route too.
Do share your video once you done the ride.
Nice round island! Your shirt looks airy it gives me an idea what to wear. Lol. But why double hat? :)
I will be great to have the anti uv sleeve and glove, my sleeve roll up a bit when I ride and got ugly burn.
I put on the had is for extra shade, the direct sun light can be annoying, so I add in the hat :p
@@Follow_ussg Oh I see. Thanks for the tip! By the way what cam are you using?
@@igowalkwalk5437 you are welcome ^_^
I'm using Gopro hero 9 Black, the build in stabiliser is very good, I don't even use gimbal for the video,
I just mount on the handle, maybe you can see from the cover photo :P
You also may purchase the camera from the link below, so far it's the cheapest in Shopee:

@@Follow_ussg I'm using hero 9 too for my walks atm and still learning. I will try mounting on a bike soon. :)
