I too an expat here and i just bought a brompton for SG cycling and I really love it. Just additional tip, every time i ring my bell approaching pedestrians on the sidewalks, I always say “thank you” when i pass them by just for basic courtesy, and i think they appreciate it ❤️
definitely....a little kindness goes a long way. thank you
Basic rule has always been to keep left. Singapore drivers sit on the right, so I do understand the instincts to veer towards the wrong side.
I really hope we have more bicycle lanes in Singapore, like a separate bicycle lane beside the walkways (for the pedestrians), so that it is safe for both cyclists and pedestrians. The park connectors are not everywhere and it might not be very convenient depending on where you want to go to.
I totally agreed with you Florence. We should have a designated bicycle lane on our roads. Just like China
I'm a Singaporean but I watch your videos. I don't know what I am doing.
haha what's wrong with that
Hey Travis, fellow American in Singapore. You might want to try this route: from Jelita take Bukit Sepap to the trail leading to Green Corridor, continue all the way to the trail closure then jump on Rifle Range road all the way to the end... and if you’re feeling adventurous take the dirt trails from there. One of the best routes I’ve found!
Thanks!
This is a pretty spot on commentary on cycling in Singapore.
I'm a local and in general it's pretty safe to cycle here, bar the small times where drivers do stuff like stopping at double yellow lines in front of you to drop off passengers or just to wait illegally, and having to dodge to the next lane to ride uninterrupted...
Or the pedestrians who walk side by side on a PCN creating a human gate (seriously, 5 people side by side...)...
Just being courteous and patient as a cyclist in SG goes a long way. There's too many videos of errant cyclists doing shit that can be avoided if they were more understanding and patient. And I get that vehicle drivers and pedestrians can be idiots too, but if we start pointing fingers I don't think the argument will ever end.
Anyway, good to see a fellow cyclist following the rules, whether you're an expat or not. I think there's too much negativity on Singapore's day to day interactions.
Usually are the women that create the human gate, especially when there are more than 2 of them , so that they could talk to each other and at time face each other during their conversation, totally unaware of their surrounding.
For example the other day I met three of them, two on the left side by side, the third on the right, making a very small gap in the centre just for one bike to safely go through & because they were talking to each other, it is unlikely they were even aware of their surrounding.
Therefore I always shake my head and slow down.
There are even worst situation like three or more of them walking side by side on the left, on the right there could be other like incoming bike or jogger, therefore I was forced to bring my bell to make sure they were aware of my presence & start to move to the left.
Hi. I usually go out alone for my cycling after midnight because there is no traffic jam and it is easy for me to ride on the road.But be careful on the road.If it get raining,I don’t go out so I stay at home.
Tips jus shorten your handle bar
Like those used on single track
Easier to maneuver along the narrow path.
I love cycling at the Park Connectors a.k.a PCN trails...more enjoy.
I usually go out cycling alone every Monday after midnight until 3am or 4am I get back home because I am off day on every Tuesday and sleep per day all the times
Indeed my biggest problem cycling on the sidewalk is the crowd. Some really get annoyed when you ring a bell or skirt around them in tight spaces 😂
True that n he is riding quite fast on pavement n on pedestrian crossing.
Will be annoying pedestrians n drivers in due course; just pray hope no Blue Tent 🤭🤭
Just like when cars/lorries horn at bicycles to give way along motorist road.
I would recommend riding on the road.
The manner he is riding weaving All Over The Shop, just hope no Blue Tent for his sake
As singaporean, we keep to the left and move to the right when bikes comes
In this video you seem to be keeping right - while no one will call you out for it, cyclists generally keep left unless overtaking (as in motor traffic) on park connectors (the canal-side trails) and cycling paths. It's true sidewalks have no convention though, as pedestrians have legal right of way.
American yet to adopt to RHD; they are LHD
Just like China
So they bring they Habits over n not adopt
I'm also from NOVA/the DMV and I'm moving to Singapore a few weeks, hope to see you out there cycling sometime!
I rode from changi hawker all the way to Jurong West once, overnight cycling. I'll never do that again... Lol. I was using some cheap rental bikes that you find on Pulau Ubin. It was torturous
Well as singapore is transitioning to all E cars or majority taking public transport in the coming decades bikes lane on the roads is more possible
Thank you for making this video. This is very helpful as I am about to do a Brompton trip in Singapore.
I always get Tiong Bahru and Tanjong Pagar confused too. I'm not sure why.
yeah if u want to bike around leisurely/commute for errands its a decent enough place. if u want to do road riding seriously, then there are definitely better countries. that said, I wouldn't consider it a shitty place for road riding, given that the tarmac quality is good, there arent a lot of road debris (i ride about 6 hours each week and I've only punctured my road bike once in the past year), plenty of petrol kiosks and eateries around, and believe it or not, some areas are quiet enough (e.g: LCK, TMCR, rifle range road) to do repeats.
LoL in Thailand it hard too find straight ride even walk lane that are already tight fill with stall , sign , trees
If you like nature are interested and want to try mountain biking, there are also mountain bike trails in Singapore. You can go to Bukit Timah, Chestnut, T15, Pulau Ubin, and Kent Ridge. I have some videos on these trails. 🙂
Thanks for the recommendations!
The east coast park trail runs around and beyond the airport to pasir ris park (and i am not sure if it goes beyond that)
Too hot to go for bicycling in sg. Better take bus or walk underground. Next time try shanghai, one of the best places for cycling.
In the old days we did practice keep to the left side no matter is walking or riding so others can over take on the right , some how things did change alot on basic common sense that is really disappointed especially the escalator at mall or train station
That's what happens when out of 5M population; 1.6M++ are Imports, not Forgetting New Citizens n PRs.
So everything gets Muddled when each bring their own cultures n do Not Assimilate well
I agree that keeping left in train stations so that commuters can catch the train. But in malls its stupid because whats the rush to go shopping? If you are in a rush, take the lift or find the stair well and climb.
I sold my bike recently and bought a new folding bike so that I could bring it with me to the MRT!
My future, I think.
Ang mos ride too fast on pedestrian walkways. Dont! A small accident can mean big trouble or police case. The norm from your hometown dont apply here, ours do.
These AMs do as they Please, little wonder they Piss ppl off on their bicycle n make a bad rap for themselves
Thanks for sharing. Welcome to Singapore, a beautiful and well planned and organized city and country with lots of PCN(trails) and footpaths(sidewalks). Couldn't agreed more with you that riding on the street (road) is truly dangerous as you could easily get hit (or even killed) by any other vehicles on the road at any time. That's also the reason why I almost never ride on the road except one time when the footpath near my place was closed for construction and I had no choice but to switch to riding on the road for a short distance then quickly switched back to footpath and continue my journey back to my home. The good news is, I was told that they are now still in the process of increasing more PCN/Shared paths which will be awesome and good news to all cyclists, PMD riders and e-bicycle cyclists. Hopefully in the near future we would have more PCN/Shared Paths to use for our cycling journey around Singapore. Well, wish you all the best in your cycling journey and living in Singapore. Keep up the good work, take good care and God bless:)
I just learn bicyle here in singapore wish i understand to ride pathway or highway.
of course , we spent a lot of money to get a license , cars are expensive like gold , lol , and you forgot to mention bicycles are not allowed on expressway or tunnels
Wannabee who wants to sound like an Expert but actually Not
Like really i know the goverment did that to prevent da greenhouse gas from growing
Coming from Japan the no traffic patterns is so common. The momma chariots are the worst to just zipping through traffic, cutting you off, and making no apologies…
Great content!
There used to be QR codes bikes, where you get a bike any where are return it any where.... But they created so much untidiness in SG.... In the end govt imposed laws... So almost all of those bikes rental are gone now.
I still see them at many bus-stops.
@@karjeecheng9024 compared to few years ago...
@@gotmyonu1027 ah so
The bike lane just sucks so much, you have a bike lane and out of a sudden it change to pavement.
Welcome to SG; Patch work n Reactive.

Travis,did you go to Seletar Reservoir near Mandai zoo yet?
I use to let people hear my ring bell with my front cycling what I go on the pavement so they know what to move
I heard govt wants to implement bikes and e-scooter to have a working brake or u could get fined.
People are riding bikes without brakes? 😳
@@americaninsingapore6405
It's called a " Fixie ", not rocket science really
These are "Park connectors Networks" along drains and rivers.. come evening and morning period... There going to be a lot of joggers and family cyclist.. can be level of stress....
Cycling around Marina Bay, Barrage and F1 Pit building is great too!
Are you on Strava? :)
I once rode from ToaPayoh to East Coast in 3 hours via the road from 8pm - 11pm not much traffic.
nice content bru :)
oh nooo, don't compete with me, i'm getting a folding bike too and being put on waitlist for already almost a year.
You are riding quite fast on the pavements n on pedestrians crossing; also weaving left and right which is a hazard.
Beware of Blue Tent
Travis, I was looking for you around here just now morning but no sign of you ☹️
Thank you for sharing this video. What type of bike would you recommend to get (Road bike, Hybrid, Mountain)?
I have a folding bike called a Java Zelo V2. It's affordable ($300sgd) and everything I need for casual trips around the city or to the grocery store. However, if you're a serious biker I wouldn't get a folding bike.
A hybrid is probably the way to go if you're looking for a full size bike for daily use. 99% of the places you'll go are paved - so there's no need for a mountain bike unless you intend to seek out dirt trails for fun.
welcome to singapore.
In singapore, if no one see it, u will be fine and not fined.
Its the same everywhere on this planet
No,sometimes hard to ride. I am deaf male and single. I like to meet you for ride together
Can somebody provide me a site about traffic rules for bikes? Is it allowed to bike a ride on every pavements for pedestrians?
Yes allowed but pedestrian got the right of way
@@NewmaticKe
From what I have seen; cyclist like to weave n squeeze on the pavements making pedestrians hate them.
Travis here isn't riding slowly either so would make him a crowd Fav
The trail at 9.14 looks really smooth. Where is that?
That's one of the canal trails. Most of them look similar to that in my experience.
@@americaninsingapore6405 Could you share the general area? I longboard and am always on the lookout for trails with smooth asphalt, as they work well for the smaller wheels. Some of the other trails have much rougher asphalt or a lot of pedestrian crossings.
@@solemnfruit this section was on the Ulu Pandan Park Connector near Clementi
Yup, it's the canal that connects Ghim Moh and Clementi. From the Ghim Moh end, it's opposite the Buona Vista MRT station. I should know since I grew up there, lol.
@@americaninsingapore6405 Great! thank you!
Thank you for this video. Is it a map of bike lines somewhere?
One Map
@@NewmaticKe Thanks
Try Qoo10 and buy bikes with better prices
Just remember one important fact : Mounted Cyclists have no LEGAL right of way on 1. Pedestrian walkway (covered or not) 2. Footpath 3. Pedestrian or zebra crossing. 4. Void deck (HDB). 5. Playground. Cycling is considered vehicular traffic and belong on the road. Having said that, rules were not strictly enforced and motorists usually give way to cyclists on zebra crossings on a friendly basis not on a legal basis. DO NOT approach a zebra crossing at speed, the law is not on your side. If I am not mistaken, only Tampines Town have dedicated cycling and pedestrian tracks where cycling are allowed beside pedestrians on the basis that these are recreational cyclists. Refer to Road Traffic Act, Rules and Regulations.
He is riding quite fast on the pavements n on pedestrians crossing; also weaving left and right which is a hazard.
Definitely will be annoying pedestrians on pavements n drivers at pedestrians crossing; just hope no Blue Tent for his sake
Hi. It is false that there is no direction of riding on footpaths. There is such thing as the pedestrian code of conduct, do read that up ya

Because sg dun wanna be like China, in Beijing so many ppl using bike n congest the road.
But in sg we can share road with car.
And get mistreated, sometimes killed by cars lol.
Cos In China running over n killing the person is cheaper than when the person is disabled
ang mohs riding on the road taking the whole lane is fucking trash in our country. Period.

Hello i am Singaporean

Singaporeans used to ride on the roads because pavements are off limit for bikes. Now cyclists lack a pair and yet behave arrogantly.
Wow u look like startrek
