New pathways in Singapore aims to promote active cycling

In recent years, the popularity of cycling in Singapore has skyrocketed. You should expect more bikers on the roads today, particularly with the upcoming park connections, in addition to the already popular riding routes like Singapore Round Island Loop, Mandai Loop, and Seletar Loop.

Meanwhile, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been working to improve connections to keep Singapore’s active travel environment safe and sustainable as part of the Islandwide Cycling Network (ICN) plan.

To ensure the convenience of cycling enthusiasts, the government of Singapore has committed to developing the island-wide bike pathways under the ICN to over 1,300km by 2030.

Why Singaporeans and Tourists Love Cycling

Biking around Singapore is a fantastic way to get fresh air and see more of the city, including some lesser-known spots. Numerous nature bike paths can be found across the island, perfect for any Eco-tourists among you!

The most excellent part about riding a bike in Singapore is that you can do it whenever you choose. Night-time cyclists may take advantage of well-lit routes, including food stops where you can unwind and eat.

Don’t worry about not having a bike; just rent one!

The most excellent part about living in a small nation like Singapore is that you can reach any of the city’s many cycling routes with little more than a day’s worth of pedalling.

You may always hire a bike from a shop conveniently located along your intended path if you don’t have your own.

But what if you own a bike and want to ride it but don’t feel like making the additional effort to ride the long distance to the meeting place? 

Bike Transport in Singapore

In Singapore, obtaining a vehicle large enough to transport bikes or other bulky equipment can be challenging. To protect your bikes, you should select a service that can deliver them safely and without incident by well-trained pros, giving you peace of mind.

When do you require Bicycle Transport in Singapore?

  • If you plan to go cycling alone or with family and friends to a cycling route far from home.
  • If you and your loved ones plan on taking bike rides together on an outing.
  • If you get a flat or your bike is not working correctly, you need it brought to a bike shop for repairs.
  • If you have a customer anywhere in Singapore who needs a bicycle delivered.
  • If after hours of cycling, you may be too tired to haul your bicycle home.

Is there a service available to arrange pick-up?

To save the day, some companies will come and pick up your bike. A bicycle transport service is the most convenient way to transport your bikes from one place to another in Singapore.

Maxicab Transports Bikes in Singapore

Bikes can fit in seven, and thirteen-seater taxis that Maxicab offers. It is a good idea for you and your riding companions to load up all your bikes at one spot (additional stops cost extra). The service is offered 24/7, which is the best part.
