Older estate like jurong is not a planned estate. Cycyling track were added recently due to high demand. Pls pardon our small space in singapore, u might nt see a perfect cyclign track around the island but we r improving.
100 Plus was created in Singapore in the 80s to celebrate the 100th birthday of the soft drinks company Fraser and Neave (F&N). It’s spread around the region in the last 30ish years.
I love how clean it is and how safe it looks for cycling and walking it shows you that you can cater for cars bikes pedestran and trains. which is pretty impressive. I like the green fields their as well
This video is just a joy to watch with a beer relaxing after my long day at work. No honking, beeping, or unnecessary stress. It's so nice to see you riding with the proper respect you deserve as a cyclist and a talented RUclipsr. We're all lucky here that you continue to make stellar content. Singapore definitely is on the list of places for me to visit now.
Love your videos mate I'm from Australia and have just started my own youtube channel with some rides on my ebike. Keep up the great videos they are awesome to watch and inspires me to make more content 😀 thank u
Welcome to Singapore, glad you guys are here to experience riding on the pcns.. been following your channel. ☺️ If you are still around,try out the seletar airport area trail that can link you to Yishun and punggol if you have time to explore North Eastern area of sg.
Thank you for this video. I enjoyed it. Really nice to see your experiences in different countries. Makes me feel as if I were there. 😁 Singapore looks nice. At least on these videos so far. Thanks again. 🙏🏼🙂👍🏼
really glad you enjoyed the cycling infrastructure in singapore. Its good when there isn't that many people using the cycling paths Its scary when you go to punggol or east coast.
Welcome to Singapore! It's funny as I been watching and following your Japan rides as guide when visiting Japan for years but even now when you visit Singapore I am actually learning from you too as a Singaporean cyclist haha! I never cycle at Jurong Lake area before! Very nice to see you two cycling with @妮妮江ninijiang too have fun in Singapore with the very easy rides 😀 You can try out simple trail rides by renting a mountain bike and ride at Coney Island if you have time for a different feel of Singapore.
Thank you! 😃 Japan can be tricky to navigate by bike if it's your first time, but Singapore was very straightforward even though this was our first ride without any serious planning.
Not a bike destination, but if you want to learn about Singapore’s architecture and infrastructure, check out the URA center with exhibits on how Singapore works. The huge scale model of Singapore is great to see. You’ll hear about Pulau Ubin from locals as a place to mountain bike. Plus Maxwell Hawker Centre is a great place to grab a meal. The Red Dot Museum will be a nice break from riding if you appreciate design. All in close proximity.
The Singapore vibe is so cool. So relaxing, unlike (don’t let Thuong read this) Vietnam cites. I get anxious watching you guys biking around there. Singapore is just perfect 👌
Many people took up cycling during the covid lockdown when exercising was still allowed. That's why there is an explosion of folding bikes now. 12 years ago, when I got my first folding bike, they were not popular, and choices were very limited. And with the PCN being built and expending, it has made exploring the island a breeze as so many places are connected now.
We're glad your enjoying your stay ..I'm sure you have a lot of followings here and eager to meet u in person, hope u can organize a bike n meet that would be fun😀
Welcome to Singapore. I will look out for you on the road. Cycle in the east side, There's a lot more to see I think. Maybe ECP to Changi Village. That is a classic ride here in Singapore.
Very nice video. I can imagine you both enjoying Singapore very much when it comes to riding. Especially since there is no noise from motorbikes like in Vietnam. One thing I noticed, and I was on the look out for while watching . . . no trash anywhere. That's awesome. It would seem, then, that people there are careful in following rules. Nice to see. Looking forward to your big ride around the country. That should be fun. Enjoy your stay in Singapore.
Singapore is so clean. I think the bike paths along major thoroughfares is really essential. They did a great job. No one would ride along the cars. Any plans to move there, even if temporary? It looks like a wonderful place to live. Let's discover Singapore, 80's style Thuong-san! Let's go!
22:06 - 😆 But seriously, Thuong-chan's English is really coming along! Ganbatte, Thuong-chan. Glad to see you're enjoying Singapore. Hope it all goes well for you.
Hi guys, hope you are enjoying your stay here. Just a thing about the cycling culture here. Our paths are really mostly shared paths even though there are dividing lines and stuff. It will be quite common to see pedestrians walking on cycling paths and cyclists riding on walking paths etc. I don't think you need to ring the bell or use the horn or anything. Most cyclists here will slow down and navigate past pedestrians even if they are walking on the cycling path. Nobody likes a beep on the road or on the path. Right?
The most I hate while cycling is drain cover bang.. I always try to avoid it as it scares the pedestrians.. I wish drain cover could have some kind of sound dampening, I know it's too much to ask.. any tricks from other cyclist?
Footpaths are meant for pedestrians only and not for bicycles which are vehicles. But locals are tolerant to share footpaths with cyclists. It’s best for cyclists to dismount and push your bicycle while on crowded footpath. It is good practice to alert pedestrian ahead of you to ring your bells or announce “sorry, excuse me”
Marina Bay to Changi Village using PCN along the coast is a very good ride , scenic & good food at Changi Village hawker center. You can take your bikes & get on the MRT ( trains ) to anywhere u want, buses too - it's allowed.
@@TwoWheelCruise Yes I saw your clip, that pretty Singaporean cyclist can show you other hawker centres ( not food courts ) plenty in Spore, food is good & prices fair. If time permits go Sentosa Island & in the evening try Spore River
Your tour on the folding bikes looks so much fun. Singapore is beautiful and clean. They sure have the right idea with bike and pedestrian paths. We live on Maui. I could see a cycling infrastructure here similar to Singapore. I'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos of your tour.
Welcome to Singapore! I stumbled upon your channel a while a go when I started bike commuting and wanted options for bike bags! Surreal to see you guys riding around my neighbourhood!
Try googling Singapore cycling routes and you will have lots of combination. There is a dedicated strip of road to do some road cycling around East Coast park area. And do try cycling into Sentosa. Free entry for cyclist irrc.
Oh yah, Cruise/Thuong, before I forget, don't forget to go for a evening ride to the Marina Bay promenade (marina bay sands and merlion park) and Satay at Boon Tat street or either Satay by the bay at Marina Barage....Just close to each other....Cheers!
The laws works for us non criminally minded folks. That also means that the basic needs of the people are met - to feel safe. Due to the heat, I ride around midnight and there's nothing to worry about. Kids also the public transport independently from around 7 yo.
So nice to see you cycling in Singapore, been watching your videos for long and my favorites have been Japan rides.. cool to see you in neighborhood.. may be will bumb into you on next weekend..
You look like you’re having fun! I am not familiar with these bikes but they look like very clear and good copies of the Brompton bicycle I’ve ridden first in New York City and now here in Arizona. Enjoy, theyre fun, comfortable and convenient.
Thank you! Yes, there are a couple different new brands that use the same folding style as Brompton now that the patent has expired. These ones are good quality and we have used them for a year now.
Haha I can see that Cruise is still super excited and high on adrenaline after posting this video, how do I know that? He replied to at least 90% of the comments below 🤣🤣🤣 Just want to introduce a little about SG's unique housing model. 80% of its residents live in public housing (aka HDB flats). When you hear public housing, many people would imagine them to be small, dark and dingy, on the contrary, these are really well designed housing with manicured gardens and shared leisure space. There are shops, supermarkets, schools and sports amenities in the neighbourhood to provide convenience to the residents. The SG gov started the public housing scheme in 1960s, the goal was to house as many people as possible and making them affordable. The flats have 99 year land lease, and technically the gov own the flats. But the gov started a Home Ownership Scheme where they allow residents here to "buy" the flats at heavily subsidised rates and owners are allowed to "sell" the flats in an open market to get capital gain. But the gov is still the eventual owner, it paints the buildings every 7 years, it decides which blocks are to be torn down and manages the cleaning of common areas. The owners don't collectively make those decisions, unlike in private housing where a residents' committee will be formed or a management company will be appointed to handle these matters. Compared to many cities in the world and its long time rival Hong Kong, SG's housing policies have proved to be on many levels above. Unfortunately, things have gone a bit wrong (or to many people, VERY wrong) in recent years. More and more large HDB flats are selling about 2 to 3 times its original subsidised prices to above SGD$1 million. Even smaller ones have seen prices rocketing, many people can't afford them. And if they want to buy directly from the gov, the wait is long because of construction disruptions and a surge in demand. Public housing has become more difficult to afford, further and further away from the gov's initial goal. The gov has reiterated countless times that they are monitoring the situation closely and will take action when necessary to cool down prices. We'll see.
I still try to respond to most every comment when I can, especially within the first day of a new video. Thank you for sharing more information about public housing in Singapore!
While there is a pretty robust park connector network across the island overall, cycling around the older neighbourhoods is still not very conducive. The government only really started to build these cycling paths quite recently in the last 5-10 years so there's still quite a lot of the old pavements that are kinda narrow (which makes it quite annoying to cycle across when there are many pedestrians about) and many of the older neighbourhoods currently have very limited cycling paths/wide pavements. Also some of the pavements are basically impossible to widen due to various infrastructure/old trees that have already been built around them as the government did not originally plan for cycling paths back then. But if you go to many of the newer neighbourhood towns, there are many nice wide pavements built with cyclists in mind. However, they have been widening and renovating many of the old pavements over time so I am optimistic that it will be even nicer to cycle around the country in another 5-10 years time.
Sound like a typical Singaporean who complains alot. I used to ride escooter, electric unicycle, mountain bikes and road bikes. I love our PCNs. It isn’t possible to make wide tracks every place that u want. You have to accept that for some places, we have to stick with the old pavements. How then? Just adjust your thinking and go slow and share the path with pedestrians. What’s the point of complaining or nitpicking about such small stuff?
@@foodmore uh, what? You seem to be the only one complaining 'a lot' it seems. I praised the pcn network right on my first line and said I was optimistic about how much more it can improve with time and made one minor complaint as the pcn network definitely still has issues. Unless you are somehow insinuating the pcn network is currently perfect as it is and no longer needs any improvements?
12:14 Kinda like Thuong speaking in Japanese though, it seems much more natural for her and its nice to see her articulate her thoughts in a language she is comfortable in
Welcome to Sg. Do explore the park connectors, eventually it's supposed to connect the whole island but right now still WIP. Some nice parks to consider riding too...Bishan Park, Punggol Waterways, East Coast - there are park connectors and cycling path where road bikes usually go fast. It's called Tanah Merah Coastal Road - TMCR. You can also try going round island estimated 168km or 128km depending on route you take. Anyway do also explore the street hawker food in and around Sg..
It is a great way to explore Singapore by bike, though some places are still in development of cycling path. Eastern and north-eastern regions have excellent cycling network (park connector network - PCN). In another few years time, probably you can cycle round the island solely on PCNs.
Always cycle here with my family of 4. The entire JLG is about 5km long. I'm now in a train to work with my Pikes as I'm typing. I'll be passing by JLG on my way home tomorrow morning.. If you guys are still around tomorrow morning, could meet you guys at the Marina Bay Sands area..
Welcome to the land of the Little Red Dot. Man,I've been waiting so damn long for the day when you do come over here. Here's hoping that we'll cross paths😁
By the way, regarding your mentioned plans to ride around the island. When are you planning to go for it? (Just curious,because tbh I just wanna tag along😅)
It was a fun route and we learned a lot from cycling here. Hopefully we can organize something during our next trip now that we are more familiar with things.
What a difference a safe cycle track , in a well designed and clean area, free of beeping maniacs, makes to the simple joy of a bike ride together ! Is Singapore that hard to get a visa to live there ? Looks pretty good from here !
I think it should not be difficult if you have a proper job and visa sponsor, but I don't think they have many options for freelancers who aren't married to a local.
Some of the things I like are… Everything looks very clean and well maintained. The street signs are like those in the U.S. and mostly in English (thus making the learning curve easier). The traffic looks orderly. The bikes seem perfectly suitable for the riding that you did. For casual and exploration purposes. Always nice to have convenient storage too. On another note, the saddle that Thuong was riding looks more conforming than yours. How was it?
Welcome to Singapore! Hope you have a good ride and exploration here. And cool video! Do you mind sharing where you bought your mounts, especially the phone mount with the mini compass? Thank you!
*sometimes it's freezing at night when riding on the PCN and when it's raining it can get cold at night visit Singapore on December when it's cooler* 🇸🇬
I just retired in the US and would like to travel that city looks great, I have been to Japan and the Philippines both were excellent but for different reasons, I follow a singer in the Philippines and he has a RUclipsr channel and he rides his cool ebike
It's worth a trip! It's very similar to cycling in Japanese cities, though with more/wider cycling paths, but without the hills/mountains. Haven't been to the Philippines yet, but I imagine it's similar to Vietnam roads.
not seen it on utube bro, don't be surprised that you will be the first .. Hopefully all the park connectors will be open for you to do so as they may sometimes be closed for maintenance .. Will still be something meaningful nevertheless i guess ...
I've been riding this bike for about a month ruclips.net/user/postUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.
I love the commentary so much. What do you mean by it's illegal to use the horn in Japan though? Also, from the last video. What's the difference with those fancy wheels with the tri spokes or something?
Its the four local languages for all notices and information board 1. Malay the national language 2. Mandarin 3. Tamil and lastly 4. English There's no Malaysian language in Singapore, they represents the country Malaysia its citizen.

Places you should check out: Marina Barrage, East Coast Park, Tuas Lampost 1, Seletar Camp, Changi Jurrasic Mile and Pasir Ris Park.
This video is just a joy to watch with a beer relaxing after my long day at work. No honking, beeping, or unnecessary stress.

Thank you so much! It's been a nice change of pace for us as well.
Marina Bay to Changi Village along coastal area is one of the best ride. You can go up the MRT ( trains ) with your bike to every where
Sadly this was closed when we went there.
Glad to see both of you've enjoyed the ride under the sunny sun in Singapore! :)
Thanks! 😃

Always fun to explore by bicycle.
Singapore is an absolute joy to visit. The folk are friendly. The food is tasty and the streets are clean and green with trees. Love Singapore ❤
based on my experience, singapore is one of the most developed city nation in the world. the people or the infrastructure. 👍 love from Indonesia

@@TwoWheelCruise Yes I saw your clip, that pretty Singaporean cyclist can show you other hawker centres ( not food courts ) plenty in Spore, food is good & prices fair.
If time permits go Sentosa Island & in the evening try Spore River
What a lovely day you had! Singapore looks like a very bicycle-friendly city.
You should know better than to go traveling without a towel!
This was our first time traveling without moving all of our possessions in years 😅

@@foodmore uh, what? You seem to be the only one complaining 'a lot' it seems. I praised the pcn network right on my first line and said I was optimistic about how much more it can improve with time and made one minor complaint as the pcn network definitely still has issues. Unless you are somehow insinuating the pcn network is currently perfect as it is and no longer needs any improvements?
Enjoy your rides in Singapore Guys but do stay alert even when cycling on the pavement. Good Luck.
Thank you! 😃
12:14 Kinda like Thuong speaking in Japanese though, it seems much more natural for her and its nice to see her articulate her thoughts in a language she is comfortable in
Just keep following the brown signages like these 5:02 5:32 8:32 8:38 so that you can continue cycling on the PCN.
Thank you for your tips!
Welcome to Sg. Do explore the park connectors, eventually it's supposed to connect the whole island but right now still WIP. Some nice parks to consider riding too...Bishan Park, Punggol Waterways, East Coast - there are park connectors and cycling path where road bikes usually go fast. It's called Tanah Merah Coastal Road - TMCR. You can also try going round island estimated 168km or 128km depending on route you take. Anyway do also explore the street hawker food in and around Sg..
Thank you for your suggestions! That will be very exciting once the full network is complete.
the blue and gold color combination is gorgeous!
Your videos are always great 👍 , great content 👏 keep up the good work thanks for sharing the video
Thank you! 😀
It is a great way to explore Singapore by bike, though some places are still in development of cycling path. Eastern and north-eastern regions have excellent cycling network (park connector network - PCN). In another few years time, probably you can cycle round the island solely on PCNs.
Thank you for the information! Excited to see how it develops.
If you may have time, go for central catchment park and chestnut trail and bukit timah trail for MTBs.
Thank you for your suggestions!
Cheap, simple, perfect
Lovely Scenery in Singapore. Thanks for Sharing
Visit Little Guilin At Bukit Gombak MRT. You wont be disappointed :D
Always cycle here with my family of 4. The entire JLG is about 5km long. I'm now in a train to work with my Pikes as I'm typing. I'll be passing by JLG on my way home tomorrow morning.. If you guys are still around tomorrow morning, could meet you guys at the Marina Bay Sands area..
Awesome! Unfortunately we’re back in Vietnam now but will be back!
@@TwoWheelCruise glad you're safe back home. Hope you've had an enjoyable trip! See you guys around when you're back in 🇸🇬!
Welcome to the land of the Little Red Dot. Man,I've been waiting so damn long for the day when you do come over here. Here's hoping that we'll cross paths😁
Yes, we've waited a long time to finally be able to come 😃
By the way, regarding your mentioned plans to ride around the island. When are you planning to go for it? (Just curious,because tbh I just wanna tag along😅)
I think you can ride on the old Bukit timah rail road .
Hi TWC, if you got the time: do visit the well-known Jurong Bird Park in the west also--before it close down in early Jan next year if not mistaken.
Thank you for your suggestion
Always following your video giving so much information thank you so much
Thank you 😀
its possible to cycle to changi airport from east coast park through jurassic mile then you can take the mrt home haha
Next video 😉
Hey there cruise..your singapore cycling videos reminded me of your cycling tour in taiwan...
Yes, we felt many similarities here. Can't wait to go back!
Welcome to Singapore!
Thank you!
Welcome to singapore 🇸🇬. Signs are mostly written in 4 languages: English, Chinese, Malay, and Tamil.
Thank you!
Singapore looks very nice 😃
We quickly fell in love.
Wow! Hope you enjoy your stay in Singapore mate!
We had a great time, thanks!
Nice to see you guys enjoying Singapore
Thanks! 😃
Greenerys along the way ridings.
LOL.... I just did this route .... going home after work. 😅😅😅😅
U guys the best! Hope to ride with u guys nxt time.
MOBOT westgate is the best location of MOBOT shop.
No worries Guys....we r sorry for the lack of info. around that area. Actually u guys were on the right direction before u took that turn.
It was a fun route and we learned a lot from cycling here. Hopefully we can organize something during our next trip now that we are more familiar with things.
I like the handle bar extension😊
Us too!
Welcome to Singapore. Ride safe.
Thank you! 😃
Looks fairly chill so far.
What a difference a safe cycle track , in a well designed and clean area, free of beeping maniacs, makes to the simple joy of a bike ride together !
Is Singapore that hard to get a visa to live there ? Looks pretty good from here !
I think it should not be difficult if you have a proper job and visa sponsor, but I don't think they have many options for freelancers who aren't married to a local.
Beautiful video, thank you!
Our pleasure!
Glad you enjoy Singapore!
We really enjoyed it, thanks!
Never had a chance to explore Singapore , but that will happen , some time soon !
It’s a great place to explore!
I like your bikes that you hired, I have a funny feeling that you might move there on a permanent stay, fingers crossed 🤞
We're definitely gonna come back for some longer stays.
12:40 you should definitely have a picnic in one of those immaculate parks, as long as it's legal over there
Looks like a lot of fun
@@TwoWheelCruise Can consider botanic gardens if you want to picnic :)
Some of the things I like are… Everything looks very clean and well maintained. The street signs are like those in the U.S. and mostly in English (thus making the learning curve easier). The traffic looks orderly. The bikes seem perfectly suitable for the riding that you did. For casual and exploration purposes. Always nice to have convenient storage too. On another note, the saddle that Thuong was riding looks more conforming than yours. How was it?
Yeah, all of that was great! Her saddle is more comfy than mine for sure, but I don’t mind more firm saddles
Welcome to Singapore! Hope you have a good ride and exploration here. And cool video!
Do you mind sharing where you bought your mounts, especially the phone mount with the mini compass? Thank you!
Thank you! They were included on our rental bikes from Mobot, so I think they might sell them.
Splendid roads and scenery.
*sometimes it's freezing at night when riding on the PCN and when it's raining it can get cold at night visit Singapore on December when it's cooler* 🇸🇬
Thanks for the info, good to know.
I just retired in the US and would like to travel that city looks great, I have been to Japan and the Philippines both were excellent but for different reasons, I follow a singer in the Philippines and he has a RUclipsr channel and he rides his cool ebike
It's worth a trip! It's very similar to cycling in Japanese cities, though with more/wider cycling paths, but without the hills/mountains. Haven't been to the Philippines yet, but I imagine it's similar to Vietnam roads.
wonder how singapore get all the money to build the infrastructure. amazingly clean and bicycle friendly
Make sure you grab the chance to be the first Utuber cycling duo to finish all the park connector n other major biking trails here ...
🤳🤳✨🎉
Surely someone has done that already?
not seen it on utube bro, don't be surprised that you will be the first ..
Hopefully all the park connectors will be open for you to do so as they may sometimes be closed for maintenance ..
Will still be something meaningful nevertheless i guess ...
@@TwoWheelCruise Hopefully you can go cycle at Sentosa n film your adventures there too
I've been riding this bike for about a month ruclips.net/user/postUgkxwC0IIeIomGQVeBWg-kKJaToZkLEFIA2W and a half now and I think it's fantastic. It helps me get to work on time every day since I'm able to fit it inside of public transportation rush hour. The price is great too, people are always shocked when they ask me how much I paid for the fold up and I tell them "200". It's easy to fold and installation when it ships is insanely easy. All you have to install when the bike arrives is one foot pedal, everything else is done for you. I do recommend you carry some sort of wrench to tighten any loose screws on the handle bar and seat whenever they get a little bit loose. Other than that I think it's a fantastic bike. Easily fits in the home, can fit inside a car trunk and can even fit in subway rush hour.
I love the commentary so much. What do you mean by it's illegal to use the horn in Japan though?
Also, from the last video. What's the difference with those fancy wheels with the tri spokes or something?
Check out our cycling laws in Japan video, I go into more detail there. The trispoke wheels are carbon, so lighter and faster and cooler looking.
Tou can try to go rower bay and seletar aerosoace where everynight there are ppl doing loops.
Thanks!
amazing. very informative. how not to SUBSCRIBED! keep it up!
Its the four local languages for all notices and information board
1. Malay the national language
2. Mandarin
3. Tamil and lastly
4. English
There's no Malaysian language in Singapore, they represents the country Malaysia its citizen.
Thank you!
On a scale of 1 - 10, the route you have done is probably on the low 3 end. Hope you go to the East Coast and Gardens by the Bay route soon. ;-)
Yes, it got better and better as we explored more.
