What better way to discover Singapore than on an eco-friendly bike. Here are 3 suggested itineraries to help you see and experience the city.
Discover the REAL Singapore on our Singapore City route. Visit a typical residential town and watch the people go about their daily lives. Check out a market frequented by locals. Eat like a Singaporean; sample local snacks and drinks at a ‘coffeeshop’. See old and new HDB (public housing), as well as multi-million dollar riverfront ones. We meander alongside the Singapore River – where trade brought life to the sleepy village town in the 1800s. See historically important landmarks, such as a 100-year old fire station, museums, and places of worship. Of course we’ll pay homage to the statue of Sir Stamford Thomas Raffles, founder of modern Singapore. Learn how the 2nd World War affected Singapore and see monuments in honour of the many who suffered. Understand the melting pot of people from all over the world living here. Fast forward to the present and be awed by the ultra modern business district. Be right in the action as we cycle right along part of the Formula 1 route (sorry the bikes can’t go 300km/h though).
Wanna sample the local food but don’t wanna gain inches? Join our Bike & Bites Tour! Cycle through the streets and taste the local food with our experienced local guide. The 3 main ethnic groups in Singapore are the Chinese, Malays and Indians. You’ll get to eat all 3! We’ll ride to colourful Chinatown, rustic Kampung Glam (Malay Village) and intoxicating Little India! Besides sampling the delicious food, learn how these different races came to live harmoniously in Singapore. Navigate the little streets to discover interesting facts of life in early Singapore. Ride by a temple and be awed by the hundreds of deities! See the home of the Sultan of Singapore. Flower shops, spice shops, food shops, scent shops! Be prepared for a sensory overload! Find out how the streets got their quirky names! Oh, don’t worry about the calories. We’ll burn them as long as we keep on ridin’. What are you waiting for?

If you think the Marina Bay is beautiful by day, wait till the sun sets! Get ready to be awed on our Marina Bay Night Tour! From the Let’s Go shop, get on your bikes (with safety lights of course) and follow your local guide as he navigates the riverfront promenade. We’ll find peace and tranquillity at the Gardens by the Bay. Let the Super Trees tower over you and learn how the Marina Barrage keeps floods at bay. Feel a high tide coming on? Your caring guide will stop for a toilet dash here! For an adrenaline rush, we cycle towards the Singapore Flyer and the Formula One Pit Building. If we’re lucky, we’ll catch a live music performance just outside the Esplanade. Don’t forget to ask your guide about the floating football pitch too! We’ll ride to a part of the business district where trade first started in Singapore over 200 years ago. Marvel at the lovingly-conserved shop houses, hotels and pier; and maybe join in the revelry taking place after your tour! As we head back to the Let’s Go shop, feel the cool breeze along the Kallang River towards the iconic National Stadium. Along the way, you will see tranquil scenery and some of the costliest waterfront homes in Singapore.
