Firstly roads in Singapore are very very crowded, small island
There are 2 popular routes that cyclist use, the Kranji look and Round the Island
I would suggest jumping on a group that starts in the morning, its hard to explain the route as it is not one straight one. where you from? ANZA is popular with the expat community with plenty of rides, you will make friends

Last year you’d find nice size groups roll out early mornings headed North on Upper Thomson. Usually meet up in front of Pacamara coffee shop. 2-3 hours at solid speed. But with the new UT line going in I have no idea if it’s still an option. I’d call The Bike Shop there just North of Marymount and ask opinions.

Getting in before anyone else.... your best beer option post-ride is a $4 Anchor Strong tallboy found in markets

Cheers

Chiro,

I am assuming north to Malaysia? Als is the UT line a LRT? Great to know about the beer, I will certainly do that.

North up around Sembawang - Woodlands then back down around Seletar. You can't cross the causeway into Malaysia on bike. And no, the new Upper Thomson line will be a full MRT running from Woodlands into Orchard then out to East Coast Park.

I'll check with my old flatmate who still lives and rides regularly there what he's up to these days, then get back to ya.

Cheers

Not true - you cross on a bike at Woodlands not Tuas.

While you are there, it is worth going to Bintan to ride as well, its an hour ferry trip away and quite popular...little traffic, what a relief after you experience riding in Singapore. The terrain is also more interesting as it is undulating vs pan flat in Singers
Enjoy your experience
