Bikes n Sights
On the little tropical island of Singapore, there are historical sites, nature trails and cultural landmarks to explore. Many of these sites lie beyond the city center, and away from the more well-known tourist hot-spots.
Now, you can explore these interesting sights at a leisure pace, via a well-connected network of cycling and pedestrian paths called the Park Connector Network (PCN). From its inception in 1992, the idea of the PCN was a simple one, connect all parks and green spaces with a network of paths and trails to provide easy access to recreational spaces for all residents and visitors to enjoy. Today, the PCN spans the width and length of the island with over 300km/186mi of dedicated paths used and enjoyed by cyclists, joggers, pedestrians and nature lovers.
The PCN brings you to places and sites which may be difficult to access by major forms of transportation, public transportation included. Many of these sites are almost forgotten, due to the rapid urban and economic development gripping the country. But with a bicycle as the mode of transportation, you will be able to explore these historical and cultural sites at a leisure pace. You will experience a completely different view and perspective of the urban landscape and its life, all at an unhurried pace. Make it a point to explore the PCN in your next visit to Singapore.
So let us bring you on a journey to the historical, natural and cultural sites of Singapore. Our riding programs offer you an immersive experience of the local life, instead of the glossy tourist programs. We have selected a number of sites which will appeal to those who are interested in the country's history during WWII, and to nature lovers, an appreciation of the Garden City being progressively transformed into a City in a Garden.
We are constantly on the lookout for new sights to be included into our programs. Should there be any sights which you have in mind and which is not yet offered in our programs, do contact us directly and we will be happy to discuss and tailor a unique program for you.
