The best bicycle routes and nature biking trails in Singapore to explore!
Cycling in Singapore has really been picking up over the past few years! Other than popular cycling trails like East Coast Park and Macritchie Reservoir, you’ll be able to see more cyclists out on the roads now, especially with all the new park connectors coming up.
Besides being a great form of exercise, you’ll also be able to explore more of Singapore on a bike, including some locations that are off the beaten track. For the nature lovers out there, there are also several nature biking trails across the island to get acquainted with!
The best thing is, you can do it at any time of the day. While not all cycling trails are suitable after dark, we pick out those cycling routes that are safe for night cycling to unwind after a long day and even for a supper stop!

If you don't own a bike or if you're not up for the challenge of putting in those extra kilometres to the meeting point, you can always rent a bike that's nearer to your planned cycling route.
