Local Links

These are some cycling websites in Singapore

Cycling in Singapore
An cycling activist blog. Issues, views, solutions and opportunities for transport and urban cycling in Singapore. Shows how European countries have benefitted from their pro-bike policies.

Safe Cycling Task Force
Although this website has not been updated for some time, it contains many important pointers on safe cycling in Singapore. This group has also responsible for the road signs warning users of cyclists along Upper Thomson Road, Old Choa Chu Kang Road, and towards Changi Village, among others. (So you now know what SCTF stands for!)

Singapore Amateur Cycling Association
The authority for cycling events in Singapore. Organizing races such as Individual Time Trials (ITT) and Team Time Trials (TTT) in Punggol and Changi to select the national team.

Singapore Cycling
Jan Boonstra is from the Netherlands and has been cycling in and around Singapore since 1998.
Rick Ross from the USA has been teaching at the Ngee Ann Polytechnic since 2003. Together, these two individuals have produced an invaluable site full of information about cycling in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Not only are the usual destinations such as Batam (Barelang) and Pengarang covered in depth, more off the beaten track places such as Lingga, Singkep which many have not heard of are also covered. An excellent guide.
