Getting your own bicycle will reduce your travel time, save you money for more BBT, and help you burn off those boba calories as you try to achieve your #fitspo goals once again.
You also won’t have to worry about your bicycle exploding or getting banned from footpaths and roads, unlike e-scooters. What’s more, we’re allowed to bring foldable bikes onto public transport as long as they are within a 120cm x 70cm x 40cm size limit.
Here are a few bicycle shops in Singapore where you can get a trusty ride and officially join the cycling community. If you’re new to cycling, you can also consider checking out our bicycle-buying guide first.

This includes the 2021 edition of the Orbea Ordu M20LTD ($8,089) that has been highly rated by triathletes.
