Oh sorry, I didn't know what is the park connector. My apologies.bgd wrote:He did say park connector which is shared use.

Should we bring our own bicycles?
I started this some time ago as this misconception is pretty persistent. Now this thread made me finish it. It is mostly for motorcycles/cars though. Enjoy.zzm9980 wrote:You just described predictable things they do (and to be wary of) to make my pointmaneo wrote:The only thing predictable about the drivers here is that they are unpredictable. They will turn left into the driveway you are about to cross and without any hesitation. They will pull out into the intersection you are crossing as if you are not there. Lorry drivers and bus drivers think you should be on the sidewalk, so they won't give you any room as they pass.zzm9980 wrote:Road riding is do-able if you've done it in any other major non-bike friendly city in the world. While people drive terribly in Singapore, they're also fairly predictable and it's not terribly hard to ride defensively.
It's Singapore, not Vietnam or India here. I guess the perspective really matters based on where one grew up and rode previously.

A few of the park connectors are NOT suitable though. For example the one along the Kallang river has overpasses every 1km or so which require you to carry your bike up stairs over the road you're crossing.AnnJolie123 wrote:Thank you all for your responses! Will be bringing them along. It's only £44 shipping per bike and we do cycle a lot here in London which should has its own issues in terms of traffic. Love the idea of using the park connectors for a longer bike ride!!!
