Overview

Four hours, one licensed local guide, a bicycle, and most of central Singapore squeezed into a single loop. Bike Around Tour Singapore runs this ride from a meeting point at 20 Republic Avenue, next to Nicoll Highway MRT Station Exit A, setting off at 09:00. Riders are asked to arrive 20 minutes early so the bikes can be fitted. There is no hotel pickup, so everyone makes their own way to the taxi stand where the tour starts and finishes.

Stops are short and free, roughly five minutes each at most spots and ten in Chinatown and Little India. Comfort on a bike in busy streets matters more than fitness.

Groups cap at 12 travellers. The tour runs rain or shine, with disposable ponchos handed out if the weather turns, and the included list covers the guide, the bike and an optional helmet on request. Insurance, tour coverage and hotel transport are not included. Solo travellers and riders in their seventies appear in the reviews, and a few recommend booking it early in a trip to get bearings before exploring further.

What To Expect From The Tour

This is an easy, flat ride with lots of short stops, but it happens on busy city streets, so a little preparation goes a long way.

Riding skill. The pace is gentle and several reviewers describe the terrain as flat, but the listing requires competent urban riding, and one reviewer noted you need to be comfortable steering around pedestrians, traffic and tight spots. Anyone who cannot ride safely can be refused, with no refund.
Heat and sun. The listing tells you to bring sunscreen and a bottle of water. One reviewer specifically mentions hydration stops along the way.
Photos. One reviewer mentions a guide taking photos and sending them afterwards. Ask at the stops, since the group pauses regularly throughout the ride.
Luggage and helmets. Luggage storage is available but must be arranged by email in advance. Helmets are also included, but only if you contact the operator or note it in the special request field when booking. Do not assume either is automatic.
Group feel. The maximum group size is 12. Reviews from solo travellers and riders in their seventies describe a manageable pace with frequent stops.

One reviewer flagged that busy city streets demand constant attention around people and cars. Anyone who cannot ride safely may be turned away without a refund, and changes or cancellations inside 24 hours of the 09:00 start receive no refund.

Common Questions

What Is Included In The Price?

A licensed local guide, use of the bicycle and a disposable poncho are included. A helmet is also included if you contact the operator in advance or indicate it in the special request field. Tour insurance and hotel pickup are not included.

Where Does The Tour Start And Is There Pickup?

Hotel pickup is not included. Everyone meets at 20 Republic Avenue, Singapore 038970, at the street level taxi stand outside Nicoll Highway MRT Station Exit A. Note that the MRT station is named after the highway, and the address is not Republic Plaza. The tour starts at 09:00 and finishes back at the same point.

How Fit Do I Need To Be?

Reviews describe the riding as easy and flat, with frequent stops, and one couple in their seventies said they managed comfortably. However, you must be a competent rider in an urban area, since the route crosses busy streets with pedestrians and traffic. The operator can refuse anyone unable to ride safely, with no refund.

What Should I Bring?

Sunscreen and a bottle of water are the two items the listing names. If you need luggage storage or a helmet, arrange both with the operator in advance rather than on the day.

Does The Tour Run If It Rains?

Yes, it is a rain or shine activity and disposable ponchos are provided. If you want to cancel for a full refund you must do so at least 24 hours before the 09:00 start time, based on local Singapore time.

Are Entry Fees Or Food Extra?

Every stop on the itinerary is, so there are no entry fees to pay during the ride. Food is not listed as included, so budget separately if you want to try anything at Lau Pa Sat or in the neighbourhoods you pass through.
