This stage of the igus:bike world tour took us on a ride through Singapore’s most iconic cultural spots, showcasing the city’s vibrant heritage and charm.
We began at Arab Street, surrounded by colorful shophouses and bustling shops, with the majestic Sultan Mosque as the centerpiece. The golden dome glistened under the blazing sun, which pushed us to take a well-deserved break at a nearby café for a refreshing iced tea.
From there, we cycled through the creative hub of Haji Lane, filled with quirky boutiques and stunning murals, before heading to Bugis Junction, where modern malls meet old-world charm.
Parliament House
Potato Head
The route continued through the Civic District, where we passed landmarks like Parliament House and the towering skyscrapers of Raffles Place, symbolizing Singapore’s growth and progress. At Clarke Quay, the calm river and iconic bridges gave us a moment to pause and soak in the city’s quieter side.
In Chinatown, the energy picked up again as we explored heritage streets, stopping briefly at the chic Potato Head on Keong Saik Road, a modern take on a historic shophouse.
Sultan Mosque
Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
Our final stop was the breathtaking Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, where the intricate architecture and peaceful ambiance brought the day to a perfect close. This ride was a celebration of Singapore’s ability to blend the old with the new. Along the way, RCYL turned heads and sparked conversations, serving as a reminder that sustainability and innovation can coexist with tradition.
