What a Great Way to See the City - What a fantastic 3hr cycle tour with Gene around Singapore. Firstly, they ensure that the bike is set up correctly for you and you test the bike on a short ride. The route is very safe and all off the roads. Gene has all the knowledge, history and fun facts. What a great way to see the city.
