Introduction to cycling on Singapore
roads
Welcome to Singapore!
If you are planning to ride your bicycle here in
Singapore, you need to be aware of the local road
rules and regulation. This is mandatory for you if you
want to have a safe and pleasurable ride here in
Singapore. So PLEASE take your time to read and
understand these road markings and signs, and we
hope you have a great time riding here.
Check your gears
There are a couple of items that you need to wear or
have on your bike to legally ride on Singapore roads.
These items are:
• Helmet
• Front lights (white color)
• Rear lights (red color)
• If you don’t have rear red lights, rear red reflectors
are also acceptable
Make sure that you and your bike are fit for riding.
Also, Singapore roads are mostly well lit and well
maintained, but the motorist here sometime are not
aware that cyclist are permitted to be on the road.
Where to safely ride
The best rule to use when you’re cycling on the road
is to ride about 1 meter away from the road
markings on your left. This is to give you space in
case you need to avoid potholes, manholes or
motorist that are too close.

Where to safely ride
Another method is to imagine your lane to be
divided into two. After that, imagine a line that cuts
across that new imaginary lane. That’s where you
want to be riding on. Whatever method you choose,
always ride defensively.
Where to safely ride
Different from other motorists, bicycles are allowed
ride on bus lanes. BUT, only ride in single file (not
side by side) during bus operating hours. You can
ride two abreast (side by side) during non-operating
hours. Below are examples of what a bus lane looks
like:
