Is the cycling community in Singapore open to a random guy tagging along? No friends? No problem. Today, I will find out if the cyclists here welcome me to draft behind them.

I love the video. Myself I do not dare to ride my bike on the roads, I prefer park connectors as the infrastructure and the driving culture is not really bicycle friendly in Singapore. But in group it must be safer!

[@delsonchong]

It's safer and the experience is better to ride in a group. Try it one day!

[@alyong1452]

I believe it is good manners to ask if tagging along is OK as others and yourself are not familiar with each other's riding habit so it can pose a danger to yourself and others.

I do cycling on the road as a mountain biker.but i used to pick time when there is almost no traffic

[@baguskrishna9218]

i want go to sg and do the round the island route :(
what good place to stay? i mean the one not far away from the route. The road looks intimdating and complicated for me

[@delsonchong]

Hi, you can consider staying in the central area like Chinatown, Geylang, or the Eastern side of Singapore. You will do the round island in a counter clockwise direction. This is much preferred as you will find more rest stops towards the end of your ride and probably more cyclists to draft. Thanks for your comment!

HI nice video. Question on the part 1:17, is it cruising speed 35-38kph? or 35-38kph Average Speed?

[@delsonchong]

It should be the average speed. I vaguely remember my speedometer showing at least 38kmph along this short stretch. Strava calculates the average speed for the entire stretch, including the distance before and after the dam road section. Thanks for watching!

[@HH-xy8lc]

@@delsonchong Thanks for the feedback. Do you mind I add you in Strava?

[@delsonchong]

There's some personal details there, maybe next time if I decided to post more cycling related videos. 🙏

[@HH-xy8lc]

@@delsonchong No worries. all good. You have a great ride.

[@chrisohh5612]

Dont you try to TALK to any of them?

[@delsonchong]

Didn't have the chance to, they are all too fast 🤣

[@joeteo6536]

be careful if u tag with angmo riders, some of them are very grumpy.

[@delsonchong]

Luckily, those riders who I met are welcoming. I always thank them for allowing me to tag onto when we parted ways 😊

[@jeremyemilio9378]

Not really tbh I find them more friendly. What they don't like I find is if they pull and you dont

[@christopherlow9238]

@@jeremyemilio9378 hahaha nobody likes to pull all the time

[@Shadowx_blade]

i also have no one to ride with😔

[@delsonchong]

Just go out on a weekend morning and you can find many friends to cycle with~

[@Shadowx_blade]

where u usually ride at

[@delsonchong]

I usually do the Eastern loop, including TMCR and back using the same route. I find the Eastern side of Singapore nicer to ride on hah. When with friends, we'd do half or full island.

[@Shadowx_blade]

where u live i live so far away💀

[@cvpiguy]

i can relate to you HAHA

[@delsonchong]

Thanks for watching!

[@weesenglim5904]

Please edit your video to not show riding groups with more than 10 riders. You know how car centric FB group like to use such videos to bash cyclists.

[@delsonchong]

Thanks for the suggestion! I will take note of it next time.

[@yianyeo8619]

I oso no friends, where can I find a cycling community 🥲

[@delsonchong]

There are a few cycling communities open to new members. You can check out MBG or KCC.
