This has been well-thought of for the people, i.e. cycling. Business executives, ladies in suits, gentlemen in ties, cycle to work too, and not forgetting school boys and girls.
It takes us a perspiring 10min to walk 1km but it takes us just a breezing 10min to cycle 5km. This ease of accessibility is of great help to potential business entrepreneurs: firstly, it means more patrons and secondly lower rental (less competition on proximity). Also, for people who cycle regularly, they are definitely exercising more than those who drive everyday!
Anyway, it is tough to practice work cycling in Singapore; don’t even think of trying it, it’s too dangerous. Our listed transport establishments or related parties needed our financial support.

Eunice… love your post bout Japan… And yes, you will never get lost on their subway =) good system huh!
BTW, it seems like your friend toured the local japanese hang-outs, with the female/male passions!
We toured different place, but yeah, I will blog about it pretty pretty sooooon!
LOL yeah! He watched those AV DVDs in the nude theater! Can see that his photos were not taken in touristy places. Sure, I am looking forward to your posts on Japan! 😀
Very nice photoes. Thanks for sharing what you found during your tour in Japan. What you said about work cycling in Singapore, I happen to live around Tampines, and I cycle to work in Changi Business District everyday. It’s just that the regulations are still sketchy right now. I got fined once around Expo because I’ve cycle on the pedestrian path, (which I did everyday for the last 3 and a half years working here!) Some of the ang mo got angry when I ring. They probably still have the mindset from their homecountries.
