Is it Safe to Cycle at East Coast Park?

May 20, 2008 – 11:48 am

Dear Mum,

I know you are worried whenever I cycle at East Coast Park.

Thanks for caring Mum, but see? East Coast Park is bright as day with lots of people around - camping, barbecuing, cycling, skating, jogging, dating.

I pedal on the smooth cycling track along the beach. The cold sea breeze and the waves crashing to shore gives me a sense of freedom and rhythm.

The end of the cycling track is a little quiet, but I’m here for only a few seconds before turning back.

There is absolutely nothing to worry about.

I Cycled from East Coast Park to Bedok Town and Think I’m Still Alive

April 14, 2008 – 8:41 am

Last weekend, I wanted to cycle at East Coast Park but Nic said it’s too dangerous to get there by bike while Lennie said I’ll never be able to finish all 20km. Hm!

Then, Nic offered to cycle the bicycle there for me while I drive there with Kero Khoo. What a sweet surprise.

We met at Bedok Jetty where Nic & Kero acted like long lost lovers. They went off to McCafe, I went off to Changi Beach.

This weekend, I wanted to cycle at East Coast Park again. Nic dropped me and the bicycle off at one end of ECP, I rode till the other end before heading home by myself.

Now that I’ve tried the route out, I don’t think it is dangerous at all. I didn’t need to get on the road, there’s a bumpy pedestrian walkway for cyclists to use.

There are tough bits though.

From the top of the pedestrian bridge. Which way\'s home again?

After crossing over this highway via a walkway above it, I need to go all the way down, even into a pedestrian underpass under this highway via a steep flight of stairs.

I’m going to hit the Publish button now. If this post appears on my blog, I didn’t die!
