Road cycling in Singapore is a balance of excitement and safety. You experience the wind in your face, the thrill of speed and the freedom to explore the island, but there is also the issue of traffic.
One way to cycle on the road safely is in a peloton – a group of cyclists riding together in tight formation. Riding as one, peloton cyclists look out for one another, often using hand signals to communicate directions.
To get the most out of road cycling, a visit to an experienced bike fitter should be considered.
It may sound like overkill for beginners, but it is an essential part of achieving a comfortable ride and minimising strain on your joints. This is crucial for longevity in the sport.
