The best way to enjoy the 26km trail is in the evening when the sun is setting over the west. And the good news - you can rent a bicycle if you do not have one either at
- Punggol Point Park in the north - map link; bus no 84).
- Punggol Park in the south - map link; bus nos. 62, 74, 113, 119, 147, 74E; 80, 82, 87, 88, 89, 119, 89E, NR6)
The map below (click to enlarge) shows you the locations of these bicycle rental kiosks, thanks to Trina Chua from NParks for the information.
Both bicycle rental kiosks are open; timings:
- Tue to Fri from 2pm to 8pm and
- Sat and Sun from 9am to 8pm.
Note that you have to return the bicycles from the kiosk you borrowed it from, i.e. they are independent of each other. A leisurely 26km ride with stops might take 3-hours (there is a 15 km/h speed limit), so do plan your ride well - come by the park and rent your bicycle by 5pm if you intend to take in the sights and grab some photos.
Now, get on that bike and ride!

Druthers Bike Rental
Singapore is a small sunny island, and with cycling you can cover so much more places! All the attractions, hotels and shopping malls are located within easy cycling distance.
Having a bicycle gives you the luxury to explore anywhere easily, where no public transport can access as well as places where it is too far to walk. Druthers has chosen folding bicycle because it allows user to easily navigate in traffic, access shopping malls, eateries, public transport and even bringing back to their own hotel rooms!
Night cycling is strongly encouraged because you get to enjoy cooler breeze with less traffic around, and also getting mesmerized by the amazing night view of Singapore city being lighted up by the skyscrapers.
Druthers hope to promote a greener and healthier way of exploring. Let's help to make the world a cleaner place!

We were at punggol point two days ago, we saw a few tandem bikes there at the bike rental next to Giant mart. . Hope it helps.
Great article! Other than these traditional rental shops, there's a new alternative on the scene.

Cycling is so popular in Singapore, young or old, male or female, a simple hobby, exercise or sport, and most commonly as a means of transportation and many other useful ways. Me personally, a 61 year old man residing at Yishun, and a diabetic for that matter, loves cycling. I go cycling primarily because I truly love it and with my condition I absolutely need the exercise to at least help maintain my sugar at a manageable level. Well, the main reason why I am writing this is to ask if 'there is any great plan of creating a Coastal Cycling Trail around the entire island in conjunction to all the PCNs?' I was just thinking, it would be a great experience, a great trip, a great thing in every sense, although on the reality part, I know it is a very ambitious project. I was just expressing my views, and I hope this idea is not offensive to anyone. Thank you.
