I have been a passionate cyclist for many years and I brought many oversea and local friends to cycle along Singapore rivers to Marina Bay. There was a time when my wife told me why not you bring tourists to cycle to instagrammable spots that they usually can't find from tourist attraction promote flyers. I was like "wow that's a good idea".
