Woodlands Bicycle Route 1

Sharing my cycling route for the day which is an easy 7km ride (loop) from my place in Woodlands with nearly no elevation/climb. Had a bit of errands to run thus this pretty un-sexy route. To make it easy, let's just set the start point as Woodlands North Plaza.


First stop, I needed to go to the bike shop. Rodalink was a natural choice since my bike was from there. Plus, I haven't visited their new Woodlands outlet yet! But it's past 4pm so it has closed for the day. 

I rode over to 888 Plaza where I visited the neighbourhood bicycle shop instead. The uncle tuned my brakes for free! Thank you!

From there, I decided to go to the Police Centre nearest to Admiralty MRT station via Woodlands Ring Road rather than to follow the MRT tracks. Riding by Woodlands Ring Road offers less human and road traffic. Easy ride.


Despite owning my road bike for several years already, I have yet to register it with our local police. Therefore today's visit was to register my Polygon Helios 300 completed with Shimano Tiagra 18-speed system. A handsome, good entry level road bike. So I got its security label done in less than ten minutes. 

After which had a short stop over at Admiralty MRT station to grab a cup of taiwan green tea with basil seeds from Gong Cha =) Too had to resist.

Had wanted to head to Woodlands Waterfront which is about 3km away via the park connectors, but the sky was gloomy so I had a stopover at this new discovery - chinese temple to watch and see how to proceed. The temple is located opposite the driving centre, in the industrial park. Same stretch as Sheng Siong supermarket.

Paid respect to the main shrine and secondary shrines. Started drizzling thus it was clear that the plan to head over to Woodlands Waterfront is off. Headed home straight before the rain pours.


On the way home, discovered another bicycle workshop at Woodlands Auto Hub which I can visit next time.


Stay healthy, ride more! =)
