Central Urban Loop
A heartland grand tour: 36 km of connectors through Bishan-AMK Park and down the Kallang River to the city fringe.
Singapore’s postcard ride: an easy 11 km night loop past Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay and the Merlion.
Every landmark you have ever seen on a Singapore postcard, in one flat lap: Marina Barrage’s rooftop lawn, the Supertrees of Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands, the Merlion across the water, the Esplanade’s spiky domes, then over the Barrage with the sea on one side and the skyline on the other.
It is best after dark, when the light shows fire up and the promenades cool down. Parts of the waterfront are dismount zones. Walk the busiest stretches by the Merlion and you lose nothing, because this is a ride for gawking, not for speed. Ideal for visitors and date-night rides.

Open Route in Google Maps needs nothing extra. It opens the Maps app (or website) with the whole route already plotted as pins, ready to cycle. The GPX download is useful if you navigate with an app like Komoot or Strava, or a Garmin/Wahoo bike computer. On longer routes Google may smooth a corner or two, since it draws its own path between the pins; the map below shows our fuller route line.
