Best cycling route - cycle all forever.



Here is an extract from this site talking about best cycling route. For those of you following the Bukit Brown Development and our work with SOS Bukit Brown. 

  "Best for history and nature: Bukit Brown and the Green Corridor
We couldn't decide between these two. The cemetery of Bukit Brown, for its utterly unique and rich heritage record of Singapore's early settlers; or the Green Corridor, once a historic railway, now repurposed as a strip of hidden park running north-south from Woodlands to Tanjong Pagar. But one thing's for sure: both are peaceful, quietly atmospheric, and rich in natural beauty. Get there before that magic is gone. "
