Yeah I think I was on the slowest gear most of the time. I think my bike had seven. And you're correct! No other place puts English and Malay road names in the same area. I've cycled from East Coast Park to Changi Beach Park in an hour (compared to three and a half when walking)

I haven't been to the bird park yet. But thanks for mentioning it, I'll have a look (on a bike if I can )
