Using own bicycles or renting

If you want to use your own bicycles, make sure your heels (NO tip-toeing) can firmly rest on the ground firmly when you sit on them. You can then decide to have the cycling lessons at your preferred places, eg. near your houses or offices. However do take note that I will need a training ground at least half the size of a basketball court. Look around your areas where we can possibly use pavilion halls, basketball courts, multi-story car parks, etc. If you are not sure, you can send me some pictures and I can tell you whether the ground is suitable for cycling lessons. If the suggested grounds are crowded, we will have to look for alternatives as we also have  to consider the safety of other users.

Cost of renting bikes will be absorbed by students.

Using shared bikes (Anywheel and HelloRide) for my cycling lessons.

One of my cycling lesson requirements is learners’ both heels must firmly touch the ground when sitting on the bikes. Some of my students who were about 165cm tall used shared bikes for their learnings. Look for a shared bike around you. Adjust the seat to the lowest and sit on it. Make sure you are able to fulfill this requirement if want to use shared bikes. HelloRide has lower seat and is lighter.

To use these bikes, you need to install the respective shared bikes’ APP in order to rent (unlock). Find and unlock a shared bike prior to the cycling lesson. Do not wait till the lesson then frantically searching for a bike. There will be no time compensation if students show up late and they will still be charged as full session.

Dear students/parents,
If you want to use your own bikes or shared-bikes, please seriously take note that both your (or your kids’) heels MUST FIRMLY touch the floor when sitting on the bicycles bare foot. If not, you will need to borrow or rent. I have encountered some overlooked this requirement and bring along a big bike.  Please also make sure the bikes are in good cycle-able condition. Don’t bring one with broken brakes or punctured tyres, and expect me to produce magic. Please check the bike’s condition a few days before the lesson so that we can have productive training.

Rent at bike stations (Punggol Park, Jurong East, Pasir Ris Park, East Coast Park)

You can rent at bike rental stations Punggol Park, Jurong East, Pasir Ris Park and East Coast Park. I will meet you at the bike rentals and choose a suitable bike for you. Lessons will be held nearby.

Cost of bike rental will be adsorbed by students. About $8-$15 per hour depend on bike models and weekday/weekend. Some bike rentals have rent-1-hour-get-1-hour free promotion for weekday.

I am not connected to any of the bike rentals and I don’t get any benefits for bringing students to rent their bikes.

Punggol Park

If you are driving, you can park at Blk 454 Hougang Ave 10, the bike rental is just across the road. The nearest MRT station is Buangkok. Bikes will need to be returned by 6:30pm.
