I see many of my residents cycling around the neighbourhood and using the active mobility infrastructure in Tampines. I usually share these 3 simple tips with my residents on how they can secure their bikes safely in public places: 1. Secure your bicycle in bicycle parking facilities, such as bicycle racks and bicycle parking boxes 2. Use good quality locks such as a U-lock 3. Engrave permanent identification marks on the body of your bicycle Alternatively, consider using a shared bike. They are easy to use and very convenient. Just remember to park the bicycle in a designated parking area after the end of your trip. #WalkCycleRide #activemobilitySG https://www.instagram.com/p/CFhANL3H1vb/?igshid=hcyp6jwbfdi9

Coming soon: 18km of cycling paths in Woodlands and 12km of cycling paths in Choa Chu Kang. LTA awarded a tender today to build these paths and expand our cycling network over the next few years. Once they are completed, residents in Woodlands and Choa Chu Kang will be able to enjoy safer and more convenient journeys – greater accessibility and connectivity between homes, MRT stations, schools and other key community amenities on #WalkCycleRide modes. While some cycling path projects may be delayed by a year due to COVID-19, we will press on with our goal of tripling our cycling paths from 460km to over 1,300km by 2030. Lifestyle changes to adopt more walking, cycling and other green ways to travel look to be shaping Singapore’s future land transport. #WalkCycleRideSG #SafePaths #activemobilitysg https://www.instagram.com/p/CFRkJiBnKzA/?igshid=tmr0bq5p4864

We all know cycling is a good form of exercise but #DidYouKnow that it can also help us to age well and walk better as we grow older? These are some of the findings in a new study done by exercise scientists. That said, my personal view is that some physical activity, no matter how small, is good for our overall health and fitness. So even if it's cycling to dabao lunch, or walking to the MRT station, make it count. These are good starts to doing longer cycling rides and brisk walks. https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/ride-more-to-age-well-walk-better (link in bio) #WalkCycleRide https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5_X2vHjU9/?igshid=1bt4apasfaxfd

Cycling is a great way to keep fit and to explore Singapore! There are many scenic routes in Singapore that are best experienced on a two-wheeler, and here are some of them. 🚲 https://thehoneycombers.com/singapore/cycling-routes-singapore-east-coast-pulau-ubin-marina-bay/ (link in bio) If you know of any scenic cycling routes, share them with us and leave a comment. #WalkCycleRide https://www.instagram.com/p/CEjaWG3H_cg/?igshid=l8q93bzh5c3j

How do we stay active and healthy while leading busy lives? Some of you shared your suggestions with me and fellow members of the HealthySG Taskforce at engagement sessions held earlier this year. We announced the Taskforce's recommendations for all Singaporeans today. Here are some of them. SportSG and HPB will be working together on integrated programmes that target seniors, and young working adults in workplaces. A common booking platform for sports and community facilities is also being developed. When ready, you can view and book a wide range of facilities through a single platform. To support healthy lives, LTA will be co-funding end-of-trip facilities like showers and lockers at workplaces, so you can freshen up at the end of your journey if you walk or cycle. #WalkCycleRide is a quick way to leading a healthier lifestyle and taking greater care of our own health. To make walking more comfortable in our climate, LTA will be building another 150km of covered linkways over footpaths by 2040. For cyclists, we will be expanding our cycling path network from 440km to more than 1,000km by 2040. I will be sharing more about the initiatives tomorrow evening at 7pm on Channel 8’s Hello Singapore (狮城有约), and 9am on Tuesday morning at UFM 100.3. Looking forward to a more #HealthySG! https://www.instagram.com/p/B0doFehHISM/?igshid=7o4vwmms0y9l

Singapore - a 45-min city with 20-min towns by 2040, using walk, cycle and ride modes! Joined Ch8’s Hello Singapore hosts Guo Liang and Meilan, and Professor Hsieh Cheng Hsien to discuss how Singaporeans can benefit from the Land Transport Master Plan 2040. What’s coming? New train stations (perhaps even a new rail line!), quicker bus rides, safer street designs and more dedicated cycling paths. Families with young children, expectant mothers, the elderly, and those with special needs will also be glad to hear that we are making our transport system even more inclusive, with priority queues and priority cabin trials being rolled out. The land transport system belongs to everyone. Let's work together to make it more pleasant and enjoyable for all!

The 21.5km-long North-South Corridor (NSC) will be Singapore’s first integrated transport corridor connecting East Coast Parkway (ECP) in the south to Admiralty Road West in the north. I am happy to share that LTA has awarded contracts to design and construct tunnels and commuter facilities for six sections of the NSC. Works on these contracts are expected to begin by end-2019. When completed, commuters, cyclists and pedestrians will get to enjoy the express bus routes and at-grade cycling trunk routes that will help with our #car-lite vision. #WalkCycleRide https://www.instagram.com/p/Brp5XGhh9eh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jsn38b78a8eo
