SINGAPORE: Six bicycle rental kiosks have been set up in four parks along the 42-kilometre Eastern Coastal Park Connector Network.
Bicycles can be rented from one of these kiosks and returned at any of the other five pitstops.
The kiosks or pitstops are located in East Coast Park, Telok Kurau Park, Sun Plaza Park and Changi Beach Park.
Bicycle rental rates range from S$5 per hour for an adult bicycle to S$10 for a tandem bicycle, comparable to charges at other bicycle rental kiosks.
Depending on the popularity of this service, two more pitstops may be set up at Bedok Town Park and Pasir Ris Town Park.
The National Parks Board said it may provide similar facilities in Singapore's six other park connectors when they are completed.
