Great weather and my boys were anticipating the first ride of the year &#8211; first time for them to ride all the way from Geylang East to Great World City. Most of the routes were along the scenic Kallang River and Singapore River. To reach Kallang River from Geylang East, we had to use pavements and a few segments of small streets. Luckily the streets were quite and safe.<\/p>\n<p>We were attracted by a lion dance rehearsal in front of the Central Mall, later we decided to have brunch in the mall. From the 4th floor of the &#8220;Dinning Room&#8221; Food court, the shop houses looked like colorful toy houses arranged neatly along the Singapore River. The boys still want to go further and we also need to do some shopping so we cycle further to the Great World City at Kim Seng Road. I waited outside to have a coffee while looking after the bikes. Sharon and the boys went to do the shopping. <\/p>\n<p>After that everyone was tired so we took a Taxi directly from Great World City back home, with 4 folding bike in the trunk. <\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t realize we&#8217;ve seen so much along the way until I reviewed the photos:<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 380px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
