Is it an uphill journey to turn Singapore into a cycling city?

[SINGAPORE] Imagine this: You’re heading to work, but you’ve missed your bus and the next one won’t arrive for another 10 minutes. A nearby bicycle provides the solution – you scan its QR code and kick off, following a cycling path to the nearest train station.

There, you scan another QR code when parking the bicycle, and then you’re on track to reach the office with time to spare. Easy. But could this ever become the default commute in Singapore?

Bike-sharing has been growing in popularity here, driven by improvements in route infrastructure and accessibility of the vehicles.
