Singapore Changi Airport is now offering free bicycle rentals for transit passengers.
Passengers who have a minimum layover of 5.5 hours and a maximum layover of 24 hours in Singapore will be able to enjoy complimentary access to bicycles for two hours. The long-year campaign “aims to introduce passengers to a suite of outdoor offerings”. Passengers can explore outdoor attractions in the airport’s vicinity, including the Jurassic Mile and nearby beaches along Singapore’s East Coast.
The Changi Airport Connector cycling path that links to Singapore’s wider park connector network allows visitors to explore a diverse range of local sights such as the Bedok Jetty – a popular fishing spot, the East Coast Lagoon Hawker Centre and nearby residential neighbourhoods such as Bedok and Siglap.
Passengers with more time to spare and are keen to venture further can pay to extend the bicycle bookings to enjoy more local sights and sounds at their own pace. To help passengers make the most of their time, Changi Airport Group has mapped out four different routes lasting two to six hours. Each route recommends experiences that will appeal to different interests, from appreciating local culture and cuisine to exploring the rustic charms of a quaint part of Singapore.

This initiative represents Changi’s endeavour to delight our passengers as they fly through our airport or visit Singapore. We hope our passengers could experience the tropical outdoors of our airport and its unique surrounding attractions beyond the indoor terminal offerings.
said Mr Ang Siew Min, Senior Vice President – Airport Operations Development and Airport Operations Services, Changi Airport Group.
Passengers can book their bicycle in advance, either on Changi Airport’s website [https://changi.me/free-bicycle] and on the Changi App. Upon landing, passengers could proceed to the GoCycling bicycle rental facility at Hub & Spoke (next to Terminal 2) to start their ride. One thing to note here is that passengers will also need to clear immigration and have an entry visa for Singapore, if one is required.
Upon completion of the ride, at the bicycle return point at the airport, pay-per-use shower facilities and an alfresco café and bar are readily available, making it convenient for passengers to refresh and recharge before their onward journey.
