Car Free Sunday for Families

Car Free Sunday for Families and this is our third trip, click for our trip One with 6 bikes and Two Telok Ayer experiences.

This time round, we brought everything except the bikes πŸ™‚

Ok, someone is a bit emo and refused to pose, but we put our shoes, skateboards, blades and scooters to good use. Mommy took the opportunity for some pre Chinese New Year hair treatment hee hee.

Boon Xin is still trying to roller blade, and I end up being her pillar around Padang! (not that I mind).

Sports and Market, souvenirs and F&B options. Love the various activities and sports try out, dodge ball and tennis was especially popular πŸ™‚

As CNY was near, there was a handicraft section too.

Electric ride has a nominal fee, but rickshaw is free (please provide own leg power).

We were there when round 2 of #CarFreeSundaySG was launched (photos here), visited the alleys of Telok Ayer, temples and even Ang Siang Hill. You can do mini cafes hopping too, as some shops were opened earlier to add to the vibes.

Beautiful Blue Sky and white fluffy clouds, a few panos to capture Civil District’s stunning skyline.

Kids love Car Free Sunday SG, where else can we “jay walk” safely, without getting summoned :p

We truly enjoy the “freedom” on the roads, safe from vehicles.

Car Free Sunday has a lot of activities for Families. You can run two loops for 10km, stretch with Yoga or pump up with Zumba too. Lunch at Maxwell Market always sound tempting.

Car Free Sunday Singapore normally occurs on the last Sunday of every month, and the next session will be on 26th Feb (details http://ura.sg/carfreesundaysg ).

Hope you will enjoy Car Free Sunday for Families and some car-lite moments too πŸ™‚

Millennia Kids Challenge 2016, cycling

[ Media Invite ]

We did not hesitate when we got an invitation to join Millennia Kids Challenge 2016, we had enjoyed our 2015 5km ride experience πŸ™‚

Millennia Kids Challenge 2016 was both fun and sporty, and it offered another opportunity for families to bond through active lifestyle. It helped that the events was organised in our neighbourhood.

Let’s go! 9 km around our neighbourhood. Overall a nice fun cycling gathering, but I would have prefer more marshals (or perhaps closure of one lane).
Some kids struggle up slopes and bridges, and might stray into another lane. It can be hard to manage the group when we are crossing traffic junctions.

Perhaps we can consider PCN (Parks Connector) to Waterway Point and back next season (8km)

Someone had to detour and left us after 6 km :p

Millennia Kids Challenge 2016 allowed families to participate in obstacles challenge (confirm less tiring then Spartans) or go for a 9km cycling route. The “obstacles” include tennis, soccer and Aqua challenges too!

Nutritional meals, Sports and tobacco free, these are good starters to keep fit and stay Healthy. I always tell the kids cigarette is super expensive, they can buy a Happy Meal (ok, perhaps fast food not the healthiest too, everything in moderation hee hee )
