Bishan Park cycling


Took the bicycle out to Bishan Park for a spin and 
I managed to snap a few rustic photos on the way.

It was rather therapeutic to literally just stop and observe the flowers. A few people probably thought that I was crazy to be snapping away, but I was definitely enjoying my quiet alone time.

The park has definitely changed over the years. There are now man-made streams with fishes in these water bodies. There is also a popular dog park and a handful of playgrounds for the kids. And because of all this, it is no surprise that the park is so insanely packed on a weekend evening. The human traffic made cycling smoothly a tad bit difficult. I had to brake every 10 meters to prevent myself from crashing into a toddler or a dog.

But on the flip side, the popularity of the park, is a testimony to how good and user friendly it is. I would definitely like to cycle back here again and have a nice thirst quenching break at McDonalds or Grub, but I'll probably do so on a weekday evening when it is less crowded.
