Bukit Timah BikeTrail Maintenance

Singaporean mountain bikers love to bike….and talk. However, how often do we come across a conversation relating to "trail work" or concepts such as designing, building and upkeeping of biketrails? Do we know who maintains our bike trails and how much effort goes into it? How many of us know that the Bukit Timah BikeTrail (“BT Trail”) is so precious because it runs along the fringe of the last remaining primary forest of Singapore? Are these mere “ideas” or can we get into the thick of things and get our hands dirty?

From cradle to the end of its useful life, a trail requires maintenance. A trail is useful to those that use it, and mountain bikers are one group of users who can only stand to gain from well maintained trails.

We are grateful that our BT Trail is currently maintained by the National Parks Board (“Nparks”). Occasionally, race organisers would clear the paths before a big race, or the odd biker or trekker would take the initiative to move obstacles from harm’s way. Previous trail maintenance sessions organised by trail loving bikers have no doubt benefited mountain bikers and broadened their outlook on trail and trail maintenance in Singapore. We hope to continue this good tradition to offer you the first BT BikeTrail Maintenance project for the year.

The dates for this year's trail maintenance sessions are :-
