In the midst of all the hi-tech cars, vehicles and the pollution, there is one segment in Singapore that thrusts on the benefits of green environment and also on the benefits of cycling.

In Singapore, to push the green technologies and also raise more awareness about the possible energy solutions, earlier Green Transport Week was organized by the Singapore Environment Council, which is now christened as G1. The event aims to encourage the citizens to move towards a ‘greener Singapore’. Further, as a part of the same the Government has also pledged to reduce the carbon emissions by 16 % in the coming ten years.

One eminent person of the G1 event is Mr. Muhammad Rezal Ramli, who is geography teacher. However, setting an example for his students the learned teacher peddles on a cycle, which he uses as a mode of commutation.

Using the bike to commute for the last three years, before the Sunday's Singapore G1 event, the teacher said, "Cycling is a more effective way than most because it is something which can be a daily activity. I don't tell my pupils that with cycling you can single-handedly save the planet, so to speak, but you can certainly make a small, significant contribution”.

Another eminent Pediatrician, who is also an enthusiastic cyclist, is Janil Puthucheary. Optimistic about the approach, he claims that in the future greater number of people would switch from four wheels to only two.

The latest awareness wave definitely exudes that cycling is the new fad in Singapore.
