A great way to kill off time before departure at the airport while releasing your serotonin and endorphins
Happy Healthy Bike Lane的点评
点评:I had a flight to catch (6 hours of waiting) and decided to release some happy hormones rather than getting depressed waiting for hours at the airport.
Stored my luggage at the airportel (pls check the posting) at the airport and took grab to the Happy Healthy Lane. Once arrive, head to the SNAP office. Best to register upfront online prior to arriving so that you don't waste too much time there. But otherwise the staffs will assist you to register the SNAP account. You will get a SNAP bracelet. You need to preload the bracelet with cash at the vending machines available at this office block. Be aware that these reload machines are only available here and once you enter the track, you will not see any.
Once you've loaded the SNAP, head to the bicycle rental building. Get your pre-booked bike and pay with the SNAP bracelet. There is a OPEN shelf where you can store your items, free of charge. Changed my cycling gear and left my clothes here.
I read somewhere that you can bring your own cycling shoes & (even cleats) and the staffs can install them on the bikes for you. I forgot to ask them though.
Head to the starting point and you'll need to scan your SNAP at the gates - not sure if the 4 hours of rental time starts here or immediately once you receive the bike though.
1 round is approximately 23km. Toilet/rest area is available at approx km 5, 10 & 15. Vending machines (drinks) are available at all these 3 places. But BEHOLD.... SNAP CANNOT be used here. WTF.... you need to pay via Alipay or QR codes which your bank may or may not be able to access. Really wished i knew about this earlier coz i topped-up the SNAP with extra cash thinking i can use it here.
Ended up paying cash to another visitor and used this Alipay instead. Thank goodness.. Be aware that they do not allow the PET bottles to be brought onto the track - you either finish them or transfer into your drink bottle.
I managed to do 2 rounds and call it quits as it got too hot. Head back to the office and returned the bike. Asked around and was directed to a public bath next building. Paid using SNAP (and it was not cheap, but justified).
Ended up with a lot of balance in the SNAP account. Should have loaded it with just enough amount to use.
There are a lot of convenience stores and food court in case you want to eat. Took the grab taxi and headed back to the airport.
Overall, so happy i did this. Not sure when i can repeat this though and it seems the money is wasted in the SNAP. If given a chance, i will repeat and bring my own water bottle, cycling computer, cycling shoes etc. (BTW they provide the helmet).
Hope it helps.
翻译:我要赶飞机(等了 6 个小时),我决定释放一些快乐的荷尔蒙,而不是在机场等上几个小时而感到沮丧。
在机场将行李寄存在机场酒店(请查看帖子),然后乘车前往快乐健康通道。到达后,前往 SNAP 办公室。最好在到达之前提前在线注册,这样你就不会在那里浪费太多时间。否则,工作人员会协助您注册 SNAP 帐户。您将获得一个 SNAP 手环。您需要在该办公楼的自动售货机上用现金预充手环。请注意,这些充值机仅在这里可用,一旦您进入跑道,您将看不到任何充值机。
充值 SNAP 后,前往自行车租赁大楼。拿上您预订的自行车,用 SNAP 手环付款。有一个开放式架子,您可以免费存放您的物品。换了我的骑行装备,把衣服放在这里。
我读到过一篇文章,上面说你可以带上自己的骑行鞋和(甚至鞋钉),工作人员可以帮你把它们装到自行车上。不过我忘了问他们了。
前往起点,你需要在门口扫描你的 SNAP - 不确定 4 小时的租赁时间是从这里开始还是从你收到自行车后立即开始。
一圈大约 23 公里。厕所/休息区位于约 5、10 和 15 公里处。这 3 个地方都有自动售货机(饮料)。但请注意……这里不能使用 SNAP。WTF……你需要通过支付宝或二维码支付,你的银行可能无法访问这些二维码。真希望我早点知道这个,因为我用额外的现金充值了 SNAP,以为我可以在这里使用它。
最后我付现金给另一位游客,用的是支付宝。谢天谢地……请注意,他们不允许将 PET 瓶带上赛道 - 您要么喝完它们,要么将它们放入饮料瓶中。
我设法骑了 2 轮,然后因为天气太热而放弃了。回到办公室并归还自行车。四处打听后,被引导到隔壁大楼的公共浴室。使用 SNAP 付款(虽然不便宜,但物有所值)。
最后 SNAP 账户中有很多余额。应该充入足够的金额才能使用。
如果您想吃饭,有很多便利店和美食广场。乘坐 Grab 出租车返回机场。
总的来说,我很高兴我这样做了。但不确定我什么时候可以重复这样做,而且似乎 SNAP 的钱被浪费了。如果有机会,我会再来一次,带上自己的水瓶、自行车电脑、自行车鞋等。(顺便说一句,他们提供头盔)。
希望它有所帮助。
