East Coast Park

This entry is 2 weeks overdue. In the effort to spend more quality time with the girls, hubby and I decided to take them out cycling at East Coast Park. See, I was told by my gynae to avoid exercise and such due to my low-lying placenta. But I really want to join my girls as I want to spend time with them. Cycling is a form of exercise, so I had to ensure that I do not tire myself out. So what better way to do this than to rent a Quadricycle/Quadracycle.


It seats 5 adults and 2 kids. 2 adults cycle while the 2 kids sit in the front. The cyclist on the left is the one who steers and brakes. Thus, I was seated on the right. The best thing about this is that the whole family can cycle together, especially when you have small children and they cannot cycle on their own. Then next best thing is, if one adult is tired, he/she can take it easy while the other cyclist pedals...heheh...that was what happened in my case. I think hubby really burnt some fats that day. The only disadvantage is that the bicycle does not have seat belts so I would not recommend it for kids below 18mths. Unless of course your children can sit still.
We rented the bicycle from here:



Shop Name: Our Family Corner
Address: Carpark E2, East Coast Park
Rental charges: $30 for 1st hour, $50 for 2 hours

They also have 6 seater bicycles but I didn't check out the price. We were on the waiting list to rent the quadracycle as all were already rented out. We had to wait about 30 minutes so we sat around and ate ice-cream.

When we got on the bike, we cycled around. We went to Bedok jetty. The girls had fun of course. We returned the bike at around 5pm. We saw kites in the shop and bought one. It cost $15 together with the thread. It was easy to fix. There was open field just next to the shop and we flew the kite there. The girls have always wanted a kite and thus it was a dream come true for them.



After kite-flying, we were famished and headed to the East Coast Park Lagoon Food Village which was near Carpark E2. We had our dinner of satay and bbq chicken.



Thereafter, satiated, happy but tired, we headed home. The girls fell asleep in their car. But before she dozed off, Auni did tell us to take her there again.
