Singapore
OCBC Cycle continues to see strong interest from the cycling community, attracting over 6,800 cyclists to Singapore's marquee mass cycling event. The newly-introduced mass ride category, The Foldie Ride by Brompton (40km), was launched with leading bicycle manufacturer Brompton to address the increasing interest in foldable bicycles. This new ride category was sold out within the first month of registration, drawing 1,000 participants, with 60 percent of them experiencing OCBC Cycle for the very first time.
Meanwhile, The Sportive Ride (40km) reached full capacity more than a week before the registration deadline. Additionally, the Mighty Savers® Kids and Family Rides gave young cyclists, aged 2 to 12, the opportunity to enjoy cycling alongside others and their family members along Stadium Drive, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Singapore Sports Hub.
The “Teach-a-Child-to-Cycle” initiative, the event's flagship corporate social responsibility programme, returned for a second year. Professional trainers from the Singapore Cycling Federation, and with the help from dedicated OCBC volunteers, provided cycling lessons to children from less advantaged families supported by Beyond Social Services, Care Corner Singapore and SportCares. Sports retailer Decathlon sponsored the bicycles and cycling gear for these young participants.
Malaysia
More than 2,700 cyclists – the largest turnout to date – thronged the cityscape of Kuala Lumpur on a Sunday morning for the seventh edition of OCBC Cycle KL. Participants from all walks of life and backgrounds were flagged off at the Dataran Merdeka and rode along a 21km stretch of closed road in the heart of the city.
Cyclists had the option of participating in either a 21km ride, or a 42km ride, the latter involving completing two loops of the event route. Young cyclists also joined in the excitement, navigating a shorter course using push bikes.
Macau
The 2024 OCBC Macau Charity Family Cycle Parade, held at Taipa Waterfront, garnered an overwhelming response, drawing numerous cycling enthusiasts and families. In celebration of 'International Day of People with Disabilities', beneficiaries from Caritas Macau Lar Sao Luis Gonzaga were specially invited to ride together at the event. All registration fees collected were donated to charity organisation Caritas Macau. We also sponsored Macau's first Cycling Instructor Course to enhance the development of cycling and coaching.
