Dear bikers,

Thank you for taking the time to come down to Shimano to collect your racepacks!

For those that have not or could not come down yesterday, we will be having another round of collection in our school, Nanyang Technological University, for the few of you that did not make it for yesterday's Racepack Collection on Monday (2nd Mar) and Tuesday (3rd Mar) from 4pm-9pm! We will send reminder emails and sms tomorrow to those that have not collected their racepacks with further details on our location in NTU!

Also, all racepacks have to be collected in advance and we will not allow anyone to collect it on our Event day.

Also, for those that collected their racepacks, do check if you received the correct BIB for 88km or 168km respectively from today's collection. If you indicate on the registration sign up that you're using your own bikes, the tag should start with 'P'. If you previously indicated that you're using rented bikes, the tag should start with 'R'. If you did not receive the correct one, you can notify us or come down to change it on the dates above!

Thank you!

ABOUT US

BIKE RALLY IS BACK ONCE AGAIN!

Bike Rally is a national event proudly organised by NTU Sports Club. It is a non-competitive island wide cycling event which aims to promote cycling as a sport and encourage healthy living among Singaporeans. On this very day, hundreds of cyclists from all walks of life will gather and cycle together throughout the specially crafted routes of either 88km or 168km, where they will enjoy the exquisite scenery of the central business district, farm ways and HDB heartland areas. As we cycle around Singapore, we highlight the increasing presence of cyclists on our roads today and at the same time, promote road safety practices. Whether you're an avid or novice cyclist, it does not matter. Bike Rally has always been organised to cater to cyclists of different cycling expertise - beginner, intermediate and professional and there will be no exceptions this year.

NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY (NTU) SPORTS CLUB

NTU Sports Club was established in 1991 and is currently led by its 24th Management Committee for the Academic Year 2014/2015. NTU Sports Club aims to promote an array of sport activities both in NTU and to the public, as well as to establish a harmonious working relationship with the 21 sub clubs under the wing of NTU Sports Club. To keep in line with these objectives, NTU Sports Club organises annual school events such as Street Challenge, Sports Exposé and Sports Unlimited. In addition to these 3 school events, Sports Club hosts three national events; namely Surf N Sweat, Bike Rally and National Vertical Marathon. These events serve as a platform to raise our profile in NTU and the local community.

rUNNINGHOUR

For the 11th year running, Bike Rally 2015 will be collaborating with Runninghour, an inclusive running club that promotes integration of people with special needs. This organisation aims to promote and provide support to persons with special needs in physical recreation and to provide opportunities for persons with special needs to interact with their peers, something Bike Rally will aim to achieve. On the 8th of March, Bike Rally will see participants from Runninghour cycling in tandem, alongside with the rest of the participants. This Bike Rally will definitely be an exciting and meaningful one!

Runninghour Club was founded on 18 April 2009 with the aim of providing an avenue for mildly-intellectually challenged youth to participate in sports and integrate. About a year later, it became a part of the Healthy Lifestyle Club of Central Singapore CDC. In 2012, the club expanded to include visually challenged runners. Recognising that the club has the potential to create a positive impact in more lives, Runninghour decided to form a co-operative in May 2014. Runninghour Co-operative Limited can continue to do good, but it looks forward to doing well and to stay sustainable by further enhancing its programme. Currently, it has 200 active members and 11 people sit on the management committee including four who are visually challenged.

Besides organising inclusive running events, the co-operative holds regular sports activities such as weekly runs, tandem biking and dragon boating for Intellectually Challenged Runners (ICR) and Visually Challenged Runners (VCR). It is supported by a group of volunteers, sighted guides and buddy runners. The runners will participate in existing races held in Singapore at least once every two months to further enhance members’ running experience, rebuild self-confidence and self-reliance as well as promote the cause of Runninghour Co-op.

Runninghour is a President’s Volunteerism & Philanthropy Award 2014 (Informal Group Category for Volunteerism) recipient.
