PEDALFEST Singapore 2023: Bicycle Art, Films, Performances & More
2023-02-11 - 2023-02-12 | Singapore Sports Hub, Singapore
With cycling now Singapore’s third most popular sport behind running and walking*, it’s timely that the Republic hosts the first cycling lifestyle festival in Southeast Asia.
Happening over the weekend of 11 and 12 February, PEDALFEST SINGAPORE 2023 is dedicated to cyclists of all genres; allowing to them connect and meet over bicycle films, sporting programmes, spin activities and challenges, health and wellness talks, upcycling workshops and much more.

“Through PEDALFEST, we hope to celebrate our bicycle culture with the support of the community whilst learning and sharing each other cycling experiences,” explained Lyndon Yeo, Managing Director of Firefly Connections, the festival organiser. “Singapore has an extremely vibrant cycling scene. Aside from on-road or PCN cycling, there is still a lot more like bicycle-related art, upcycling or vintage movements, fund-raisers and more. Cycling is more than a sport. For some, it’s a lifestyle and we intend to celebrate that.”
Extreme athlete turned record-breaking Artist ME set to ‘W.O.A’ audiences

Headlining the packed programme is Azmi Hussin, more popularly known as ME, a famous cartoonist, caricaturist, illustrator and muralist hailing from Penang, Malaysia.
Known online for his inspirational TED talk ‘Art makes ME Fly’ and his Youtube video ‘W.O.A – Wheel of Art’, Azmi will deliver a ‘live’ performance at Kallang using his BMX flatland skills to create a new abstract art piece. Those lucky enough will also get their caricatures drawn by him over the weekend.
MAMIL, a must-watch film for those who love road cycling

Local road cyclists, affectionally known as ‘roadies’, will probably want to bring their Significant Other to catch the screening of MAMIL (Middle Age Men in Lycra) – a documentary about why white-collar professionals transform into lycra-clad road warriors every weekend.
Narrated by legendary Tour de France and cycling commentator Phil Liggett, the film – which premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival – tries to uncover why middle-aged men are so passionate about riding expensive carbon bikes.
Don’t miss Aunt Lotus & Her Dream Bicycle

Starring veteran theatre practitioner Jalyn Han, the Mandarin and Teochew language short film follows the story of Aunt Lotus, a blind grandma who dreams of riding a bicycle again. Determined to fulfil her desire, she constructs an unusual cycling simulation, using nothing but common household items.
This local film written and directed by Kew Lin examines the theme of living with a sense of adventure and fearlessness in order to chase one’s dreams and is a must-watch for festival attendees.
The first rule of CycleFightClub is everyone talks about it
If action is what you need, festive-goers can also sign up for CycleFightClub – a daily eCycling tournament – where riders compete one-on-one using smart trainers. Each day, 32 shortlisted riders will compete in a single-elimination tournament with the last person standing winning $500 cash and an expenses-paid trip to an overseas cycling event.
Upcycling makes a Green Impact at PEDALFEST
In support of the SG Green Plan, eco-friendly practices such as water canisters to allow participants to fill their water bottles will be introduced, while festive goers can also sign up for an Upcycling Workshops to reuse old bicycle rims and parts to create Bicycle Lamp Art to decorate their homes.
Community Engagement and Fun for All Ages

Vintage bike lovers should make a beeline to the Ciclo e Caffe Community Corner to mingle and chat with former champion cyclists and fellow bike collectors.
The PEDALFEST SG Bicycle Photo Booth will also capture all festive goers in their cycling attire over two days. All photos – together with future photos of local cyclists taken all over the island in the next few months – will be compiled into a coffee book that will be launched at PEDALFEST 2024.
Parents with young children aged 6 or older can participate onsite to learn about road safety through Safe Cycling Academy clinics, while adults can enjoy the spin activities using pedal-power stationary bikes to ‘light up the planets’ at the Pedal to the Stars zone.
A day-pass cost S$38 and comes with a complimentary pack worth over S$50 including a limited edition PEDALFEST t-shirt. The first 500 festive goers each day gets to enjoy a cup of artisanal coffee. Tickets are going fast at https://pedalfest.peatix.com/

Cupid Works Out at First Fitness
2023-02-14 19:00 - 20:00 | AIBI Maxwell, 30 Maxwell Road, Singapore, 069114, Singapore
AIBI International, a household name in health, beauty and fitness, believes that Cupid just might strike for some lucky singles at its special Valentine’s Day event – Fitness Speed Dating – at AIBI Maxwell on 14th February.
Open to singles between 18 to 34 years old, Fitness Speed Dating will be an opportunity for fitness enthusiasts to meet new people over a 45min HIIT workout session. There will be an equal ratio of male to females and during the session, participants will get to do cupid exercises with different partners.
Following the session, every participant will get to select which member of the opposite sex that they would like to go out on a date with. If two participants of the opposite sex happen to choose each other, they will win a romantic dinner date.
If more than two ‘couples’ selected each other, then the rest of the participants will select the winning ‘couple’. All other participants will also win attractive prizes from AIBI Maxwell.
“At AIBI Maxwell, we believe that fitness should be a social experience,” explained AIBI’s Chief Executive Pauline Kwek. “We hope that Fitness Speed Dating will be a fun and engaging way to break the ice while literally breaking a sweat to form connections with like-minded individuals. With the popularity of dating reality shows like Singles’ Inferno, we added a little gamified segment to make things interesting and hopefully sparks will fly. In future, we hope to make Fitness Speeding Dating a regular event with different thematic workouts at AIBI Maxwell catering to singles from different age-groups and backgrounds.”
Located at the heart of the Central Business District (CBD), AIBI Maxwell houses six different concepts under one roof – an AIBI showroom, Dr.Well, RE:GYM, Huggs, ONE Physio and an outdoor MW Space that hosts regular sports, wellness and lifestyle events.
Designed to serve as a lifestyle destination for all ages and a vibrant communal space for the Tanjong Pagar residents and business community, the exterior’s fitness corner, dog gym, playground, swings and seating are also open for public use both day and night.

CÉ LA VI with SIFA present SIFA X: LOVE DIVINE
2023-05-26 19:00 - 2023-05-27 22:00 | CÉ LA VI Singapore, Marina Bay Sands, Level 57, Singapore
CÉ LA VI Singapore, the iconic rooftop destination, and the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) are proud to present SIFA X: LOVE DIVINE, an extraordinary performance featuring STILL LIVES (Marina Bay) by Daniel Kok and Luke George and CHILDREN OF VENUS by Queen of Burlesque, SUKKI. Get ready for a three-hour boundary-defying party-meets-art spectacle on 26 and 27 May 2023 at 7 pm in the Club Lounge, set against the backdrop of Singapore’s glittery cityscape, 57 storeys up.
As part of SIFA 2023 organised by Arts House Limited, the evening kicks off with STILL LIVES (Marina Bay), a stunning performance by rope artists Daniel Kok and Luke George, gradually binding a clientele of “High Net Worth Individuals” and/or “Social Influencers”. The durational rope art performance culminates in a suspension of the subjects, against the aerial backdrop, evoking a collective reflection of our relationship with wealth. By throwing the spotlight on a particular group of individuals, audiences are invited to meditate on the spectrum of human experience, in line with the title for SIFA 2023, The Anatomy of Performance – Some People.
After the rope art performance, guests are treated to CHILDREN OF VENUS, an incredible performance curated and directed by SUKKI (previously known as Sukki Singapora). Featuring burlesque trio The Glamourettes, renowned drag artist Becca D’Bus, contemporary sensual performer Francesca Harriman, aerial artist Adelene Chua, and burlesque aficionado Lychee Bye, this performance explodes with sass, taking guests on a journey from fever-pitch to hypnotic sensuality and back again. It embodies the heart and mission of SUKKI’s creative passions – defiant solidarity, freedom of expression and feminist power that transcends labels, all crystalising in her visionary evocation of Botticelli’s iconic birth of Venus.
CÉ LA VI Singapore invites you to participate in Executive Chef Maksym Chukanov’s own culinary theatre with the Parmesan Custard & Jam Brioche, a warm, soft pillowy brioche bun exploding with a velvety salted parmesan cheese and fruit preserves custard. Chef Maksym has an instinct for experimentation, and this exquisite vegetarian-friendly snack complements the two-day electrifying spectacle that leaves guests at the edge of their seats.
LOVE DIVINE is a decadent reverence to evolving art forms. Peppered with CÉ LA VI’s truly signature extravagant flair, it is the art party to catch.
CÉ LA VI with SIFA present SIFA X: LOVE DIVINE
Date: Friday and Saturday, 26 & 27 May 2023
Time: 7 PM
Ticket Price: S$58 Nett – inclusive of 1 Parmesan Custard & Jam Brioche

Great Green Run
2023-09-24 16:30 - 18:30 | Marina Barrage
Sustainability-centric business communication solutions platform, Greenbees and international sports event management company, TriFactor announced the launch of its first sustainability-driven ‘Great Green Run’ today, which is set to take place on 24 September 2023 at Great Green Run’s venue partner, Marina Barrage.
Great Green Run is designed to serve as a platform to rally and inspire individuals, corporations and communities into sustainability advocacy and action. In efforts to promote sustainability, Great Green Run will also be one of the first sporting events to publicly share its carbon footprint and sustainability initiatives report which will be reviewed and verified by the Singapore Environmental Council (SEC). In addition to this, every participant is encouraged to make an individual sustainability pledge upon registration, with options to choose from the five selected United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
5 Selected United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Good health and well-being
S$3

Sustainable cities and communities
S$11

Responsible consumption & production
S$12

Climate action
S$13

Life below water
S$14

The run on 24 September 2023 at Marina Barrage will be divided into two categories – corporate and community run. For the corporate run, more than 2,000 professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) from over 50 multinational corporations (MNCs) as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are expected to participate. Among the notable corporations that have shown their interest are RSM Singapore, CapitaLand, CIMB Singapore, SISTIC Singapore and National Healthcare Group. On the other hand, Great Green Run is expecting more than 3,000 avid and leisure runners to take part in the community run.
CIMB Singapore is the presenting sponsor of Great Green Run. The bank has been an active proponent of the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agenda and is the first ASEAN bank to sign the industry-led, UN-convened Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), a member of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ). CIMB is also continuously stepping up on its sustainability innovation in order to achieve its ambition of becoming a leading ASEAN bank and a sustainability leader. Over the past two years, CIMB Singapore has executed several significant sustainable financing transactions. In 2022, CIMB Group doubled its sustainable finance target to RM60 billion by 2024 after having met its original target of RM30 billion two years ahead of schedule.

“Awareness is the first step to any change. As a leading ASEAN bank, our greater purpose is to advance customers and society towards a sustainable future. We advocate sustainable practices for ourselves as an organisation as well as encourage our people to actively participate in initiatives contributing to positive environmental and social impact. As the presenting sponsor of Great Green Run, we hope to amplify the awareness on sustainability through our network of partners and communities, and to inspire a positive change within our circle of influence on integrating sustainable practices in our daily lives,” said Victor Lee, Chief Executive Officer of CIMB Singapore.
“TriFactor is determined to incorporate and champion sustainability practices in all our local and international TriFactor events, spearheaded by Great Green Run. We are honoured to have CIMB Singapore onboard as our presenting sponsor in our inaugural event in Singapore and to be working together with several key government agencies and sustainability partners,” said Elvin Ting, Founder of Orange Room & TriFactor.
“We are thrilled to organise our inaugural Great Green Run, in partnership with TriFactor, the leading multisport brand in Asia. With a strong aim to be the standard bearer of sustainable sporting events, we wanted a running event because the activity itself has a relatively low environmental impact compared to other sports. We believe running connects people and builds community – you meet new people, you spend time with people, and you talk to people with collective shared values. As two purpose-driven organisations come together, we understand the importance of embedding sustainability in everything that we do to create positive impacts across the business ecosystem, as well as the community,” said James Yeong, Project Director of Great Green Run.
Sustainable development is an integral part of Singapore’s economic growth. As an enabling supporter of local and global sustainability standards, Great Green Run supports and aligns with the Singapore Green Plan 2030 to advance Singapore’s national agenda on sustainable development. Great Green Run aspires to unite and educate individuals and corporations to build a grassroot movement to address a range of social needs, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.
In addition, Great Green Run has partnered with some of the leading sustainable territories in the world, such as the Kingdom of Bhutan, the world’s only carbon negative country, and Lahti, a city in Finland and 2021’s Green Capital of Europe. Great Green Run is also supported by some of the notable brands such as RSM Singapore, ShopBack, Tesla, CapitaLand, JustRunLah! and more.

POSB PAssion Run For Kids 2023
2023-11-05 06:30 - 12:00 | The Promontory @ Marina Bay, Singapore
As part of the POSB PAssion Kids Fund fundraising drive, the annual POSB PAssion Run for Kids event, Singapore’s longest-running race of its kind, returns as an in-person event after being held in hybrid and virtual formats over the past three years. Jointly organised by POSB and the People’s Association, the POSB PAssion Run for Kids brings together families, friends and communities for an unforgettable day of fun and bonding while raising funds for a good cause. The event will be held at the The Promontory at Marina Bay, where participants can take in spectacular views of Singapore’s iconic bayfront as they race alongside their family and friends.
This year’s event theme, Kids Run the World, is a celebration of children’s individuality and their roles as the future natives and caretakers of our Earth. The event comprises six different individual and group race categories, including the all-time favourite ‘Team of 4 challenge’, with a total of over S$12,000 worth of prizes to be won.

Some new highlights this year include:

A limited edition POSB Run for Kids Smart Buddy watch strap, which can be redeemed for free when participating kids clock a minimum of 1.2km starting from 1 October to the event day with their Smart Buddy watches, as an encouragement for them to stay active and healthy. Participating kids can show the monthly distance travelled via the Smart Buddy app’s watch sync feature at the Smart Buddy booth on race day to redeem the strap.
Under the ‘Team of 4 challenge’, there will also be an inaugural race segment specially for National Servicemen, as a way of fostering a sense of camaraderie and strengthening the bond between the community and those who serve our nation. Registration is free for the first 500 NSFs who sign up by 31 August.
In partnership with Chubb, race participants will also receive a complimentary three-month personal accident coverage of up to S$25,000

In addition to the races, the event will also feature five enchanting carnival worlds filled with a myriad of fun activities, game booths, contests and craft workshops. Each world – Happy World, Healthy World, Nature World, Recycle World and Future World – is uniquely designed to help kids explore and learn about areas that are important not just in today’s world, but also in the future.
