    I got in trouble for trying to take a bicycle through pedestrian immigration from Singapore to Malaysia...apparently bicycles are supposed to go with the motorcycles.

    It was no problem on the way back once I knew, there were multiple drive-up windows to stop at. I was the only one pedaling my way through though.

    Hey've u've been in this area before as well? How did that transpire? (just really curious) u did it alone??

    We ride through the customs checkpoint quite often and we time our ride throughs to miss peak hour traffic. the motorbikes rushing home can be pretty intimidating.

    Now the new Malaysian Customs building has loads of ramps/slopes/hills and many drain gratings, just the right size for a road tire to get stuck in. So the first few times were pretty stressful! bikes roaring up behind ya and u trying to make sure u didnt get stuck in a grate on a slope

    Seems cyclists are getting more common, being a female though, they always ask me where i'm headed

    I remember trying to order a frosty from Wendy's drive through window on my bike some 25 years ago. They said nothing doing even though there were no cars in line.

    Hey there, I was there on business travel, was about a year and a half ago and I did it solo on a rental road bike (from the Bike Boutique). I just really wanted to do a border crossing on a bicycle, had no idea how to do it. I even carried the bike through the turnstile. Those guards had me a bit worried when they were shaking their heads at me!

    My last trip to Singapore was in November and I brought my folder with me instead, but just stayed in the country this time.

    Not sure when I'll next be there. Good to know about the grates if I try again!
