SINGAPORE: A motorcyclist enthusiast thought of a unique way to celebrate the Lunar New Year—ride on his bike and draw a ‘galloping horse’ on his route map.
As reported by Yan.sg, the rider had this idea of combining local landmarks with the Year of the Horse theme of the Lunar New Year, and he successfully managed to draw a horse on his map. After studying the map of Singapore, he figured that the outline of the Punggol area resembled a horse’s head, and it inspired him to plan a ‘galloping horse’ route that covers the entire island.
He then set off on his motorcycle from Lim Chu Kang in the northwest, which was the hind leg of the horse, and passed through Woodlands, which resembled the tail. He went to Yishun which served as the back of the horse, and Sengkang which was the head. Furthermore, he detoured around Punggol to resemble the eye of the horse. However, he accidentally took a wrong turn, which added the ‘reins’ for his ‘galloping horse’ image through Geylang.
Moreover, the route extended to Farrer Road and the Pan Island Expressway, which served as the front legs, with the front hooves “stepping” over Queenstown and Jurong East. The hind legs landed in Choa Chu Kang and finally returned to the starting point at Lim Chu Kang.
Overall, the entire ride lasted about two and a half hours, and it covered a total distance of over 140 kilometers.
