Celebrate Chinese New Year 2025 in a Healthy Way

7 Exciting Ideas for Cyclists in Singapore

Chinese or Lunar New Year (CNY) is a time of joy, togetherness, and vibrant traditions. In 2025, let’s add a twist to the celebrations by embracing health and fitness.

For those in Singapore who love cycling or have resolved to live healthier this year, Rodalink has curated a list of unique and fun CNY activities to help you enjoy the festivities while staying active.

1. Group Ride in Red: Celebrate Unity on Two Wheels

Gather your cycling friends and family for a group ride around Singapore’s scenic routes. Make it festive by wearing red outfits, symbolizing good fortune and joy. Plan a route that passes through iconic locations like Marina Bay Sands (MBS), East Coast Park, or the Chinese Garden to soak in the festive atmosphere.

Tip: Organize a friendly photo competition to capture the most creative red-themed cycling outfit!

2. Decorate Your Ride with Lunar New Year Vibes

Add a splash of CNY spirit to your bicycle by decorating it with red envelopes (angpao), small lanterns, or tassels. This simple activity is a fun way to engage the family, especially kids, in preparing for the celebrations.

DIY Idea: Attach angpao packets to your bike’s frame and use eco-friendly lights to create a lantern-like glow. Not only will your bike look festive, but it will also enhance safety during evening rides.

3. Visit CNY Markets by Bike

Hop on your bike and explore local CNY markets to experience the festive buzz. From Chinatown to Tanjong Pagar, these areas will be brimming with delicious snacks, decorations, and cultural performances. Cycling allows you to avoid the crowds and parking hassle while staying active.

Pro Tip: Use a pannier or basket to carry your goodies, and don’t forget to hydrate while exploring.

4. Healthy CNY Potluck Post-Ride

There’s nothing more than gathering your family and hosting a healthy CNY potluck with healthy and delicious dishes. Prepare the healthiest and the most delicious Chinese dishes that represent CNY such as:

• Steamed fish (symbolizing abundance)
• Stir-fried vegetables (symbolizing growth)
• Mandarin oranges as snacks (symbolizing prosperity)

Don’t forget to complement these dishes with fresh juice or tea instead of high-sugar drinks to promote a Chinese-healthy lifestyle.

5. Red Packet Charity Ride

Turn your cycling into a meaningful activity by organizing a Red Packet Charity Ride. Gather your cycling community to donate funds to a local charity or distribute gifts to underprivileged families. It's a wonderful way to embody the true spirit of giving that CNY represents.

How to Start: Create a cycling event on social media, set a fundraising goal, and encourage participants to join the ride dressed in festive attire.

6. CNY Cycling Challenges

Set personal or group challenges to stay motivated during the festive season. For example, aim to cycle 88 km (a lucky number in Chinese culture) within the CNY week or complete a sunrise ride on the first day of the New Year. These challenges can add a sense of accomplishment to your celebrations.

7. Healthy CNY Picnic Post-Ride

Combine cycling with a healthy CNY-themed picnic. After a morning ride, settle down at a park and enjoy a spread of nutritious CNY snacks like mandarin oranges, steamed dumplings, and tea. Avoid sugary drinks or fried foods to maintain your fitness goals.
