Well I hope my insight into one of USA's friendliest bike city can help to benchmark how far Singapore is, from making itself Cycle-Friendly...
that is if Singapore wants to. I would think with a 6.9 mil population target, it should start embarking now. Portland is a small city at just under 600k people but I see more bikes here than in Singapore.
Here are some photos showing how bicycles are used, locked in Portland.

| Normal bike posts easily found on every street. |

| Bike posts for customers found in the main front of Powell bookstore. (Biggest book store in Portland) |
 |
| You can park and lock your bikes anywhere...even along the river |
People cycle to work as a form of commute, or a healthier way to exercise. Though cars are cheap and gasoline is easily available and affordable, people choose to cycle in Portland.

| There are all kinds of bicycles, and people cycling them...especially on a wonderful Sunday |
