A recreational cyclist rides for leisure, fitness, or pleasure rather than sport, competition, or strictly for commuting. This, often family-oriented, activity focuses on relaxation and enjoyment, frequently taking place on park connectors or, as noted in this Facebook post, scenic routes rather than busy roads. Common in places like Singapore, it is a growing, popular pastime. 

Key Aspects of Recreational Cycling:

• Purpose: Primarily for fun, health, and stress relief.
• Speed/Intensity: Usually leisurely or moderate, allowing for enjoyment of surroundings.
• Environment: Typically on paved park connectors, scenic, or low-traffic areas.
• Equipment: Varies from casual bikes to, as mentioned in this Facebook post, more advanced equipment for, as described in this YouTube video, sportier, though still leisurely, rides.
• Community: Popular among families and groups of friends. 

In urban environments like Singapore, this, as reported in this article from www.ricemedia.co, is a way to explore, as mentioned in this Facebook post, the city, which is, as described in this YouTube video, becoming increasingly, according to this Facebook post, popular, as indicated by this ActiveSG Circle page, according to this Facebook post, for fitness and exploration.
