DBS BUSKING BY THE BAY: CAN'T PADDLE? PEDAL, INSTEAD

In a bigger show of support for street arts and busking in Singapore, DBS will up the ante of Busking by the Bay by incorporating the theme of Sustainability and introduce a fun, hands-on experience. In addition to workshops and classes at the Marina Regatta, DBS is introducing Wheel For Watt, a fun and hands-on experience where the public can hop on stationary bicycles to pedal and generate electricity for the live entertainment provided by some of Singapore's most popular buskers.
