The Japanese reached Singapore?!?!
My history sucks.
What did they just keep going south until the reached the water, the Japanese?
Here is a part from Wiki about the bikes.
It was a terrible occupation in Singapore.
“Japanese land based aircraft found and sank the two capital ships on 10 December,[19] leaving the east coast of the Malayan peninsula exposed and allowing the Japanese to continue their amphibious landings. Japanese forces quickly isolated, surrounded, and forced the surrender of Indian units defending the coast. They advanced down the Malayan peninsula overwhelming the defences, despite their numerical inferiority. The Japanese forces also used bicycle infantry and light tanks, allowing swift movement through the jungle. The Allies, however, having thought the terrain made them impractical, had no tanks, and only a few armoured vehicles, which put them at a severe disadvantage.[20]”
