Climate is not as extreme as you think, it can be pleasantly warm, not hot.
Singapore food courts are famous.
And there are lots of bicycle shops, more than in Bangkok. Many are run by Chinese and, if you negotiate, you can have good prices.
Its a big city but there are green area's too and some islands like Pulau Ubin near Changi airport. Besides the famous business district and well known luxury orchard Road, there are also districts with small houses.
And Malaysia is just over the border, the east cost close by is nice. Many people of Singapore go there for the week-end. If you go more up to the north of east coast, many places are famous for snorkeling and diving.
