Ban bicycles from PNC and pathway pls. They high beam to blind joggers, ring bell endlessly, and zoom so fast it is scary to watch. Real hazards and extremely rude ppl too.

LTA / TP, please read this from the news article:

Sarah was even caught last year by enforcement officers, who confiscated her PMD worth S$1,500 (US$1,110) and fined her S$500.

She promptly bought another and resumed riding. “The officers can stop me ... but I’m going to buy some more. I won’t stop.


what are you going to do? :s13:

shared pavement is totally an absurd and bad idea and a nightmare for pedestrian ... it should be dedicated ... want to do job, do a good one, don't do half F job ... :s13:

i saw one just this afternoon. parked within a sheltered walkway, blocking traffic. darn lazy selfish idiots. they clearly are not handicapped or old. one of these days, some siaolang will just flip these over in anger and make them immobile for life.

i was at punggol park connector network a few months ago and i encountered a few extremely rude and entitled cyclists.

it doesn't help that the pathway for joggers and walkers is extremely narrow and not able to cater to both ingoing and outgoing people.
Even the wide walk way along SIT toward Coney island also got cyclist horning. Question is no one was blocking him. Maybe he saw something that we can't.

No need lah. I heard some of these people will become inmobile once they get used to such devices.

Actually sometimes u need to ring the bell as the pedestrians are either walking in the bicycle lane, in the middle of the entire pavement in a group or walking left and right in a zig zag manner.
