70-year-old man allegedly hit by cyclist behind Yishun bus stop, calls for 'dismount and push' sign

[mcmxcii]

Cycling used to be banned from pavements & walkways. Then that Active Mobility Advisory Panel reversed the ban to protect these two-wheeled elites (from getting hit by cars on the roads) and let them hit hapless pedestrians instead.

Now d main issue is also how to get ppl to adhere to rules? As we've seen in many cases n in news.

U can enact all d laws n rules. But ppl dun care or adhere to it now.

You look at the road, car drivers dun really adhere either. Those more serious like speeding yeah sure, that's like most cyclists dun speed 30 km through town centres either.

But those more ''minor'' ones? Like speeding up when lights change amber? (LOL) That's like's the = of cyclist trying to squeeze past a crowd so he does not get delayed.

I think alot of things have to start from school. Primary school, we used to have East Coast driving park or whatever it's call back then, now like not much. Schools are a place of education but education consist not only about academic, it's a great place to start to learn about life too. This is one thing Japan's education surpass us in. We should adopt the system, refine and tune it to local context.

All the kids now eyes glued to the phone, next generation all will think no problem. If you are in your 30s or mid 40s and have some money, go invest in hospital stocks, comes 2030 onwards you sure huat like siao.

Should go to MP and ask for reversal for them to cycle on road and immunity for drivers that knock down cyclists.

You realize the pcn or shared path markings goes behind the bus stops at certain places now?

Buangkok have, Pasir Ris also have, Tampines as well.

Yup. You are correct.

Most places with PCN are routed behind the bus stop. Usually there is enough time to notice the pedestrians crossing the PCN after alighting from the bus.

This one i fully agreed. Ppl now is ''i want to do X'' so i will argue for X even if certain logic dun make sense.

I go cycling, go on pcn, non road cyclist. I see cyclists and ppl sometimes have conflicts one. Ped ba long long go walk anywhere and change direction anytime they want, no blind spot check. Cyclists also, want to switch lane never blind spot check, just nice another bike from behind, ram and fall.

The general consensus i get from Singaporean culture is ''i just want to do whatever i want, if i dun get it, then the OTHER SIDE have to change for me''. Selfish mentality really. It's not surprising we need to have a gracious campaign and mascots like Singa.

I've met good n bad cyclists. Some is really entitled. U gotta give way to them instead.

N some paths now got separation into cyclist n pedestrians paths. But some cyclists still cycle on those painted with pedestrians Oni signs on d path.

D ego, selfishness is too strong in ppl now. Which culminated in ppls mentality, behaviour n actions now.

N hence d society we hv. Then got all tis issues.

 

[Atilas]

This is Yishun. Dangers and accidents cannot be easily mitigated. MYBFD.

 

[slashGNR]

Most signs everywhere are basically "useless" unless there's some authority present...

That is why must mandate they cycle on the road only and let the tipper truck educate them.

 

[daveteo88]

Yishun PAP very good, there got shelter for smokers.

Actually one bunch of addict standing around a smelly dustbin to smoke is not cool.

 

[Ethan_]

normally cyclist will go behind the bus stop so as to avoid commuters waiting or boarding the bus in front what
isnt that why there's a space behind most bus stop nowadays?

why this ah pek go stand behind the bus stop?

Think the usual cycle path also behind bus stop. Usually nobody stand behind the bus stop one. Unless crossing.

 

[Ethan_]

Nope.

Most of them don’t care.

Typical local cyclist attitude.

Think most pedestrians also don't care bah. They are often all over the place blocking everyone path. One reason why cyclist weave in and out. Cause alot of pedestrians are on the cycling path also.

 

[Jedihan]

Just build barrier la.

People waiting for the bus should not stand behind the busstop, especially those designated for cycling paths.

 

[boredom2012]

I ever saw cyclist cycle in mrt station

I hate those yaw siew cyclist speed past bus stop without a care for people waiting for bus at bus stops, I am talking about the small narrow space in front between the seats and the road, got a few times my mum wheelchair is in that space and they just zoom past without slowing down, very scare they bang into my mother, fricking selfish... and some never speed but reach bus stop keep ringing the bell non-stop expecting people to give way.

 

[WussRedXLi]

Bus stop can be stand Infront, behind, middle,.left, right lah.
Bicycle should stay away from bus stop. Go on the road or bicycle PCN

Issue is, that is exactly what they are doing, by design.....
From 1st July, need to take the red path only.....the colour and sign not very clear in the pic below of coz for this particular Yishun bus stop in question. It is similar for many other stops.

 

[kuti-kuti]

Majority of bikes dont have any bells or dun alert people but just zoom pass them.

Walking is a necessity.

Cycling is a choice.
If one chooses to cycle, one should accept the risks of cycling on the road.

I don't understand why that idiotic Active Mobility Advisory Panel passed the danger of collision to pedestrians.

I won't be surprised most of the AMAP members are self-serving cyclists.
