...12yo girl kena hit by a bicycle infront of waterway point....still in ICU now....

[zencam]

Happened to see a similar accident on 9Aug 8am at the Zebra Crossing (Bukit Batok Road and Brickland Road). This bunch of cyclist was speeding past the Zebra Crossing without stopping and hit a small girl. Both cyclist lady and the small girl fell. The mother screamed with horror.

One of the cyclist (guy wearing black) then shouted at the mother blaming the girl for not being careful. When the mother shouted at him back, he started shouting the F words towards the mother, right in front of her already traumatised daughter!

The cyclist tried to run away like a coward but was chased after by the courageous father who screamed for him to stop. The chase was quite a distance. Really pity the father. And yet, the rude cyclist also began shouting back at the father. I was so shocked to see such low class behaviour. Makes my blood boils also.

Won't be surprised if one day, this horrible cyclist will himself be hit with a really bad accident. Or maybe even happen to his own kids. Then, he will remember how terrible he was towards the parents of the small girl who got knocked down by his cyclist friend. This is just karma and when karma hits back, they will hit hard. Luckily, the girl didn't end up being in ICU or worse. Otherwise, I am sure the cyclist who knocked her down will end up in court because cars and cyclist are supposed to STOP at a Zebra Crossing!

This is hit and run. If LTA wants to allow cycling, they should deploy their officer to direct traffic between pedestrians and cyclists.

need to go out with umbrella next time. cycle near me at high speed sure kena whack

 

[maniamcool]

So the cyclist was trying to say that as long as he rings, he could anyhow knock onto someone and it's not his fault.

shout at him "i'm going to hit you!" then punch him.

then say "i say i'm going to hit you already you didn't siam not my fault"

i always felt bicycles were as dangerous or even more dangerous than pmds.. now that we gotten rid of the e scooters, let's get rid of bicycles. and then we can decide which group to target next

Unfortunately this misfortunate must happen to the decision makers and their kins then they will reconsider

few days ago I saw a joker speeding on e-bike at the foyer of Buangkok square. almost knock down a little girl. It is irresponsible idiot like this joker that sabo everyone.

 

[Anjumara123]

Reminds me of the time when a cyclist wasn't looking straight ahead and was about to hit me head on. Luckily I moved out of the way in time, but not before holding on to the front of his bike. He still got the cheek to say I damage his bike. I just said to him: "You just now staring at your right, looking at at what? Your ah ma showing her neh neh is it?"

 

[Teyemittisi]

How do you even know the accident rate is lower?

Nbr surely higher .. what I meant is the percentage of accidents over total pedestrian users.. just a gut feeling.. no stats to back this up

 

[Laneige]

really many still ride ard neighbourhood without disembarking from bicycle
cycle nevermind but cycle fast.
v dangerous
oh ya the jh bikes n sg bikes like to park ard the area also, drive up to pavement
2025 liao
LTA never summon
Town council probably go home at night liao for those bike at pavement area.

in ICU is v serious
walk also cannot walk in peace

 

[Laneige]

This is terrible.

There are groups still insistent on making Singapore “bike friendly”.

No benefits whatsoever. Stop pushing it.

benefit them la else they say so much for what

now got dual path right??? one for cyclist, one for pedestrian. So, he probably meant the cyclist path???

i beo this cycling path ard one area, 1/2 way nia the path stopped liao because there is a bus stop

 

[Brionic]

Hit and try to run, some more got injury. This is a police case liao. Mother should call the police and the father try to hold the cyclist as long as possible.

there are many cyclists here in this forum who support bicycle over pedestrian. Can see them defending cyclists in topics relating to bicycle and pedestrian/car in park connectors and roads.

Difficult to target bicycle when we have a sizeable population who are cyclists. Think we just pray we are not so suay to kana knock down by bicycle liao and be alert when we walking even in pedestrian pavement in parks joggin track...

Only when more and more ppl die from knocking down by cyclists, maybe the govt will then react

SG culture has since become very defensive even if they are in the wrong.
I would blame the over-population that cultivated this.
We are bringing in people from all over asia and the world with blaming culture.
Hence, locals will start to learn and behaves like them so that we will not be on the losing end:
More to come after 2030z
