Oh yes. The weekend death trap.

Children running around suddenly, people walking on the cycling tracks, entire families stopped in the middle of the cycling track, couples hugging each other or even kissing each other - all on the cycling track. :s13:

It's amazing cyclists don't use the walking tracks to cycle, sometimes.

I have seen beginner skaters stumbling and arms flailing around and then fall in the middle of the bicycle track. Or kids suddenly appearing from behind the tree and then dash onto the tracks, etc.

Ya. If u go Punggol Settlement near the jetty, basically pedestrians are using the cycling track for all sorts of activities from strolling to jogging.

The track in front of the crab restaurant?

Still OK unless its on weekend evening. Normally I only use the stretch on late evenings.

Yes outside those seafood restaurants. Sometimes one big group can occupy entire track. Not just weekends, weekdays also have but fewer only.

How late u riding? I ride sat n sun morning and weekday (no fix days) 8+ to 10+ pm type. But usually sat morning I try to go east coast / MBS or pasir ris / Changi village.

Normally I have one short ride on weekday night... either Tues/Wed night. AMK==> Punggol==> Lor Halus==> back.. about 28km. In this case, I go quite fast for cardio workout.

Then I normally ride slightly longer distance on Friday or Saturday night... From AMK==> ECP/GBTB==> CV==> Pasir Ris/Punggol==> AMK... about 60-70km. Will only go slightly faster on changi coastal.

Why not we guys here have a national day ride during the long weekend? =:p

I went from bukit panjang ->old woodland -> mandai-> yishun already half my life.

The return trip takes my whole life.

Mandai has a long killer stretch of steep road.
