Think this kind of competitive 'recreational' cyclists are on the rise and form much of the so called cycling problem. These and increasingly other lesser vehicles also, together need their own turf on the road. That is a cycling lane. Other surface just doesn't cut it.

But funny is local seems always on the wrong ball. Create more cycling path, etc, for recreation cycling. But seriously that's just it, for leisure cycle only. Those really into cycling one tend will not go on these cycling path, unless leisure.

Cause think the typical cycling path not safe for such cyclist. Surface condition not good don't say. Pedestrian and other users anyhow on the path also. How to ride like that.

The road although to many might seem more dangerous, cause of the motor vehicle. But in reality is much safer for cyclist, give the surface made for smoother travel and all users are often in common going same direction, don't have pedestrian and other users anyhow cross path.

Mr Lawrence Choo, 45, founding member of cycling enthusiast groups 10101010 and Faber X, suggested that the guideline for motorists to adhere to a minimum distance of 1.5m when passing cyclists on roads be passed into law, so that it can be enforced like the group cycling rules.

He added that drivers should learn that cyclists also have a right to be on the roads.

Mr Kiki Matthias Cheng, founder of cycling enthusiast group Riding Kakis (Singapore), said it may be more effective to influence cyclists to become role models who “walk the ground” and advocate safer cycling practices within their cycling groups.

The 52-year-old operations director added that this could help “activate” the cycling community in spreading good cycling practices, compared with a top-down approach through law enforcement.

Mr Khaw and Mr Ng both suggested building more dedicated cycling infrastructure, such as cycling lanes that allow road users to give cyclists the right of way.

Why not also make it a law that any vehicles see cyclists, they must stop, get out of the car, kneel and kowtow to them. Only when cyclists accept then will the driver be able to return to their car and continue their way

Talk bird words ??? They got the right to be on the road,yes but are for those who keep left on the lane near the pavement, for ppl who cycle to work, for law following riders and not for cyclists who ride in the centre of each lanes or a hoard who occupied multiple lanes..

And how to expect drivers keep 1.5m from cyclists, like that traffic jam everywhere.... will cripple the whole transport system and more accidents will heppen for sure.

And probably he grew up from eating bird feeds
