Speeding car drivers also need the gallows to be fair. Cyclists don’t cause much damage if they crash into metal boxes.

Only if the drivers are wearing spandex.

Over 25 cyclists caught for exceeding convoy limit on Clementi Road and West Coast Highway​

On Saturday morning (25 May), over 25 cyclists were caught by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Traffic Police (TP) for exceeding the convoy limit during a one-day operation on Clementi Road and West Coast Highway.

The convoy could face up to S$150 fine as the fine for errant cyclists has been doubled since January 2022.

“It is an offence to cycle on roads in groups larger than 5 cyclists in a single file, or 10 cyclists riding two abreast. Groups should also keep a minimum distance of 30m, or 2 lamp posts, between one another,” reminded the LTA in a Facebook post.

25 cyclists caught & fined exceeding group limit​

The LTA posted on Facebook on 25 May that over 25 cyclists were apprehended in their latest round of operations with the Traffic Police against errant cyclists along Clementi Road and West Coast Highway.

The number of people in the group exceeded the legal limit.

The LTA added a reminder in the post that it is illegal to cycle in groups of more than five cyclists in a line, or 10 cyclists side by side. Groups should also stay at least 30 metres apart or two lamp posts away from each other.

These restrictions have been applied since January 2022, along with a fine for errant cyclists doubling to S$150.

With the doubled fine for illegal cycling, the group of cyclists could face up to a S$150 fine.

The LTA added the authorities will continue to take action against those who violate the rules.

Ok. Each bike is easily $2500 and above ...just pay the fine. If more than 25 cyclist, $150/25 is how much? Few dollars per person? Just carry on.

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.

Start paying road tax first then talk about rights

$150 so cheap. Is like entry fee. Permit fee. Licence fee.

In Europe, Taiwan, and Japan, they built cycling lane on the road too. If they can, we can too. Please help to advocate this

Bro i suggest we create new shopping center for cyclist also

it will be a 8 storey mega exhibition hall where cyclists can worship their bikes on weekends.

there will be all of those branded bikes on display.

Then we should enact new laws as well

if accidentally knock cyclist = 誅連九族

 

[Cowbellc]

Pay COE, road tax and insurance first

correct. if u wanna have the rights, pay road tax, insurance.
even house need to pay property tax, u paying ZERO and demand to have rights?

 

[orpisia]

[woshihock]

why need 25 people to cycle together?

tour de France also 8 per team nia

or are they doing rider selection?

then compete in TDF
then take lumber 1
then come back laugh at us bbfa loser

 

[Cowbellc]

Don't overthink your contributions.

Roads are paid by all taxpayers. CEO entitled you to buy a car, and insurance is for your own car - it's all for your convivence. Car owners are free to form a NGO group to get cyclists out of the road instead of whining here all the time.

yep roads are paid by taxpayer to built it. but drivers pay to use the road, if cyclist wanna use the road too, pay for it instead of demanding rights to use it

 

[DeadPeople]

Cars have demerit points. even if u have money to keep paying, they wont have the points to continue driving.

for rich cyclists, don't think they bother. they will treat it as monthly subscription or entry fees.

 

[Decorum]

why need 25 people to cycle together?

More cyclist equal more aerodynamic formation, can go faster & drop bomb

like those F-35 fighter jets fly in formation

 

[TedBoi]

should fine + give demerit point if they have license.
like how the rules is applied for those who didn't wear seatbelt in cars.
