[CONSOLIDATED] Errant Cyclists Thread

[The_Davis]

Why LTA don’t have the iron in them to banned cyclists and confine them to parks. When you go woke you go broke. Really getting from bad to worse.

Park goers also don’t want them in parks

 

[The_Davis]

cycling shld be prohibited

Agree, built a circuit for them easier

Wanting... but not knowing how to frame the blame to the bus.

Is v frustrating one, that's why must stare... and think really hard...

"I skid is my problem, doesn't mean you can roll over my bike, pay up now!!!"

Partially did spent money drawing some bicycle lane on the roads. But still not enough. Maybe every sunday convert all roads to only allow emergency vehicles and bicycles.

Nope. Left side got construction debris, it's defensive riding not to ride on debris. The bus failed to give 1.5m clearance and came too close to the cyclist. Got video there, the bus driver cannot escape law

Propose cyclist also pay road tax.

Then extend to pmd pma ebike also. Bicycle pay $1 per year since they don't pollute the air. The rest pay 20k per year since they use battery and electricity that harms the earth and suck up resources.

 

[AuraKUPO]

Need to ban bicycles on the road and pavement can only walk with bicycle unless got cycle lane

But pedestrian also walk on bus lane. Means pedestrian need to pay road tax also. Hope pap take my suggestion

Tanah merah coastal road there have, on the road somemore.

 

[xArchangelSGE]

LTA can set up road block at cte

Why cannot work on Xmas to catch these idiot?

Then never catch - say lesser incidents.
self fulfilling one lo

Cannot see if close both eyes.

Pap is like that

He heng that the bus gave him over 2m clearance (min 1.5m as per regulations).


I dont know why cyclists like to cycle during more peak busy hours at these areas with high levels of heavy vehicles like Jurong/Tuas areas.....Neo Tiew Sungei Kadut etc.
Never mind their level of experience / competency in bike handling, riding on the roads and interaction with other road users.
And like quite a fair number of them do not even have sufficient rear lights visibility during daylight hours, never mind the big areas of blindspots of heavy vehicles. And then their bikes are black/dark and they wear dark jerseys etc.

Esp during rainy days and wet roads (drain covers, masking the potholes etc).

 

[WussRedXLi]

Really dangerous for cyclists to ride on roads next to heavy vehicles

There is possibility of heavy vehicles crushing others between the wheels

West side esp .....

 

[WussRedXLi]

He heng that the bus gave him at least 3m clearance (min 1.5m as per regulations).

Read some comments here. It's interesting that some cyclists see this as passing too close, ie less than 1.5m distance bt vehicle and the cyclist.

Remember, the height of the road to helmet is already like 1.8m.

If these folks see this as passing too close, i think you all better dont cycle already....dont twist black into white and white into black.

BTW, fellow road cyclist here.
