[CONSOLIDATED] Errant Cyclists Thread

Sissy long socks make them powerful ma

Many low SES cyclists ( not the Tour de France type with atas gear ) don't even have basic lights on their bikes, much less signal in anyway

IMHO.
Weight disadvantage mah. But hor, if got branded lights, I am quite sure will put one.

If they are regulated and can be held liable/responsible for breaking the rules, then other road drivers have to accept them. There will be an initial period where we would still see friction but once enough cyclists get punished by law, the rest should wise up and start behaving more properly. Not like now, see cyclist hogging on the road sibei stress, anything happen sure I kenna regardless of who's right or wrong. If tap horn to alert him, he dulan come and bang my bonnet hit my car, I also cannot report him because no ID. If I just follow wolsly until the turn, car behind dulan honk me. Wait he overtake me never see the cyclist and swing in, GG to cyclist also

Yah ...best part..bus lane hours in bus lane..end up bus need to change lane..
WTF

 

[SuperGreenHorn]

Nowadays bicycles come with no brakes?

If got brakes but no brain = same outcome

I do myself, even on PCNs late at night, it's a habit developed from constantly doing it. Of cos i will be the 1st to admit, sometimes it slips the mind, esp after cycling for a while. But turning head checking for blindspot is 2nd nature now and that carries into my driving as well.

IMHO.
Slipped of mind is ok. LTA should give you an award for doing so.
I not sure how u check blindspot, usually I see those want to check blindspot, like want to fall off the bike.
Because usually I can anticipate cyclist changing 2 or 3 lanes, check blindspot or not, I help by sounding my horn so they can know I am around.

Just a quick turn and make sure nobody behind me or to the direction i wanna swap to. Then raise the hand of the side i wanna go, chicken flap a couple of time, head turn check again, then turn lor. Starting i actually fall off a couple of time or close to. But after a while catch the hang jiu ok liao.

Should have blind spot monitor for bicycle.

 

[freshvibes]

All these damn pests again knn

 

[blackie83]

He first time see meh. Always pmd food delivery always do this leh. Only hope when they canna accident

 

[dreadknight]

yoz, tp pls take action... oh wait... how to identify har? do we have state of art surveillance cam??

register their Garmin accounts with LTA
most of them have bicycle computer that log their route, rpm

 

[Terraces]

Probably oppo supporters?

 

[tmster]

Poster eyes tiak stamp? Where got occupy 2 lanes? All of them stick to one lane in an orderly manner. Only one occasionally got into lane 2 because he is the safety and pacer. Is normal.

Yes it is normal for them to ignore traffic lights, hoard 2 lanes and block road vehicles. If they don't do all these, the cyclist confirm not normal. Tio bo?

At the current point i can see the merit of this. But my opinion at this point of time is, the complain against cyclists in general will still continue, calls for cycling bans etc all will cont citing reasons like cyclists more vulnerable etc, even when fully regulated. Becuz the crux of issue for both sides remains unsolved - We are not gracious enough to share the road and accommodate each other willingly. There's always a reason to want to get the other party ''off '' to the sides.

But that's another big can of worms i can assure other road users will NOT want to open.

Don't overthink it.

Let's not make it a "cyclists vs other vehicles" problem. On the roads, there is always some excuse for people to buay song one another one la. E.g. cars never chu signal when changing lanes, motorbikes lane-splitting at high speeds, heavy vehicles hogging the 1st (extreme right) lanes etc etc etc. But one thing in common is, the moment any one of these registered vehicles break the law, their license numbers would be easily captured and the offender would be swiftly identified, arrested and dealt with by the authorities.

However, right now, there is no such regulation for cyclists. Hence many cyclists simply do whatever the fock they want because they know that it is currently almost impossible to identify them. This ultimately results in the general disdain towards cyclists.

 

[dotarian007]

bo lang go enforce and catch
they happily cycle lo

 

[lalalalalala]

What if ... one day, just nice meet a lorry driver who thinks the same way, midnight, no cars (and of cos no bike) beating the red light won't harm ... and then ... maybe we get to read on newspaper?

Better if it's a prime mover

 

[trevlim]

TP and LTA too busy or what? this type of road behaviour has been going on for how long liao

without enforcement, these tour de singapour wannabes will only be further encouraged and emboldened to break the rules

 

[1982-1994]

Omg I love the back ground music

 

[lordofshanghai]

Funny thing is, one is car, the other is bicycle.
Amazingly cyclist not worried about being knock by car, and suffer the physical damage or even death.
When I cycle, at times I also worry

 

[siaoliaolor]

Dunno why I feel I should be more worried car drivers beating red light
Hog lane
Can't keep in lane

 

[deathan9el]

no action will be taken
full stop
