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]

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.

 

[WussRedXLi]

i think its a road surface that they covered up recently
i see like he went over a bump...
but you could be right that its a pothole

they want everything to be perfect for their cycling
else they blame road, blame bus, blame weather or any other

Cyclist lucky to be alive becos bus kept to its lane and was travelling safely
lucky he can at least spend this x'mas with family
knowing that his pure road skill is sub par... throw face even

Cyclist is alive and no serious injury, simply because the bus drive gave over 2m clearance to him. If it's just 1.5m clearance as per regulations, high chance his legs kena the rear tyre already.

See my post above. Over 2m clearance when cyclist at the alighting door area of the bus.
