[CONSOLIDATED] Errant Cyclists Thread

No worries, only 2 died still have a lot more

I expect more to come

Yes think on the positive side .... as many of these spandex heroes continue their dangerous behaviour, can expect an increasing numbers of them being killed or seriously injured

As more of them are being taken out, the roads will become safer

When they killed innocent pedestrians….many cyclists will defend Tour De France, “it’s pedestrians fault” !

cyclist can choose to ride on roads or pavements whichever traffic conditions suit them.

All because LTA’s regulations never restrict them to PCN only. If there is a problem LTA should restrict the problem to a smaller area.

It's actually scientifically proven that cycling abreast makes cyclists more visible to vehicles. That's why the recent ones who died were presumably cycling alone and not prominent. But ya single lane should cycle by the shoulder.

Cycle at PCN no vehicles.

 

[Nickypigu]

No need to pay road tax, COE, ERP, insurance.
They are actually KING of the road!
If they hog all lanes, we hit them, we are in the wrong!!
Best is LTA keeps monitoring, NATO.
And 65% supported the govt!!

Should petition to restrict them to PCN only. This is to keep them safe.

Sinkies and AMDK want to cycle in style…and look cool

Should restrict cyclist to PCN for their safety.

Insane that despite so many cyclist injuries and deaths on the roads, I still see some of them riding like cowboys. Just recently I honked at one fella for riding and cutting dangerously, he gave me a middle finger. Should just let him continue doing what he's doing.

Because they not restricted to PCN only. If they are restricted and on the road show middle finger just report to authorities to get him charged.

Impossible.
A check with Google, Baey Yam Keng, Chan Chun Sing, Edwin Tong, Ong Ye Kung, even WP Dennis Tan are all cyclists
No.wonder LTA keeps monitoring

I cant be bothered already... roads already so congested, got to keep a lookout for cars, lorries, heavy vehicles, motorcyclists, PMD food delivery riders, pedestrians, cyclists.

I dont even bother honking at cyclists who ride dangerously now, just let nature take its course.

Think perhaps those that can jjww more about cycling one many, if not most they themselves cannot or don't cycle. The way they jjww, its like they don't do it and expect the whole world not to do it.

And a bicycle first and foremost is a transport. Later on many use if for leisure. The problem with local so called cycling path or PCN is they are more for lesiure. Can get to places is a bonus.

But the road on the otherhand its a different thing. Its main purpose is to get people to places in their transport (be it any kind). Its later many use it for lesiure (like those spandex cyclists).

So, both served different purposes. Those that really cycle on both frequently one, may then understand the difference. Why they are both relevant at different time.

Off the road, the journey is often not that smooth one. Too many obstacles (human or otherwise), and bad road condition (humps, steps, bad rough surfaces). Thus, more than 10km/h it often get very uncomfortable and frustrating.

And with the human traffic in the mix, many constantly have to slow to a crawl, start and stop every tens of or hundreds of meters. For those who are using it for transport, getting to places on a daily basis, its rather inefficient and impractical much of the time.
