As pedestrians and active mobility users continue to co-exist in tension, authorities see the expansion of Singapore's cycling path network as one way forward.

B4 u know it, some ebike might be chionging past u from behind. Or some pma might be chionging towards u from d front as u lift Ur head up.

I would stop and let them pass first, so as to avoid any potential issues

Ya lo, as a pedestrian on the pavement,I feel safest walking at the grass patch beside it..... What an irony

 

[Ethan_]

No pmd but more pma. The irony. Local need to accept that these vehicles will be the norm. Need to provide the right infrastructure for them. Not force them to share a narrow space.

i was at punggol park connector network a few months ago and i encountered a few extremely rude and entitled cyclists.

it doesn't help that the pathway for joggers and walkers is extremely narrow and not able to cater to both ingoing and outgoing people.

 

[priore]

Because there is still PMA. And it is not regulated. Really got medical need or not, nobody knows.

 

[RinoaX]

They still around what. Just in another pesty form.

 

[chaiscool]

Pmd is the future, just build dedicated lane for pmd and cycling.

 

[footi3]

pma is the new nuisance
