W deleted details on Strava of his ride on June 15. But the route he took was mapped out on W’s Garmin account, which is accessible to the public.

Cyclist hit by bullet slug in nature reserve may have tried to cover his tracks from authorities​

SINGAPORE – New details have emerged to show that the cyclist who suffered a gunshot wound, and his friends, may have taken steps to conceal from the authorities the route they took on June 15.

The Straits Times learnt that the 42-year-old did not initially disclose to the police and the National University Hospital (NUH) that he had been riding near the Nee Soon live-firing range when he was hit by a projectile.

The area between Upper Seletar and Upper Peirce reservoirs in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR) is gazetted for live-firing, with clear signs warning hikers and riders against trespassing.

The cyclist, identified as L, often tracks his rides on hiking and cycling tracking app Strava. Checks by ST showed him entering the cycling trail from Chestnut Nature Park at about 9.50am on June 15, a Sunday.

He was with a group of about 10 cyclists at the time. At least one other cyclist, identified as W, was his regular riding partner.

W deleted details on Strava of his ride on June 15. But the route he took was mapped out on W’s Garmin account, which is accessible to the public.

After leaving Chestnut Nature Park, they entered the Woodcutter’s Trail in the CCNR at about 11am. The trail takes riders and hikers deep into restricted areas.

In an earlier statement, the Ministry of Defence (Mindef) said that the man was hit by a bullet slug at about 11.40am. L was then taken to NUH by his friends at about 1pm.

The police were alerted only at 11.55pm, more than 12 hours after the incident.

In response to ST’s queries, an NUH spokeswoman said the cyclist was admitted to the emergency department.

“During triage and initial clinical assessment, the patient did not report that he had been shot,” she said.

“There were no overt signs to indicate a firearm-related injury based on the patient’s account and the circumstances surrounding the patient’s admission.

“Hence, there was no known basis for a police report to be made at that point.”

ST understands that L also did not disclose he had been riding in a live-firing area earlier.

NUH said the patient was attended to promptly based on standard trauma protocols, and was closely monitored.

He was given appropriate care and assessed to be in a stable condition throughout.

The cyclist underwent emergency surgery and received multidisciplinary care from the team at NUH’s National University Centre for Trauma.

ST understands that as his injuries were not life-threatening, he went under the knife only at about 10pm, when a metal object was removed from his lower left back and later identified as a bullet slug.

It had narrowly missed his kidney.

“Once the cause of the external wound was definitively determined, we notified the police immediately,” said the NUH spokeswoman.

She said the hospital is cooperating fully with the police, and is unable to comment further due to patient confidentiality and as the case is under investigation.

The police said NUH alerted them at 11.55pm of the gunshot wound.

After receiving the alert, the police activated their investigators and the Gurkha Contingent, who then combed the CCNR area.

Some in the cycling community said the man told the police he was not in restricted areas when he was shot.

They added that the man admitted later that he had been riding in a restricted area in the CCNR when he was injured.

It emerged later that the SAF was conducting a live-firing exercise at Nee Soon Range around the time when L was riding in the Woodcutter’s Trail.

Regular rides​

The CCNR is Singapore’s largest nature reserve, with more than 2,000ha of forest land and over 20km of trails, according to the National Parks Board.

The Woodcutter’s Trail is a popular unofficial cycling route in the CCNR, known for its steep slopes and winding track. It is in a restricted area closed off to the public.

Riders typically start at Chestnut Nature Park off Bukit Panjang and cycle about 6km to get to the trail, usually exiting it near Mandai Crematorium or Seletar Reservoir via areas clearly marked as restricted.

L’s Strava account showed that he had accessed the unofficial trail from as early as 2014, and cycled there on a battery-powered mountain bike frequently.

Before the incident, he used the trail at least 10 times in 2025, clocking between 14km and 27km each time.

L’s social media accounts were initially privatised. ST tried to reach out to him via his friends, but he did not respond.

L and W regularly ride with patrons of a bicycle shop near Pasir Panjang. ST visited the shop on the morning of June 19 and asked if the shop owner would reach out to the pair.

After the visit, W privatised his Strava and Garmin accounts, and L deleted his social media accounts.

Other cyclists who have frequented the Woodcutter’s Trail have also started scrubbing videos and pictures of their previous visits to the area.

Mindef said that under the Military Manoeuvres Act, unauthorised individuals are not allowed to enter gazetted areas designated for SAF live-firing for their own safety.

The police said on June 18 that the cyclist who was shot is being investigated for wilful trespass.

Investigations by the police and the SAF are ongoing.

My colleague spent 400+ on screen replacement due to green lines.
Out of warranty period liao.

Now is red lines


However is red screen of death instead if green lines. Death as in the watch will become unusable after 20 mins when the red screen manifested. Only solution is screen replacement.

Anyway my $133 Huawei GT Runner still going stronk from 2022. HR and GPS Accuracy more than sufficient for my amateur use and still in the top tier level.

Absolutely no intention of changing it. Only issue is that, it is a Huawei, so if you know you know, coz some pple look down on it. :ROFLMAO: Use for cycling (heart rate) and running. Cycling lagi better coz no vibrations on the wrists vs running.
My bike comp gives speed/cadence.
(I poor guy, no power meter one)

Remember when i got my watch back in 2022, the HR while sitting in office was still in the low 60s.

Now can get this liao.

When using the BP monitor first thing in the morning after getting up, i can get mid to high 40s.

This one lagi more harrowing that jogging against traffic direction on dedicated cycling path eg on Bay East Garden. I see liao also sweat for them :oops:

Also dont know why quite a fair number of people like to wear full black one. Joggers or cyclists same pattern.
And then attempt to travel in areas that are dark or change from light to dark (others limited low light adaptation or kena glare etc), dark to light (eg tunnel out to full sun) or kena sun glare direct into eyes......

this evening had my first run in this shoes. First I felt was it's bouncy. While running, I felt it deformed or compress a lot. I think what most of you call soft? Not really to my liking as there might by some stability issue when the mid sole depressed unevenly. Need to acclimatize if I were to use this for long runs like >21km.

The ride, a slight rocker geometry which is enough to give the push for a enjoyable tempo run for me it's 5:30 to 6 min/km. But mostly for this run, I did 6:10 min/km, and shoe was also great. It's quite versatile in this manner. The only concern for my is just the stability due to the soft cushion.

Also I find the cushion is thick, close to max cushion shoes without the weight and plush padding. Suitable for long runs, if the stability is not an issue for you.
had my first run in the 乔丹强风3TR,
6.15km @ 6:18min/km av pace and return run 6.00km @ 6:57min/km av.
Mostly positive at this price. Swapped the 5mm super critical insole with 2.5mm NB rebel v4 insole and the whole ride was pretty good. Wish there are slightly more room for left toe but no drastic discomfort nor intoe bruise after run. No stability issue and heel lock is good and comfortable. Midsole is relatively on the firmer side which is my preference although i wish the forefoot part can be slightly softer and bouncier. Feels nicer as one picks up the paces. Outsole doesn't look as durable as i can see distinct wearing off on my outer heels after both runs.
>RMB200 for all these, no complaints and its an easy recommendation for any runner.
