RIP...27-year-old aviation engineer riding e-bike killed in crash with lorry outside Loyang Temple....

[Dracky]

The 41-year-old male lorry driver was arrested for driving without due care and consideration.

RIP, young man. LTA is not doing its enforcement job. It is well known the lorries and cyclists are not a good mix in Loyang area.

Erm, care remind what was the first instance.

Think only right thing to do is a have a separate cycling lane on the road. Segregate all the different users properly. Local ways of mixing use and sharing of different users path, when they are of different power class, seems to endanger the users more.

An auntie got bang by a pmd on a pathway, pass away.

Then after that PMD tio regulations and banned off the ped pathways and only can be used on cycling and shared paths.

There's A shared path along that road....
For ped, bicycles and ebikes.
Dun say dun have.

So why do cyclists and bikes go on road?
Becos they are allowed to.
Do they follow the rules?
Seldom, becos no enforcement and no diStinct road laws for them to abide.
Road users, Motorists have to take them as risks.

Not saying you are wrong but where the ebiker is going might deviate off the nearby shared paths and hence his decision to head towards the road.

Shared path there only 1 singular path. Depending on where he work, he might have to get off the path somewhere and head on the road to his workplace.

I am a bicycle commuter who actually rides through the same junction every work day. Can you show me on the map, where is the shared path?

Why Malaysian use e-bike instead of kupkia

 

[1982-1994]

Reporter go on-site to ask the people there, he share what he knows and they decided to publish his comment only mah

Oh if like that, my bad

 

[Kiwi8]

The crux of the matter is whether he followed the traffic lights or not.

 

[Acetone]

Looks like those modified by ebike…

[Nevereatrice]

seen so many times boomers still cycle on pavements despite using tax money build cycling tracks for these ppl and it's just beside
even still ring u to give way

Road users, Motorists have to take them as risks.

Not sure what the rider did right or wrong. Not sure if the accident happened cause rider cycle on the road or crossing the road.

If choose to go on the road, there is certain risk have to take. Cannot totally avoid even if follow rules. Its the same with motor vehicle who rightfully belong to the road. They also cannot avoid accident themselves. Don't say other lesser users, like pedestrian and bicycle the likes.

But think if ever really cycling alot alot, be it bicycle or ebike, will know that local idea of a shared path not really that user friendly. It looks good on paper only. But not so much on the human aspect side. Some the condition often worse than on the road. Even though local road at the side where people usually cycle on also not say very good condition.

The conditions asides. There are often plenty of human obstacles on such path to make the ride challenging, if not difficult. At least on the road. Everyone going in the same direction, and at a much faster pace. Its much more smoother.

Its easy to sit in the ivory tower and imagine the perfect world out there according to the plan. And jjww why people don't follow. Cause these people who make the rules and those who jjww others about the rules, are often not very much a user themselves. Thus, it doesn't really bothers them as much whether it works or not. As long as it looks good. On paper.

Anyway, think one main problem with local approach is the sharing itself. Human walk at a much slower pace, bicycle much faster pace, and ebike even faster pace. But they are all put together in the same space. Its thus frustrating for those moving faster to have to start stop often. Not efficient use of resources.

Not to mention the great differences in power between them. Thus putting each other in danger when they use the same space. Especially for human pedestrian, who more vulnerable. Its the same when these lesser users and vehicles go on the road. The danger then is on them, they are the vulnerable ones against the faster more powerful motor vehicles.

Reason why advocate segregated lanes. Cause think it more or less idiot proof it (most, if not all). When the different users of different pace and power are properly segregated. They don't really cross path with each other, thus don't really become a danger to each other. They are only danger among themselves. Which is another story.

Think they won't be really breaking much rules also. Cause much of the rules are rules of engagement when the different users are forced to come together share usage. If they each have their own dedicated lanes. There is probably little or no need for such rules anymore. So, rules, what rules. whose breaking?

Think likewise human pedestrian are walking all over the place. Including the cycling path also. They are a problem for each other, cause of the share usage and not so clear line between them in the user mind. Don't see these people anyhow walk or cycle on the road like its their grandfather road. There may be some on the road, but think the conflict not as much as those on the pedestrian and cycling path.

no enforcement no fines no follow

Everybody knows how to use their mouth to suggest a separate cycling lane, but nobody has the brain to suggest concrete ideas on practical implementation.

SG is too small unlike bigger countries to have such lanes, you think LTA hasn’t done feasibility studies? Already got bus lanes, plus double-sided parking lots, and many busy roads only have 2-3 lanes… where you go squeeze out another lane just for cyclists?

Cut down one lane on the roads lor, roads so wide and many, we have too much space given to motorised vehicles

 

[Mechafanboy]

Not the first time, an aviation engineer Kenna banged while cycling in Pasir Ris. I expect more of such accidents due to Terminal 5 expansion.

So....... POFMA which entity now?

Have the iron & just ban e-bikes once & for all to stop all these nonsense lah. So many instances of e-bikes being in the middle of the roads & behaving like they are motorbikes, don't conform to traffic rules etc.
It's a slap to all those who took the time & money to take their class 2 licences. Not to mention the amount spend on COE as well

 

[Kaylin]

A stall owner at a nearby coffee shop shared that accidents like this were common in the area, but he was not working on Sunday and heard about the crash only the following morning.

Never witnessed yet sibeh kpoh to give comment


RIP, too young

i think its more like the news need to hit a certain no. of words/paragraph so get some irrelevant ppl to interview

 

[popdod]

Just ban e-bikes sua
