The cyclist who was involved in a spat with a driver near VivoCity has spoken up, saying the driver in question had shown him no respect.
The cyclist, who wanted to be known only as Keneth, reportedly also lost his cool with another woman driver near the Telok Blangah area in September this year, reports The New Paper.
The incident at VivoCity went viral online after a two-minute video from an in-car camera was posted on Youtube on Oct 8.
It showed Keneth weaving through traffic towards Harbourfront walk and gesturing angrily at the driver in the middle of the road.
"We were both approaching the red light," said Keneth.
"The car was so close to my bike and he kept honking at me.
"There was no other vehicle behind him. He had no reason to honk me."
He added that he approached the driver to ask why he had honked, but the driver's wife simply told him they had a camera.
As for the Telok Blangah incident, Keneth declined to comment and insisted that it should be handled by the police.
But, he added: "She tried to run me over."
The incident, which took place on Sep 16, involved a 41-year-old housewife.
She was returning to her condominium, Caribbean at Keppel Bay, when her SUV nearly collided into Keneth's bicycle.
In a video captured on a closed-circuit television camera, Keneth is then seen banging his fist on her car window, reaching through the window when it was rolled down in an attempt to open the door, while shouting abuse.
The housewife said: "He was violent, aggressive and used vulgarities. "He even threatened at one point that he'd make sure I got my licence revoked."
Keneth is believed to be Australian and has been in Singapore for 14 years.
He chooses to cycle regularly although he owns a car.
He claimed to be a safe road user who has been cycling since he was three.
