A cyclist died in an accident with a car in Tampines on Monday (Feb 10) morning.

The deceased's family, via a family friend, made a social media post appealing for witnesses or dashcam footage of the accident.

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police said that they were alerted to the accident, which occurred along Tampines Avenue 9 towards Tampines Avenue 2, at around 7.45am.

The accident involved a 61-year-old male cyclist and a 47-year-old male driver.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) conveyed the unconscious cyclist to Changi General Hospital, where he subsequently died.

The police arrested the driver for driving without reasonable consideration causing grievous hurt.

Investigations are ongoing.

There are too many drivers who are impatient or lack awareness of their surroundings when switching lanes or turning at crossroads. The side swiping of bikers and cyclists is common. I was a motorcyclist in my younger days before I could afford a car, and once had a lady driver knock me off my bike when she drifted into my lane.

That's why I gave up cycling. My bicycles are now wall art, collecting dust.

Singapore road is too narrow
Many blind spot in between big buses and lorry
Many satik Maserati Drivers
Many satik Jiuhu Mod Motorcycle
Singapore road design is more like snake-n-ladder
Last minute pop up rubbish truck or cut tree man

Lots of money spent building PCNs, widening pedestrian walkways for cyclists. Just oil your bike again, pump up the tyre's and get moving....

Problem is some cyclist think they have the right to a entire lane
