SINGAPORE – A total of 32 errant cyclists were fined for breaching the rules on cycling group sizes on the road on July 28 and Aug 4.
The cyclists were caught during enforcement operations conducted by officers from the Traffic Police (TP) and Land Transport Authority (LTA), the authorities said in a joint statement.
According to the statement, the cycling group size limit is the length of five bicycles. This means a maximum of five cyclists riding in a single file, or 10 cyclists riding two abreast on roads with more than one lane.
During the enforcement operations, TP and LTA officers also conducted an educational outreach to raise awareness on cycling rules and guidelines.
Cyclists found guilty of flouting the cycling group size rule can be fined $150, the statement said.
It added: “This higher composition fine amount was raised with effect from Jan 1, 2022, to improve road safety and applies to those who break other existing cycling rules.
“This includes failure to stop at red lights, cycling on expressways, and riding abreast of another cyclist along single lane roads or within bus lanes during bus lane operational hours.”

The police reminded cyclists to abide by cycling rules and guidelines for their safety, as well as to keep the roads safe for all.
These rules and guidelines include cycling in a single file on single-lane roads, as well as during bus lane operational hours, switching on front white lights and rear red lights in the dark, and wearing a helmet while cycling.
In a Facebook post on Aug 13, LTA also said that since the start of July, it had detected 77 offences committed by errant active mobility device users in places such as Bedok, Robinson Road, Sengkang, Tampines and Woodlands.
These offences – which involved personal mobility devices and power-assisted bicycles (PABs), among others – include riding of non-compliant devices, using devices on the wrong paths, and keeping non-compliant PABs.

Mountbatten MP Lim Biow Chuan appeals for cyclists using Tanjong Rhu bridge to dismount, be considerate
A bridge too far.

Mountbatten Single Member Constituency MP Lim Biow Chuan has taken to social media to appeal to cyclists using the Tanjong Rhu suspension bridge to be considerate and to dismount before crossing.

Hy-bridge theory
Posting on social media, he reminded readers that the bridge was a pedestrian bridge, and therefore cyclists were not allowed to cycle across it.

At his request, LTA has installed reminders at the entryway to the bridge telling users to dismount their vehicles or devices and instead push them across, Lim said.

Lim's post shared a picture with two new yellow warning signs painted on the ground, describing the bridge as too narrow, likely meaning it was too narrow for both cyclists and pedestrians to use at the same time.

The post also shows similar blue signage posted on the bridge's right hand side, reminding cyclists to do the same.

The bridge spans the Geylang River, and helps residents of Tanjong Rhu to quickly reach the Singapore Sports Hub area.

Residents would otherwise need to take a lengthy detour via Stadium Way.

The bridge is about 130 meters long, but only four meters wide, and many commenters on Lim's post shared their concerns about sharing the bridge with cyclists who had not dismounted.

I'm a sign, not a cop
Many commenters agreed with the danger posed by the errant cyclists, but questioned whether the additional passive warnings would be effective, asking for more physical enforcement, such as deploying auxiliary police to the area, and fining offenders.

Several also spoke about their encounters with such cyclists, saying that they would "whizz past", or when pedestrians stopped and told cyclists to dismount, they would be scolded.

One eagle eyed commenter saw that Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's National Day Rally speech specifically noted the Tanjong Rhu area and plans for its expanded use.

The commenter provided a graphic that showed the suspension bridge replaced with a wider bridge, and lanes that appeared to be bike lanes.

They welcomed the increased utility of such an expanded bridge, but said that the existing one added character to the area, and was a "unique icon", allowing with the nearby lookout tower.

They hope that both landmarks could be preserved through the changes that would occur in the area.
