A cyclist who was previously caught on camera breaking multiple traffic rules in Tampines has responded to criticism with a defiant message.

In an earlier Stomp article, the cyclist was seen running red lights and weaving between vehicles, sparking concerns about road safety.

He was seen riding without a helmet as he ran not one, but two red lights and failed to keep to the left side of the road.

However, in a video posted on SGRV's Facebook page, he appears unapologetic, defending his actions in a series of statements.


"If you disrespect me, I'll disrespect you and I'll ask you to wake up," he declared.

He also justified his riding style, citing Singapore's many traffic lights and his speed.

"I cycle at 40kmh eh... you expect me to ride on the pavement and kill somebody ah?"

Despite acknowledging that Singapore is a country with 'rules and regulations', he insisted he was not the cause of traffic congestion and took issue with disapproving looks from others.

"Do not look at me and shake your head from 500m away, 'cos clearly you know I will scream at you," he added.

His comments have sparked further debate online, with some netizens criticising his reckless behaviour and calling for authorities to 'get him off the road'.

There is no need for licensing and insuring of cyclists just as there is no need to do so for pedestrians. The risk is low and the damage, if any, is minimal.

10 year old kids can ride around on bikes for goodness sake. I used to cycle 15km to school every morning and more than 20km back again with all the detours thrown in. Never had any issues. A few close calls with crazy drivers though but I never harmed a fly and neither did any of my other cycling mates at the time.

Oh yes... cyclists are Soo safe ...and what is 'minimal harm' caused by the cyclists? Pedestrians become invalid?

The stats tell the whole story. How many killed by cyclists annually?

In the meantime traffic accidents caused by motorised vehicles cause 1.5 MILLION deaths every year.

People who think cyclists are the issue are barking up the wrong tree.

Cyclists are a danger to other road users....all the more reason to licenced, insured and be legally accountable to others...

2 out of 10 cyclists fall while turning left from Tampines Ave 1 to Ave 10, vehicle occupant laughs at them​

The road was apparently wet or oily.

March 08, 2025, 03:01 PM​

A total of 10 cyclists were riding along Tampines Avenue 1 and turning left onto Tampines Ave 10 when one cyclist slipped on the road and fell over causing another to follow suit.

Footage of the incident on Mar. 8 at about 8am at the junction was caught on a dashboard camera of a vehicle waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

One of the occupants in the vehicle that recorded the scene just outside Waterview condominium could be heard laughing off-camera after witnessing the accident.

What video showed​

Footage of the incident showed a group of 10 cyclists turning left from Tampines Avenue 1 to 10.

However, it appeared that while the cyclists were still in the midst of completing the left turn, the traffic light turned green for vehicles travelling straight along Tampines Avenue 10.

This indicated that the cyclists could have beaten the red light, which typically takes three seconds to go from green to amber to red, before taking another three seconds to go from red to green.

It appeared that two of the last few cyclists were the ones who slipped and fell.

The bicycle of the cyclist who first slipped and fell slid from the left-most fourth lane to the second lane, with the cyclist ending up on the third lane.

The second cyclist who fell was apparently brought down after making contact with the fallen cyclist on the third lane.

Cyclist responds​

A person claiming to be from the cycling group replied in a comment on another Facebook video that the cyclist who fell had hit a wet or oily patch on the road.

The person also claimed that the group are a race team that trains frequently and were riding in a "legal size of a group".

Reactions​

Reactions to the video, as well as the person claiming to be part of the cycling group, were mixed.

While many said they would have also reacted by laughing and cheering, a few commiserated with cyclists by noting that riding on the road is risky.

Some commented that cyclists who meet with such accidents pose a danger to themselves and other motorists as the fallen rider could have struck a passing motorcyclist.

Others debated whether the cyclists were going too fast while making a turn and if they were riding two abreast, as well as if they had beaten the red light.

What should cyclists do on the road​

It was previously reported that the police advised cyclists to abide by cycling rules and guidelines, for their safety, and to keep the roads safe for all.

Cyclists must:

• Obey all traffic signals and travel in the same direction as the flow of traffic.

• Wear a helmet when cycling on roads.

• Always ride as close as practicable to the far left edge of roads, and allow traffic to overtake them safely.

• Cycle in a single file on single-lane roads and during bus lane operational hours.

• Switch on front white and rear red lights in the dark.

• Always use bicycle lanes when available, and do not use any other part of the roadway.

• Keep to a maximum length of five bicycles when riding in groups, which means a maximum of five cyclists if riding in single file, or 10 cyclists if riding two abreast (only on roads with more than one lane).

• Not use mobile communication devices while riding.

• Not cycle on expressways, road tunnels and selected viaducts.

Don't see them as a danger to other road users at all. When a cyclist rides like an idiot he hurts himself. . On the other hand when a motorist does the same the results can be tragic!!!

Look what just happened to this poor chap.

He hurts other cyclists too because they could or did run over him..and what happened if a motorised vehicle was next to him? The poor driver will get into trouble trouble for something beyond his control caused by a cyclists...tat why the laws need to be enforced for cyclists to be accountable, licenced and insured.

If a motorist ran over a fallen cyclist it wouldn't make a scrap of difference whether the cyclist was insured or not. Stop clutching at straws and please come up with a logical argument otherwise you're just wasting my time explaining things to you.

When it comes to bad driving nobody can beat this clown. It took him less than 20 seconds to take down 3 bikers!

A cyclist would never pose this sort of danger to other innocent road users.

Let's see who the main contributors are to the daily carnage we see on the streets of SG.



Hardly a cyclist in sight.

If a cyclists falls and get run over by a vehicle, why should the driver be held accountable when it's no fault of the driver but the fault of the cyclists? And since the cyclists is insured, the vehicle driver will be compensated for the damage of his car and the cyclists family will get a payout ...what is wrong with that? What if cyclists hit pedestrians? Stop clutching at straws with your greed, selfishness, irresponsibility because the law right now favours you as you can cause accidents and get away with it...

So apply the same logic to a pedestrian then as hitting a jaywalking pedestrian can cause thousands of dollars of damage especially if the said pedestrian happens to be overweight which is often the case nowadays. A motorcyclist that hits a pedestrian can fall off and get killed.

The line has been drawn which does not require non motorised transport modes eg walking, cycling, horse riding, push scooters etc to be insured as it simply not practical. If you can't accept that take it up with your MP.

Huh? Horses can travel on the street? Tat is irrelevant as horses are too few in number and not out in public like cyclists, the issue is cycling on vehicle roads..and cyclists flouting road rules..hence the need for them to be licenced and insured..if pedestrians act irresponsibly on roads..won't they be charged and fined? And U said non motorised...that means PMDs should be licenced and insured too ..and let's make it easy..non motorised remain on foot paths....motorised on roads... cyclists when cycling run red lights etc, hit pedestrians, end up bearing all liabilities...

While your intentions appear honorable, you have not had the opportunity to compare different jurisdictions with different legislations whereas I have.

Insurance is a good option for those who want it. However making it compulsory does nothing more than bog down the system with red tape and overall costs increase dramatically. NZ's voluntary system works a lot better and insurance premiums are a lot lower as a result. The concept of "compulsory" has many downsides which is the reason why I'll never be in favor of forcing red tape on anyone regardless of what they ride or drive.

So there should be no red tape for cars etc?
