Just kids having fun. We used to cycle just like that a long time ago.

During your era, Singapore population was 2.5 millions. You can close your eyes to cycle in Orchard Road without any worry. Now, every 1 meter with eyes wide opened, you will still risk knocking someone down.

Yes my time I cycled to school in mornings almost 20km and the journey almost an hour. Lornie highway along the way. The ride was both scenic and enjoyable and at no time dangerous or impeding traffic flow.
Do it now only if you have a death wish

They were arrested for being highly skilled at handling their bicycles?

There is a fine line between having fun and being a public nuisance. These idiots should be castrated and not allowed to pro-create.

Lornie road (old) has now been shrunk to 2 lanes each direction instead of 3 lanes (previously).

They have now used the road to construct a very very good PCN for joggers and cyclists.

Very very serene and extremely calming everytime I cycle between CP4 and CP5 on the map above. The only thing is that between CP 4 and CP5, the track is undulating, so it can be quite taxing on a 16inch wheel bike (eg. Brompton) compared to larger wheel size bike...

Cars cause far more death and destruction. There is simply no comparison.

The authorities should concentrate on ensuring that drivers actually have decent eyesight rather than wasting public money on arrest and prosecution of harmless cyclists. How about a regular eyesight check for motorists. This simple requirement will save lives whereas going after cyclists is just a publicity stunt.

See for yourself just how bad the driving is.

Too much emphasis on cars. Car drivers have more rights than others. Car drivers should by bright respect other road users.

So to summarize, it is not the vehicle that causes accidents. It is the driver behind the wheel. A car is just a car.

Give an idiot a car and he will kill some innocent bystander. However if you put him on bicycle chances of him killing someone else is a lot lower. If anything he will kill himself and that's karma at work.

A good example to illustrate this is the Lucky Plaza incident. Innocent lives were lost while the driver was unscathed. Had he been on a bicycle chances are he would have broken himself and the maids would have escaped with just cuts and bruises.

Jail the bastards.

Wow .... Johore riders came here to roam the streets of Orchard? Mata same same sleeping like in JB. Power siah.

 

[glockman]

Cyclists have a bad rep in SG because of these hooligans and those retards in tights that hog an entire lane. There are also too many cars. It's no longer fun to cycle in SG.

Too many people. Period
There’s no place for bicycles on the roads now not even the minor roads there’s just too much traffic.

More people should use bicycles and the traffic congestion will be significantly reduced. Cities that embrace cycling become safer and more pleasant to live in.

Not always the case. A automobile might attempt to dodge the irresponsible cyclist before colliding with the busy maids' area. The weekend congregation of maids is also the source of the issues.

" Two of the cyclists cannot be named under the Children and Young Persons Act as they were 17 at the time of the offences in May.
The remaining four cyclists are: Ahmad Noordinie Mohamed Noorshah, 19; Muhammad Irfan Muhamad Noor, 19; Muhaidy Marhady, 20; and Muhammad Aliyul Qadry Mohamad Razak, 20. "

You over complicate matters. Very often there is nothing to explain why drivers simply run into things despite the complete absence of things to dodge and distractions to overcome.
