[Singapore] - 16 cyclists arrested by Traffic Police & LTA for beating red light and riding against traffic flow on Apr 17 & 18

Cars should be made cheaper so more can drive. N licences for bikes and cyclists n insurance etc for all. That way all sides are responsible n liable...not just cars n their drivers. Why should cyclists be exempt?

Cars are on the way out around the world and eco friendly transport modes will be the face of the future.

It's just a matter of time.

Yes electric and hydrogen cars are coming... however hydrogen cars are duds.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

I have no issue with this, though I can’t say it is of any use.

Liability and accountability for all. If the cyclists cycles like an asshole n gets hit...the cyclists bears all responsibility

How come LTA acted within days of Ho Ching commenting about licensing cyclists, when irresponsible
cycling by groups have been going on for years? And the Transport minister has no comments?

Nope, it is a bike specific insurance.

Hmmm..how come mine charge me excess of 15% of sum insured ? What is the name of your insurer ?

 

[porcaputtana]

Many of them MAMIL are turned on by kitting themselves up from head to toe.

Why you need to these Tour de France cycling outfits when you are just cycling socially ?

Unlike golfers...they need to put on proper attire because the green rules are such....no wear Tour de France outfit is breaking the rules of cycling ?

Why don't you try riding in a peloton at speed before making moronic ill informed comments like this?

 

[porcaputtana]

Here we go again ... cyclists get off the road because they don't pay road tax, COE, etc etc...

And people say Singaporeans are among the most highly educated in the world.

To the keyboard warriors who have wet dreams of running down road cyclists : Be a man! Stop your mental masturbation, get in your vehicle this weekend and mow down everyone you see at Upper Thompson and Mandai. Not carrying out your threat makes you a ball-less coward.

The cycling jerseys are needed because for the pockets at the rear. That's where you put your snacks, your phone and your wallet.

The lycra shorts are designed with no seam down the middle which could cause chafing and blisters in the the most uncomfortable of places if ordinary shorts are used.

It is possible to go for a social ride in just ordinary shorts and T shirt but it would be very uncomfortable for a ride longer than an hour.

Lately, there have been many instances of reckless cyclists on the road.
In two days alone (Apr 17 and Apr 18), Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforcement officers and Traffic Police officers found 34 cyclists had flouted road traffic rules.
Mr Seetoh joined others online voicing concern about reckless cyclists.
“Of course we have to address bad behaviour by all road users which is why there’s a law that will punish all registered and trained road users,” he wrote.
Articulating the anxieties felt by motorists, he added: “Tell me if a driver has never wondered what some wahoo riders will do when they approach a stationary bus at a bus stop from behind (bike has no mirrors and dun even bother to see if there’s cars on their right before they swerve into the second lane and endanger the second and third lane users.). Or what a cyclist will do when they suddenly see a little pothole on the road and naturally swerve, and test the reflexes of the poor driver behind”.
“It’s pointless to sing the green transport song and fear discouraging riders when you cannot keep all road users safe in this stressed-out land-scarce roads of Singapore,” Mr Seetoh wrote.
“If your roads are not bike-friendly as yet, go easy on encouraging green lawless riding on the roads, please.
“You have to make that firm decision on your own, no point putting up some select committee of opposing views and get nowhere with it. Dun ask which group is more impt. Safety is not bargainable,” he concluded.
Earlier this month, footage of cyclists in Singapore taking multiple lanes sparked online debate regarding road safety.
At present, cyclists and PAB riders are allowed to ride on roads, but not on expressways and road tunnels. Under the Road Traffic Act, it is mandatory for cyclists and PAB riders to wear a helmet when riding on roads. There is also a code of conduct they should follow when cycling on roads under the Highway Code. /TISG

Who’s this ugly guy? Is he of any significance?

Exactly. One tackle and fall to the soft turf and they get carried off on a stretcher weeping like a little girl.

Cyclists will continue with full thickness lacerations and complete the stage before discovering they have also fractured a clavicle.

no wonder everyone wannabe a Tour de France cyclist.

That’s true. Roglic completed his ride with both butt cheeks bleeding. Sometimes I see bleeding arms cyclists. Once someone in a high speed pleloton goes down it’s hard to avoid unless you can do a perfect bunny hop.
