Some say it is because of one's bad luck, others say it's a mere coincidence. 

I say it is due to stupidity.

Watch how the cyclist causes this accident in this video.

What Happened?

The accident occurred at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1.

In the dashcam video, the traffic light switched from amber to red within seconds.

Despite this, a "Tour De Singapore" cyclist on a road bike decided to ignore and beat the red light.

At this point, the pedestrian signal across the junction turned green, and pedestrians started to cross the road.

Even as the cyclist started approaching a group of pedestrians, the cyclist made no effort in attempting any evasion manoeuvre and continued cycling straight into them.

As a result, the thick-headed, errant cyclist who beat the red light collided with another cyclist cycling across the pedestrian crossing. 

The collision sent the errant "Tour De Singapore" cyclist and his bicycle flying.

Luckily for the cyclist who got hit, he seemed fine and managed to get back on his feet instantly.

What Now?

Unfortunately, like all other errant cyclists out there, this cyclist will get away with it.

Who in their right mind would beat a red light just before a major cross-junction?

It takes lots of guts and even more stupidity to do something like this and put other road users in danger.

Obviously a noob cyclist with no skills.

Nowadays bicycles think they are big f**k, on the footpath expect pedestrian to give them right of way. On the road, if a vehicle cuts them they jus make a big gesture and shout. i have seen such nonsense as a jogger and a driver countless times.

the cyclist in the video seems damn entitled. above the law

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    The art of doing nothing?

    Here’s a quick fun fact for those who’ve sworn themselves entirely off TikTok, out of the fear of having to run yet another social media account: You don’t actually need to log in to the app to scroll it. Quite incredibly (but also quite scarily), the platform’s algorithm is still able to curate an incredible array of videos that it thinks will make you want to keep scrolling. And for this existential-crisis-ridden 28-year old, it’s decided to feed videos more along the 'self-help’ route re

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of

    Why oolong tea could be the superior drink of choice at lunch

    Coffee - without sugar! - has long been (and still is) my go-to option to accompany my lunch. Amidst a larger 2025 goal of reducing the number of cups of kopi-o kosong I gulp down a week, however, I’ve recently thought about how my lunch experience can be switched up slightly with yet another sugarless drink: A can, or indeed bottle of oolong tea. Oolong tea is said to offer a perfect balance of flavour and functionality - perfect not just for complementing one's meal but also reinvigo
