White bicycle along coastal road.

All lanes occupy by cyclists.. and one even cut cross the double solid centre line to opposing direction direction. How to drive around these cyclists, except to watch out and follow them behind

 

Are you all that gong that you can't tell a photo shopped image from a real one??? [laugh]

[Porker]

Next time I see you cycling on the road I will come out and kick you down then run away

Those pictures are real and the TNP had issued an official statement along with a sequence of pictures.

 

Although it really does look like it was a half-arse PS job, it probably was not as the sequence are taken in a burst mode and the depth of field effect (camera automatically focusing in and out quickly on subjects) made it looked fake.

Thanks for that. Didn't know the TNP commented on this already. If undoctored, it shows that the cyclists were turning right.

 

Still looking at the position of the edges of each image, I'm skeptical. It doesn't seem like burst mode. The zoom levels vary from pic to pic. Of course this would only be possible if the defense sequence was edited prior (for whatever reason) to showcasing them.

 

Where are the actual unedited images to show that the pics haven't been doctored?

been a avid cyclist 10yrs ago during my thinner (LOL) days.

 

Even when cycling on the road, we make sure we stay in a single lane riding as close to the yellow line as possible.

although we sometimes go out to centre lane to overtake slow moving buses, tats when we make sure traffic is clear.

 

 

i notice nowadays pple like to cycle abreast, i duno wads going thru their minds abt road safety.

 

There are old retirees in their 70s driving or taxis whose night vision will not be like what they have in their heydays or pple who r drunk, esp at changi coast road where there are plently of pubs in changi village. Or big trucks turning out from changi cargo complex and rushing their deliveries.

 

 

Not to racist but i do notice most of these cyclists who cycle abreast are ang mohs.

 

 

anybody can share the riding culture why this is so ?

 

They are paving the way for drivers to know the road rules better (at the expense of their own health) so that in future, us locals can ride within the boundaries of the law [laugh]

Look at the tree positions. The images have been edited for sure. Dun know why TNP doesn't dare post the unedited images.

 

[Elfenstar]

Continue waiting ... I stated before and will state again: I do not need to ride to know that it's dangerous.

 

And to correct you: WRONG AGAIN! You DON'T have a point and you ARE only about wanting to win arguments.

By your own actions, you have proven (again) just how delusional you are and how true my statement of you is. Your own words in this post about wanting to goad a response WITHOUT stating any point just proves that.

If anything, the only point that you have constantly proven to all here is just how insanely subjective you are on this topic.

 

Ironically enough this is a thread that's started about observing deaths from cycling.

 

Cycling may be your way of life. I prefer to centre mine around my loved ones instead of a thin metal frame and 2 wheels that's thinner than my forearm.

 

You two are still going at each other??? It's been a very long time you know...........

[Elfenstar]

No, it isn't.

7.

(1) No bicycle shall be ridden on the right of another vehicle proceeding in

the same direction except when overtaking such other vehicle.

(2) No bicycle shall be ridden on the right of any two other bicycles

proceeding abreast in the same direction except when overtaking such

other bicycles or on parts of roads or paths set aside for the exclusive

use of bicycles.

(3) Wherever part of a road or a path adjacent to a road has been set

aside for the exclusive use of bicycles, no bicycle shall be used on any

other part of the roadway

 

"Another vehicle" includes another bicycle, naturally.

 

Before assuming a cocksure attitude about the entitlement of cyclists, you'd best read the road rules first.

 

I'm surprised you didn't see what was written in 7(2) Did you know, motorcyclists here are actually not allowed to lane split, but just like cyclists are allowed to ride abreast of each other in a lane? No overtaking in the same lane by a third motorcyclist is allowed though.

cant see anything wrong w d trees anyway who cares if pix r real or not. truth is every wkend morning lots of pro looking cyclists beat red lights all over d island. I join some of these grps sometimes n alot roll thru red lights, sometimes close to hitting d ah peks n ah sos crossing the green mans...

 

also i wont mentioned a certain race but as a driver myself, they r d most common ive seen to cycle in d middle of d road to avoid slow busses or extreme right lane way ahead of a road right turn. Nothing wrong w that but i dont wish to see them complaining if they get hit

[Elfenstar]

every job has its inherent risks. whether cabbies on the road or engineers in ship yard.

 

do what you need to do to protect yourself.

 

in this case, the cabby was a collateral damage of the ferrari driver, which DID NOT adhere to the laws of the road leading to the accident.

 

to reply to your question, the cabby accident was sad, but he did not have a alternative. cabs are meant to be on the roads. cyclists arent. they are meant to be riding in parks.

 

when you put a cyclist on the road, it's the equivalent of putting a taxi in a park. i.e it's a accident waiting to happen.

 

I'm sorry, but where did you come across that cycling is meant to be in parks? What does our law say? What does history say?

I know who and what you're talking about. The question is, are these pro looking cyclists a majority of all cyclists or just a visible minority? Certain govt departments, should know full well the routes used by these cyclists, and their habits, yet I have seen nothing consistently done by them other than giving fines to cyclists who are on pavements.

[Elfenstar]

Well the rules of the land state cyclists are allowed on the road. Unfortunately in the design of the roads they have made it dangerous for cyclists.

 

But shall we leave this here and agree that we have different viewpoints, otherwise we will go round and round and round etc.

 

The designs are mostly fine lah. The problem is the attitude of many in the various groups that use it.

[Elfenstar]

From the pictures I see only one cyclist was making a u-turn. Maybe he missed the turn. The rest were turning right. There is a small section where they were turning right which is only a single white line. If they were turning right into that side road then nothing wrong.

 

Knowing the type that does laps there, I suspect he's one of those idiots who thinks it's too inconvenient to unclip his shoes from the pedals while waiting for the van to pass.

[Elfenstar]

Bluntly speaking, cycling should be barred from roads, simply because the traffic condtion and roads in singapore are not suitable or meant for cycling, it is just too dangerous and not worth the risk. Every year, there will be lives lost due to their vulnerability. Cars are protected and motor-bikes can easily manourvre out of danger, but bicycles cannot.

 

Actually in another thread I extrapolate data from a study and combined it with TP's accident statistics. Motorcyclists still have the highest fatality rate out of all.
