Poper 2nd Gear July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 Came across this last Sunday near Kaki Bukit Road where lots of construction workers and "foreign talents" dorms are. This motorized cyclist was riding in lane 2 like he is a tax-paying road user.. Worse, he is an obstruction and safey hazzard to drivers. While halted at Eunos Link junction, I saw his bike sign "LTA Approved".. WTF!!! :angry: Either he is trying to smoke drivers or he kanna smoked by others. I've reported this to LTA and TP. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If lane 3 is left turn only, why not? If he is turning right & lane 2 is the most left lane, why not? The only thing that is he should stand in the middle of the lane like a car. That's to ensure he is not ignored by driver. "LTA Approved"=LTA Approved e-bike only lah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liping24cn Clutched July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 All electric bikes MUST be approved by LTA n indeed need to pay LTA a fee for registering the approved bicycle. So legally he is allowed on the road. The sign is factually correct. There is a blue seal on all approved LTA electric bike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poper 2nd Gear July 11, 2012 Author Share July 11, 2012 (edited) My point is whether cyclist is allowed to ride in the lane like a driver/motorbiker. Bear in mind that they can't go fast and thus, is definitely hogging the entire lane. whether the bike is LTA approved technically is not important; it's how the rider rides it. Don't focus on the digging nose part Edited July 11, 2012 by Poper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't focus on the digging nose part Legally, bicycle = vehicle. Bicycle is required to ride left of the left most lane. For safety concern, it is always advisable to ride in the middle of the lane. If there is sufficient space, it would be good that cyclist ask driver to overtake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodCar 4th Gear July 11, 2012 Share July 11, 2012 In the old day , bicycle also have a red n round registration plate, are we going towards that direction nd make the cyclt pay road tax too. Personally i think it is dangerous for bicycle to be on the road, legality for bicycle to stay on road is a diff issue. I think siuation in every country is diff. For me, bicycle should stay on park connectors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycling is a great and fun way to get around - and under certain circumstances can be faster and more convenient than Public transport. rather than trying to get bikes off the road - I would like to see more effort being put into more routes for them to get cars off the road....

I still maintain that bicycle should stay off road in Singapore context.i am saying this because i care for the cylist life. The driving culture here cannot co exist with the cyclist.
