[b]Close shave for triathletes, bus driver did not stop to check
A group of 20 cyclists training for an upcoming Ironman competition had a close shave on the road, when all of them fell while trying to avoid a TIBS bus and one of them was nearly run over, said STOMPer Edmund Oh.
TIBS is now SMRT Buses![/b]

they can use the cycling path, but not all places have and they still cycle on the road. irritating is when bicycles drive reverse of where those vehicle drivers are moving.Originally posted by muziq bus:CYCLISTS are irritating anyway.

According to the law, they are supposed to be on the roads and riding on the footpath is prohibited.Originally posted by muziq bus:issit legal to cycle on roads anyway?

Recently, Tampines let all the cyclists ride on the footpaths. But everywhere else they still ride on footpaths and the govt don't care. -

Even so, buses gotta look out for them esp their speed
If it's too fast though there's spacing, the cyclist can be swayed off the road -

Bikers here are too pampered,Vehicles have to look out for them and to avoid when necessary,Some even road hog the road by cycling on the centre at a one way road.In other countries like M'sia,Thailand or Vietnam the bikers have too watch out for Vehicles and accident cases usually left untrail.

SBS bus nearly skids into temple
Student William Tan, 24, was startled to find this SBS bus in the middle of the road along Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 at about 7.30pm on Sunday (22 July).
According to William, the driver had somehow made a wrong right-turn and nearly skidded into a Chinese temple.
Fortunately, no one was hurt and there was no damage to the temple.
"The passengers in the bus looked fine, still seated comfortable when this photo was taken," William told STOMP in an MMS.
"The bus driver was missing though," he said.
William said the bus was gone when he passed by the same area half an hour later. -

I guess it made a turn INTO Ave 8, cause only 941 runs there. By the way, the road up ahead (at the junction of Millenia Insitiute) one GT plate pick up overturned around 1800hrs when I passed by on service 174, SBS227P. Police was on scene. Maybe the bus got diverted because of that, end up U turning but cannot get out. Buses always seem to meet such problems.

I think it is kind of unfair to say that. There are good cyclist around, just that they make up the minority.Originally posted by muziq bus:CYCLISTS are irritating anyway.

Well, maybe bikers are too pampered. But sometimes, the vehicles are just as bad as some cyclist, driving as if they are invisible, and sadly this sometimes leads to the lost of life. Singapore has one of the worst drivers in the World.Originally posted by carbikebus:Bikers here are too pampered,Vehicles have to look out for them and to avoid when necessary,Some even road hog the road by cycling on the centre at a one way road.In other countries like M'sia,Thailand or Vietnam the bikers have too watch out for Vehicles and accident cases usually left untrail. -
