what cyclists are they? the one on those racing bikes ah?
my best experience has to be at the junction of bedok north road/bedok north road extension/bedok reservoir road.
i was on the rightmost lane to go str8 frm bedok north road to bedok north rd ext... there were PRC cyclists on the rightmost lane of the road. so i was thinking.. "wahh.. this PRC so fierce cycle take rightmostlane..."
AFTER the junction, they E-brake & put leg on the central divider to look back & wait for their fellow PRC friends!!!! AT THE CENTRAL DIVIDER!!
lucky i cud siam to the left a bit & there were no motorcyclists on my blindspot. -
I think they treat Singapore like PRC, in PRC they have special bicycle lanes.
Our FTs will import more of their FU attitude to Singapore.
-
they were not riding racing bikes .. jus some ordinary bmx ..... n is not PRC .. is some uncle ...
-
the worse offenders are those sports cyclists groups on their racing togs and bikes .... some of them actually ride 3 or 4 abreast and have absolutely no situational awareness ......
-
anyone has travelled along changi coast road, you can see cyclists most of the time on that stretch of road
-
not racing bike hog lane? I really hate them sia.... very sian .. always need avoid them.. in sg you hit them = you pay $$$$$
-
well they do belong on the road after all. i cycle on the road when the pavement has pedestrians but keep to the yellow double line. at junctions i try to go as fast as possible after the coast is clear.
maybe you just happen to met those inconsiderate kind.

i think we all need to exercise patience. the road is for all users. i ride my roadbike a couple of times a week. when i ride alone, i am very defensive on the road. when in group, there's slightly more safety in numbers. however, it all boils down to mutual respect to one another between the cyclists and the motorists. I dun zig zag, i stay on the left lane most times.
the reason why some cyclists occupy the left lane is becos there are some motorists who tend to pass the cyclists very close to them, the draft can cause the cyclist to lose slight control if he/she is not careful. i have personally encountered some drivers who drive pass me within inches on their vehicle almost on purpose. occupying the lane will almost certainly force the motorists to filter out to the second lane to overtake.
when i am driving, i have an enhanced awareness of these cyclists and give them the space they need. i can say most are responsible cyclists. there will be a few pinheads who want to show off, but there is still no reason to endanger their lives.
if you encounter those in a big group, i.e. 10-50 of them, just overtake using the outermost lane. in a bigger group, it is inevitable some cyclists sway out as it is not easy to ride in a group of varying ride skills.

why cant u just follow them behind before making the turn? how long were they from the turn? some of the cyclist ( me included ) takes up the left most lane ridin in a big group in a 3 lanes road as it's more safety and drivers can see us better.if u slow down instead of sudden braking, and the behind car horn u, i will just filter out and let them go infront and box them in since they so retarded anythin oso horn..
-
yes. as a fellow driver & cyclist too... i only learn to give & take. i also cant expect myself to cycle on the double yellow lines cos' the rocks and stones may make me fall instead.
but the PRC stopping on central divider cycling on rightmost lane is outright impossible. -

there are some who ride in groups and think that they are invincible. bloody hell, wait until someone hits them then they see flesh or steel stronger.

i always purposely drive very fast and close to cyclist on the road hoping to knock them over with the wind and suddenly horn loud loud when im just beside them.
when i have friends with me, i will tell my friends to throw tissue at them.

unless u are driving at 150km/h or u are a 3 ton big truck going at 85km/h.... There is no way yr wind can knock out a cyclist.U can try driving as close as 40cm pass the cyclist and risk killing someone!

I also met some guai lan cyclist. It can be frustrating. But, leave and let live. Especially the ang mo cyclists... really deserve the middle finger. Obstruct traffic and like what TS has said... still guai lan. :(
