if riding with the flow they cannot c then sometimes cycle out then must slow down / stop leh
Okay, there's traffic rules for all cyclists to conform to, otherwise, TP can issue them a warning or fine. You can read the rules in the basic theory hand book for Class 3 license, there is a section for the rules cyclist should obey, if you want further clarification.Originally posted by MRaJ:but if i am not wrong... cyclist cannot cycle on pavement... they dont really have a chioce but to go on the road...
not saying they are entirely correct..
but they shud do their part and keep the most left of the lane.... on the shoulder or on the double yellow line... not obstruct drivers![]()

No, they're not illegal. They're still classified as cyclist, depending on how powerful their motor is. IE if they can go faster than 60km/h, they are allowed on expressways. They will be classified as a motorcycle. However, very few are, thus they're still classified as cyclist.Originally posted by sgboy2004:How abt those motorised bicycle? Are they illegal?

nope. It is misleading to say they are classified as cyclist... as long as it have a motor, it is considered a motorised vehicle...as such, when travellling on the road, they have to apply for COE.Originally posted by :No, they're not illegal.

so far never encounter any cyclist who cause any disturbance to me...Originally posted by Kel^83:guess most drivers do encounter cyclists on the road.
any comments on them?
I don realli like those back pack cyclists cos some of them will take up the whole lane thus slowing down the traffic. They cycle as though the road is theirs.
Yeah... and we'll see how much "patience" u have when u met some tat thinks they "owns the road" and "paid road tax". I mean, comon!! We drivers paid road tax too!!Originally posted by the Bear:for crying out loud.. cyclists have every right to use the roads!!
give them leeway.. and be safe!
frankly, they are the least of my worries when i'm driving.. the most dangerous maniacs on the roads tend to be the semi-sentient idiots who think they own the road because they "paid road tax" and drive like they are indestructible and everyone owes them to give way to them...
the other maniacs invariably are the bus and taxi drivers...
cyclists try to get out of the way and stay out of the way, unless they are old dudes who think they own the road... and they behave like the maniacs who "paid road tax"...
have a little patience!
i would think a lot of accidents are due to impatience..
i think they have power ratings. if it's over a certain power rating, they must be treated as motorcycles.Originally posted by sgboy2004:How abt those motorised bicycle? Are they illegal?

Those damn cyclists should be cycling on the predestrian pathments, not the roads!! They r endangering themselves for goodness sake, and the other road users.
And as for give and take, seems tat only the drivers are giving and the cyclists are the ones taking. I feel tat those motorcycle riders r more sensible than those cyclists do.
Once turning from boon lay way(at night) to corperation rd, ALMOST hit a motorised bicycle. Tat "dude" wear all black, no lights no nothing. Can't even notice him. I gave way to him. Tat donkey stared at me then block my way by weaving in and out of both the left and right lane and dun let me pass... WTF!?!? I FEEL LIKE tailing him and hit his rear tyre and let tat donkey kong fall down, then drive beside, wind down my window and mock at him. Angry siah!! I'm not alone tat night, another p-plate driver beside me, we look at one another then shake head. I suggest banning cyclists off the road altogether.
A piece of advise for cyclists "hero wannabes", if u wanna ride on the highway, get a motocycle, else get outta my way and use the damn predestrian pathment. Cos we, the drivers, pay road tax too, so u cyclists ride safely like we do. Wanna do stunt? Go TCS sign up for bicycle stunt double, work there for a month and u can get urself a motocycle and throw away ur bicycle.
Cheerz!! Except for cyclists.
but a lot are still found on the roads lehOriginally posted by sillyme:i think they have power ratings. if it's over a certain power rating, they must be treated as motorcycles.
and those 'legal' ones should on be used in private compounds. not in east coast park.. nuisance!
