is cycling on pedestrian path illegal?

I doubt so...but please be considerate for the pedestrians out there walking..........Their safety may be jeopardies because of the influx of large amount of bicycles.

Nah , i always cycle on pavements nowadays . i cycle on road only when i rushing for time . Most impt is always let the pedestrain have the right of the way or slow down where theres pedestrain in front esp when they are unaware of you . And be super carefull and alert when you have to cycle pass a bus stop with pple waiting for bus becos i almost kana hit by an old ladys arm reaching out suddenly when i was abt to pass by her from the back and also becarefull of pple alighting from the bus .

Look at it this way: can u ask a someone who just learn how to cycle to cycle on the road. he cld get himself kill ; or do u think motorist will be happy if u have someone cycling at snail pace on the road. -
hmm. haven heard of it yet

Well it is dangerous to ride on the road and i have a my fair of near misses on the road , the most scary one is the time when i forgot to check the road for vehicle n directly go down from pavement to the rd and a double decker bus suddenly pass by me missing me by 3cm , i was stunned there for 5 mins before carrying on riding on the rd . Like got someone mention in the newspapers before , when a cyclist hit a pedestrain gte hit by a cyclist , its usually just brusies but when a cyclist get hit by vehicle on the road , the chance of dying is very high .

because drivers come too close to them. and check this out: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=404654&in_page_id=1770Originally posted by mlc:then why so many people still do it
it says that helmet-wearing cyclists are more likely to be knocked down by drivers because they are seen as more experienced..
hm, perhaps it is also a sign of safety that speaks "if got accident won't be injured that badly" to drivers -
no illegal ba. HAa

Yes, cyclist can be fined $50 on the spot. Cyclist are also required to put on headlight and tail-light and switched on at night to warn other road users. However, sadly this rule is quite an grey area and hence, it's heavily violated by cyclist.
However, I'll prefer cycling on the road, just at the yellow line area so that I don't have to ring the bicycle bell at pesdestrain. I've a side mirror plus self designed 'signal system' with powerful headlight so it's kind of alright to me. -
It's illegal. But the police hardly cares unless you get into some accidents or if you are caught on a highway.
The only exception is probably Tampines, which is running the trial for cycling on pedestrian path.
If results are good, there are chances that it will be legalized. I'm waiting for that day. -
to be honest, looking at the behaviour of cyclists on pavement nowadays...I am not.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:If results are good, there are chances that it will be legalized. I'm waiting for that day.
sure there are good cyclists on the pavements too...but I am seeing far more bad ones around. -
this law is as good as jaywalking.. no one really cares
-
News to me. Although I don't cycle I think it's better for them to cycle on the pavement, rather than to beat the odds on the road - traffic can be scarey! As long as they ring the bell to warn when they're passing through, I'm ok with it.

Hmm... it depends on the area and time ba... my area also got quite a lot of bad cyclists... especially during peak hours. Off-peak hours I meet better ones.Originally posted by Xcert:to be honest, looking at the behaviour of cyclists on pavement nowadays...I am not.

Who has the right of way in this situation? Too many times I have had uncles and aunties on their bicycles ringing their bells and expects everybody else to clear the way for them. And if we are too slow to move away, we get a mouthful of 'colourful language' from them....WTH

there once where i'm walking along the pedestrian path, then this cyclist cycle at the middle of the pedestrain path at a slow speed and i said excuse me and he shouted some vulgarities at me and i simply kick his bike and he fall.
