dangerous and rude cyclist

Straightstick SG

Then maybe it is more a case of attitude / mannerism.

It is the same, like if a person who walks (pedestrian) is saying "excuse me" nicely, or whether he is saying "excuse me" with loud volume and being pushy.

It is not really whether it is right or not right for a cyclist to be on the pathway.

The problem is....there is no cycling path....

So he either go to the road...or onto the pathway.....but really, both of these scenarios are not optimum.

You were right in saying that there was no cycling path. This implies that roads were originally designed (in the case of singapore) for pedestrian and drivers. Not cyclists. It is just like the case of FTs influx into Sg. Should we change our lifestyle to adapt to FTs or the other way round?

I wont insist that cyclist cycle on the main road. I drive too and I must say that I hate cyclist on the road. Just like what you have mentioned, they are actually viewed as pariah by many car drivers.. Especially if they were to hog up an entire lane or worse.. I have seen PRCs and Banglas driving against traffic flow! They were cycling towards me!!

Nobody can have the best of both worlds. By cycling, cyclist already saved a great deal of money (compared to car owners) and time (compared to pedestrians). It is expected of cyclist to be understanding and not invading into the rights of pedestrians like sounding bell aggressively etc... If one day someone were to get killed (maybe elderly) after getting knocked down by cyclist.. This might forced govt to ensure that cyclists cycle only the on main road..

By then cyclists can have a taste of their own medicine... This time they will be honked at by faster moving and larger vehicle (cars, lorry, bus etc)... When that day comes that I shall ask the same cyclist how he felt...

I feel that cyclists should be made to go for official test before they are allowed to cycle in the public.. be it main roads or pedestrian crossings.. (That excludes recreational area that's meant for cycling!). This ensures that they know basic traffic rules and some basic ethics pertaining to cycling..

lol well thts totally what i meant. I would signal... obviously just running through them is rude. But they totally deserve it, if they continue to ignore me and not move.

I think it is rude and aggressive people likeyou that's causing all the conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians.

Try driving on public road okay? Experience how it feels like to have faster moving vehicle honking you and expecting you to give way...

Like what you said.. if you don't give way I think they should just drive over you... Haha..

ya and its cycling that saving this environment.

Also, im not as idiotic as you are. If a car honks at me whilst i am cycling, i would give way. If not the car would have every right to run me over. Imagine that a group of cyclist refusing to give way on the road to a car behind them. Thats like you, you retard.

whyiseverynametaken SG

haha rude and aggresive people... so says the guy who previously posted "high controversial" on highschool dropouts and what should be done to them.

mancha SG

Car drivers don't signal because.....

Later bicycle riders won't ring their bells because...

They will just sneak up and then suddenly zoom past.

mancha SG

The footpath can incorporate a bicycle track.

It just a matter of want to or don't want to by the government.

Want to, just do it.

Don't want to, they have all sorts of excuses.

Kia si.

You are assuming that everybody in Singapore is as stupid as you. Apparently you have never driven before or knew anything about singapore's driving culture..

Nobody in their right sense of mind (unless if it is the above idiot) would want to run anybody over. Even if it wasnt the driver's faults it would also be very troublesome because of all the investigations that need to be done and not to mention the grief that any normal human being would felt for taking away th life of another human being (unless the person is worse than a beast like the idiot.)

Wow.. You are a fan of me or what? Bloody lifeless stalker. You actually bothered to read through all the other stuffs which I wrote? That shows how insecure you are... Can't even carry out a proper debate (shall not use the word 'debate' because all that you have said are considered as rubbish and thrash in my opinion).

Go and get a life please. Stop your online stalking. Mr Empty Vessels...

whyiseverynametaken SG

I have a life, and it revolves on annoying you. I dont even understand half of what you write. "unless the person is worse than a beast like the idiot"? what does that mean?

And when i am old, if a cyclist rings a bell behind me, i would step out of the way. Because I'm not a dumbass who blocks paths. Read what i write. I said i would signal, and if some poser (i can totally imagine you being one of those guys who thinks he's better than everybody), like you still stood in front of me, then i would run right through you. And i wouldn't do that to old people, thats just mean. I would target people like you; who's a big poser. Unless you're old, handicapped, retarded, or have a hearing aid then my apologies.

So i guess I'm sorry.

Rock^Star SG

just step aside, give way....what's the big deal? LOL. so what if the road is narrow? so what if the cyclist kept ringing his bells? Just step aside and give way, no big deal.

Kevin(: SG

Ya la alr say give in and give way :D relac :D

iceFatboy SG

In bishan, there are many cyclists that uses the walkways. I have nothing against 99% of them, cause they signal and when we give way, they say "thanks", and we nod our heads.

But the 1% is spoiling everything. They come real close to you, ring their bell, and "tsk tsk" if U don't move fast out of their way.

Sometimes, we just come back from NTUC, with heavy stuffs, and pushing a stroller with our youths, how to move fast? Once, they even almost hit my pregnant wife, and gives me the "tsk tsk" and rude stare. I really wanted to push a stick into their wheels, see what happens next, but the good nature in me just ignore.

while to most, it is a chicken and egg thingy, I feel that if there are crowded walkways, cyclists should alight and push their bikes. Just a short 5m, and the cyclists should be able to go about their way. Not a big deal, right?

Kevin(: SG

Haiyo !!! Cal them take th road and get honk at !!!!!!

Actually if the cyclist rings at the pedestrian far ahead (say about 20m ) it would not be so annoying. This would alert the pedestrian that a cyclist is aproaching from behind. A simple ting would do, not the incessant ringing.

Pedestrian could give way, no big deal.

Can this be the cycling ethiquet?

likeyou SG

When a cyclist saw pple in front of him/her, he/she should slow down and push the bicycle, instead of ringing madly to give way.

whyiseverynametaken SG

haha man you're soooo hypocritical. You're reading my old posts now, even though you said i was a stalker for reading yours? First Hitler's genocide on school dropouts and now reading back on old posts? You are hilarious.

What scary is the cyclist accidentally ram into you from behind.

whyiseverynametaken SG

all that shit you said to me isn't english dipshit; and you probably have more grammatical errors than everybody else on this topic... So stop schooling me on english, which you probably failed in Singapore.

Cannot be like that lah....its so impractical to dismount and re-mount everytime a cyclist see people....Do u know how many times it has to be done? Maybe more than 20 times for a relatively short distance.

I do slow down, in fact, I slow down until very slow, everytime I see people. But dismounting is not neccessary I think.
