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.

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 Evil or Very Mad

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.

BusSpeeder SG

I think it is illegal because i see it quite dangerous. When my school dismissed us, i go to the bus stop and saw cyclist riding on the pavement, nearly knocked down someone who was walking on the path. So it was the best of not cycling on those dangerous paths.

When i was young, my sister and i don't ride our tricycles on pedestrian paths. We rode our tricycles on the park instead as it was safer. It was really fun. Riding tricycles/bicycles in the park is the best. However, my siblings and i don't ride tricycles/bicycles anymore as we were growing and our tricycles/bicycles are getting dusty in our storeroom. So, at my age, i still can't cycle on a bicycle. Sad

With such uncertainty of the law in regards to cycling on the pedestrian path, I doubt the police will do anything about this.

i wonder why singapore govt dun wan to open a pathway meant for cyclists

de_middle SG

it is not illegal however cyclists have to give way to padestrians. A litte kindness & politeness will go a long way & making everyone's day better rite Very Happy so cyclists remember to say "excuse me" & "thank you" Smile

It is wrong for cyclists to be on pedestrian walkways but usually one eye is closed until the cyclist knocks into a pedestrian. Pedestrians have the right of way on pedestrian walkways and the cyclist will be deemed wrong to have ridden there.

If the cyclist had knocked into you and injured you, you could have properly lodged a police report. But in your case, it appears that you have taken the law into your own hands to kick his bicycle and causing him to fall, probably sustaining some injuries....

Both appear to be wrong.... Two wrongs don't make a right. I suggest you both kiss and make up lor....... Laughing

Honeybear1990 SG

nope, cos i ran away without looking back Laughing

Croaking_Toad SG

You dare to remind the uncles and aunties that pedestrians have the right of way??? I wouldn't. Laughing

NewAge SG

Oh i finally found u the ...... that kick my bike.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

It's illegal... but the police don't give a damn... until you get into accidents or if you are caught on highway.

de_middle SG

really illegal Rolling Eyes have been cycling for so long & didn't even know......anyway i always use the roads unless its against traffic Very Happy

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Yeah...

Xcert SG

until the law changes,pedestrians have the right of way.

BusSpeeder SG

they should implement a permanent law towards doing this, it's really uncomfortable for a bicycle on a pedestrian path and we have to give way, if not we have to listen to their words of cruelty.
