When they coming to Pasir Ris though!!!

This is my pet peeve de jour, speeding cyclists on the pavement trying to 'bell you' out of their way. I just ignore them, but it doesn't go down well at all!
You can tell them what they're doing is illegal, but they just look down and with their 'water face' try and barge past you...

There is the clothesline move as well. Maybe that's an American football thing.Strong Eagle wrote:Umbrella stuck "accidentally" in the spokes.JR8 wrote:---Barnsley wrote:Asia Number One News Portal .....

Funny you say that as I did recently consider doing thisStrong Eagle wrote: Umbrella stuck "accidentally" in the spokes.

What I have done is completely 'tear a strip' of one such bullying law-breaking uncle. That time it had happened about 3x in a row between home and the shops, and I had a brief lapse in the usual 'let it all wash over' mode. Of course he just put on a water-face and continued barging past me. If made feel a bit better though, that at least some kind of justice was reached.
edit: repetition.

Re: About Time ......
Waiting for the bus to work this morning ..... The pelaton from the Tour de Pasir Ris went past , however they appeared to be not too concerned about red lights as they just went straight through them.
Even the guys struggling 40m off the back of the group and not going particularly quickly went straight through the lights.
I appreciates when you are cycling up hill (a slight incline) you probably dont want to stop and go however laws are laws and they should abide by them.
Singapore really isn't conducive to serious road cycling, the park connectors and cycle lines on the footpath are not for serious cyclists, so unless you are very lucky with traffic lights , ride up and down that road by the side of the airport, or there are some roads "out in the wilds" that don't have traffic lights every 100m you are not gonna get much serious action without breaking the law.
