Ban bicycles from footpaths too, say netizens

[covertbriar]

The ban on e-scooters from footpaths has shifted the battleground, with bicycles now in the firing line of some Straits Times Facebook users who argued that the danger of having bikes on footpaths is comparable to that of e-scooters.
The danger of having bicycles on footpaths is comparable to that of e-scooters, argued some Straits Times Facebook users, and their comments grew louder on that front after an e-scooter rider recently could not afford to pay damages to a pedestrian left with severe brain injuries.

"Cyclists are allowed to share path with pedestrians. Potential (for) similar cases to happen," said Heli Hob Poh, with Eric Chan saying that it causes "much anxiety to pedestrians like me".

These are the morons who adore an overreaching and micromanaging govt.

They're probably also the ones who whined about sand playgrounds... "too dangerous for the kids", so now all playgrounds are made of plastic with rounded edges.

cyclists are fucking nuisance. They expect cars and motorcyclists to give way to them when they are on the road. However when they are on the pedestrian walk way, they expect pedestrians to give way to them also. They are just fucking nuisance

Cycling on footpath is for aunties sending kids to school riding at 4km/h. Cycling on road is for Tour de France cyclist riding at 40km/h. Different breed. Then there are the dumbfucks vehicle drivers who get pissed at the mere sight of cyclists on road. These dumbfucks should be sent to re-education camps to be lectured by Sam Leong.
