Over 50 cyclists seen hogging road in Clementi

The government knows that cycling results in a net gain for society and can save millions of lives and this is why those trivial rules are not enforced.
In particular lives saved from cycling will far outnumber the lives lost to Covid.

Bicycle riders have long known that riding maintains fitness, and biking has been used as a tool to promote public health – for instance, through the creation of urban cycling maps designed to assist riders in finding optimum routes.
Now, a new study led by Colorado State University (CSU), US, has for the first time estimated the health benefits of urban cycling in 17 countries.
According to the research team, up to 205,424 premature deaths could be prevented each year if countries support high levels of urban cycling, with 15,000 of those deaths in the US alone.
The study, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, modelled the benefits of promoting urban cycling up to 2050, assuming that car travel is 100% replaced by bike trips.
Study senior author and avid urban cyclist Dr David Rojas-Rueda, of CSU, says the research found global biking policies may provide important mortality benefits in the years ahead.
“This study should be seen as a call to implement policies that support sustainable mobility and a healthy urban design,” he says. “Current policies will impact our future and the health of future generations.”
The study compared current cycling trends with high levels of urban cycling in 17 countries across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
The high cycling 2050 scenarios were based on policies that have been shown to bring a rapid increase in cycling participation. This includes such things as retrofitting cycling infrastructure onto existing roads to create route networks; implementing bike-share systems in large cities; reforming laws and enforcement practices to better protect cyclists; investing in walking facilities and public transport to offer trips that can be combined with bike trips; eliminating policies that support additional motorised vehicle use (such as free parking and fuel subsidies); and establishing a regime of fees to charge a price for driving.
The research team used a quantitative health impact assessment methodology, which considered the physical activity benefits and the risks associated with traffic fatalities and pollution inhalation during bike trips.
They also focused on the adult population in the 17 countries, and included the impact of electric bicycles.

Unless its a race, you don't really need to cycle in groups. Just by yourself its safer. Less time consuming too. No empty talks.
Which part of the rule is breached? From the video, it is clear that the good cyclists are maintaining the required social distance
The guy off the front is even stronger than Pogacar. To ride away from the chasing group takes considerable strength and talent.
My study found that walking is better.The government knows that cycling results in a net gain for society and can save millions of lives and this is why those trivial rules are not enforced.

That’s probably Porcupattana with multiple mRNA boosting his power
This shows that even poodles n TP all park somewhere sleeping, seen patrol cars meet n relax in remote area, mostly malay n jiuhu kiak aka PR ,eat snake.No winder little India case all go hiding,
I am impressed too. We might finally have a chance at the Tour de France.
China has the most bicycle riders and zero racing bikes.
Racing bikes are for sport events not to hodge roads. Why don't get tennis players play on the road....
Racing means to take the machine to exceed high speed not suitable to car road users....
Fuck the fucking angmoh bastards...

China is the biggest maker of racing bikes.
Yoeleo and Winspace are 2 awesome Chinese brands
he’s breaking wind for the benefit of others behind him and “breaking wind” at the same time in order to let others know what he ate and digested the day before.
Taiwan, not China... Shimano brand is not made in Japan, Taiwan kia borrow Japan language to market it to sound like Jap product.... fake... no historical meaning in Shimano word.... sounds like 死在马路
What so nice about racing on flimsy skinny wheels where it claim to reduce friction... stupid race low IQ create stupid sport...

No longer Taiwan… it was Taiwan in the 90s but today most of the frame of Pinarello, Cannondales… you name it… all made by contract manufacturers in China
