Forum: Reckless cycling near bus stops puts commuters at risk
May 21, 2025
I have had disabilities and mental health conditions since 2011.
Recently, I experienced two alarming incidents involving cyclists while waiting at bus stops in Pasir Ris.
On April 5, I had just finished dinner and was waiting to board a bus near Block 515. I was looking to my right as the bus approached.
Suddenly, a cyclist appeared on my left – against the flow of traffic – and crashed into me. I was badly injured but was too dazed to take a photo or get the cyclist’s details.
The next day, I reported the incident to the police and sought treatment at a hospital.
Thankfully, I have since recovered from the injuries.
On April 14, I had another close call. I was about to board a bus near Block 500A when another bicycle approached – again on my left.
Fortunately, this cyclist stopped in time and swerved a little to avoid crashing into me.
I urge the authorities to consider installing protective barriers at bus stops to shield commuters from errant cyclists and PMD users, to ensure safer access to public transport.

'Hordes' of cyclists seen occupying lanes along Thomson Road: 'Extremely dangerous'

A Stomper has raised concerns over a large group of road cyclists seen occupying multiple lanes along Upper Thomson Road early in the morning on May 6.
According to Stomper Flo, the incident happened just after dawn and said there were 'hordes' of cyclists.
"It's extremely dangerous to both the bikers and the motorists!" she said.
A video shared by the Stomper shows dozens of cyclists riding in a large group.
According to the Land Transport Authority, cyclists must keep to a maximum length of five bicycles when riding in groups, which means a maximum of five cyclists when riding in single file, or 10 cyclists when riding two abreast on roads with more than one lane.
Cyclists are also advised to always ride as close as practicable to the far left edge of roads to allow traffic to overtake them safely.
Cyclists who are caught flouting the cycling group size rule will be fined $150.
Yes death vs permanent disability...He's very lucky that he was hit by a cyclist and not by a car or bus or he'd be dead.
The more people we can get out of their cars and on to bicycles the safer the roads will be.
Well said...fuck the cyclists...
