[Sg video] - Taxi driver vs group of cyclists
- Thread starter UltimaOnline
- Start date
Cyclists don't cause jams they help clear jams whenever a driver decides to use a bicycle instead. If all drivers opted to use bicycles there would be no necessity for COEs and ERP in the first place.
1. Motorists have been quoting COE and road tax to death. This merely exposes their ignorance and stupidity. COE is to control car population and roads are built with general income tax. Get your facts right.
2. Cyclists are not entitled. It's the other way round. Because motorists pay COE and road tax, cyclists should get off the road and make way for them. This is the prevailing attitude.
3. In spite of the multiple choruses to ban or regulate cyclists on the road, the government will do nothing. Regulating cycling runs counter to their policy of car lite society and healthy lifestyle. So this will not happen. Pelotons are now back to 20-30 strength and the police is making no effort to enforce the max 10 rule.
4. Similarly a politician will be happy to be photographed cycling (promoting healthier active lifestyle) but will never be photographed driving a car. Learn the narrative and know which side the lawmakers are on.
5. The best way to engage cyclists on the road is simply avoid them. The road is wide enough. I don't understand why motorists would want to purposely engage and antagonise them. In an altercation between motorists and cyclists the former will invariably lose. This is simply because in the eyes of the law cyclists are seen as the more vulnerable party and deserves the protection of the law.
6. This taxi driver may be right to jam brake, but now he has a whole lot of legal problems to deal with. Anyone who can afford a $20k bike has legal muscles. If he had just kept his ego in check and went on his merry way, none of this would have happened.

not if they are “elites” with $69k in cycling gear and attire, $699k car, $6.9m home, who pay $6.9k for an f1 vip booth, dine on $699 per person dinners, wear $69k watch, have golf and cuntry club membership, and drink $6.9 artis-anal coffee. 69c kopi is too low crass for these jokers of sinkie society. once they lose their jobs, they becum grab drivers, kpkb on forums, and vote oppo.

Taxi drivers usually just complain over beers, but end of the day, most still vote the incumbent
Top of the range Pinarello costs in excess of $27,000 in NZ and is worth more than most of the cars that will drive past the cyclist on an average weekend spin.

27 riders injured in Hong Kong Cyclothon, including 13 in pile-up; sports body defends course layout amid athlete criticism
- Thirteen-person crash occurred before noon during eight-lap race open to both amateur and elite riders along Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom Bypass
- While riders question traffic cone placement, chairman of Hong Kong Cycling association says configuration similar to previous races
The 13-rider pile-up occurred before noon during an eight-lap race open to both amateur and elite participants along Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui and the Hung Hom Bypass. During the second lap near the Empire Centre Shopping Arcade, a cyclist hit a traffic cone while trying to overtake other competitors, causing riders behind them to crash.
A mainland Chinese participant surnamed Qu described having little time to react.
“I was going very fast coming down and when I started slowing down, there were a lot of people,” Qu said. “The person in front of me slowed down suddenly, and I could not hit my brakes in time. That was how I hit his rear wheel and fell.”

Cycling is one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Certainly not suitable for the faint hearted.
hk cyclothon’s mistake is to allow pros and amateurs to compete on the same route at the same time. all it takes is one moronic tiong tdf wannabe to spoil the event.
These cyclists are recreational cyclists who should have stayed home or cycle in the designated cycling zones during their off days instead of clogging up the roads during peak hours.
With them cycling does not mean that they would have been opted to not driving a car.
