So many full kit Tour de France wannabes on the roads now. Used to be just the ang mohs, now Sinkies are doing the same.

Usually, the cowardly Sinkies are scared of riding solo on the roads, so they bring along their friends and family members to ride alongside them. Courage in numbers. Pity those drivers behind their 'convoy'.

Can use the death penalty on them? They run the red light, cycle against the traffic flow, they have a death wish. Might as well send them to the maker without affecting other road users

The topics of cyclists' road etiquette and the possibility of requiring bicycles to be registered has been hotly debated in Singapore in the past weeks.
Over the Apr. 17 and Apr. 18 weekend, Land Transport Authority (LTA) enforcement officers and Traffic Police officers conducted enforcement operations all over the island.
34 cyclists were found to have flouted rules.
Riding without helmets, beating red light, and riding against traffic flow
In a Facebook post on Sunday (Apr. 18), LTA shared that together with Traffic Police, LTA enforcement officers focused on communicating safe cycling messages to active mobility users in locations such as the AYE, West Coast Highway, Bukit Timah, and Tanah Merah Coast Road.

Many applauded LTA's efforts
Facebook users responded enthusiastically to LTA's Facebook post. In the first three hours that it was posted, it garnered more than 1,500 likes and 700 shares.
Some chimed in with their support for LTA's and Traffic Police's efforts:

A number of people who identified themselves as road cyclists also voiced their support:

Others encouraged them to conduct more enforcement exercises, some even suggesting specific locations to do them:

Others, however, encouraged LTA to focus on motorists rather than just on cyclists:

If a truck runs thru them, whole lot will die together.

Not right lah. We need to update our traffic lights and rules. Make sure cyclists have uninterrupted passage. You don't like it when people interrupt your game when you having fun right? I implore the government to make Singapore roads safe for our foreign friends.

Their cowardice is always accompanied by their bullying ways. Occupying entire lanes and holding traffic up.
And why are these idiotic cyclists not charged for breaking social distancing rules aka no more than 5 or 6 cyclists in a group?

Many of them MAMIL are turned on by kitting themselves up from head to toe.

Why you need to these Tour de France cycling outfits when you are just cycling socially ?

Unlike golfers...they need to put on proper attire because the green rules are such....no wear Tour de France outfit is breaking the rules of cycling ?

Once, i drove pass one of such cyclist on the road. I gave him a lot of space because only half of my car was in the lane. For no reason, he gave me the middle finger. I didn't honk him, just a normal day on the road. These people are too sensitive.

I think the $10000 bicycles will not look so cool if we issue a large visible license number to deter them from using the middle-finger.

Cars are killing 120 people a year yet the authorities use resources to go after a handful of harmless cyclists instead.

if it snows in sg, and there’s a ski slope, sinkies slalom wannabes will don the most sexpensive ski attires and sport the most atas ski equipment to go down the slope. and then claim they are fastest in the world with videos to boot (like many tdf wannabes but no champions so far leh.) this frenchie does not need to howlian.

Cyclists on cycling lane should have right of way, otherwise how can they achieve Strava PB. And what’s the point of cycling lane?

This is just a wayang to appease Dowager since her Facebook has spoken. Furthermore, once we weed out these errant cyclists, the cyclists haters have less ground against us.

TP don’t identify skin colour. The high SES AMDK cyclists are smart enough not to commit these stupid mistakes in front of TP.

It’s not a matter of looks, it’s aerodynamics.

They are smart enough not to breach the rules. You might have seen what looks like 50 cyclists together but they are not from the same group.
