Cyclists

I loathe the cyclists I meet on the roads every morning. From Paya lebar, to Guillemard, along the Nicoll Highway up to Raffles Place.

Some obviously think that they are still in their homeland. Some behave as though they are from _ _ _ _ _. Their bikes are old & rickety. They ride on the roads, against the traffic. They ride all over the place from the left lane to the right lane. They don't have the common sense to know that riding at the side of the lane doesn't help either as cars are too big to squeeze through 3/4 of the remaining lane and will still need to cut out to the next lane. They don't pay road tax. They don't pay traffic fines. They don't pay ERP. They get the choice of cycling on pavements and roads. They get to choose to either endanger lives of pedestrians or ruin the future of drivers. They are able to utilize the green, red man or the greed, red, amber lights, whichever turns 1st in their favour. They get away with everything that we drivers don't. They have the privilege of ringing their bells incessantly at us pedestrians & glare at us as though we are taking up their space.

More patrolling should be done around these areas. Laws should be enforced to ensure that these people are educated, albeit the painful way. Fine them, throw them in jail. Do whatever, just take the menace off the roads.

I loathe them.
