Cycling on footpaths is ILLEGAL


But the MP for Tampines GRC and Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan said let's do a trial to allow cycling on Tampines pathways for a YEAR.

To me, it is not just a matter of courtesy for a pleasant experience for cyclists and pedestrains. To me, it is just plain safety ignored without proper grounding and education for ALL residents.

Do not expect me to move aside for a cyclist to pass. If he or she touched me with his/her bike, I will sue him for physical assault, emotional disembowelment, loss of income and whatever else my lawyerS can think of.

Mr Mah, with due respect, please focus on clearing the jams off the roads and make them safe for all wheelers to use.

Let us not complicate the issue by bringing the unmotorised two-wheelers with significant kinetic energy onto the pedestrain pathways.

Good riddance to a lousy trial.

P/S - Btw, thank goodness I don't stay in Tampines.
