STOMPer Ailin is fed up with rule-breaking cyclists who run red lights and who ride side-by-side, hogging lanes and forcing other vehicles to change lane unnecessarily.

"Have you ever seen cyclists in Singapore beating the red light and cycling side-by-side?
"Well this behavior is not only inconsiderate, but also dangerous.
'Sometimes they can be quite irritating, especially if you are a bus driver. Because they 'take over' the extreme left lane and sometimes even occupy the middle lane, heavy vehicles like buses and trucks have to change lane unnecessarily.
"And because they don't follow the traffic rules, they can easily overtake vehicles by beating the red light or when a bus stops at a bus stop.
"And the whole cycle of over taking and being taken over can go on for a very long distance.
"Maybe in some other countries, cyclists are allowed to use the road in the way they want, but here in Singapore, where roads are much busier and lanes are relatively narrower, cyclists have to follow the traffic rules even more strictly.
'Being one of the many road users who share the precious three-lane-space on the road, every one of us has to learn to be more considerate, for others' convenience and for our own safety."

Remarks like some of you have made do nothing more than prove you have a chip on your shoulder.
Not all white people are rude, in fact, its the minority.
Just like not all cyclist break the rules.
Honestly, some of you act like a white cyclist here and there doing the wrong thing is enough to brand all ang mohs as rapists and murderers.
SureorNot and co are steadfast in their convictions, I respect that. Its just to me there are many more worse things in the world to worry about....And well, who are we all to judge a cyclist doing wrong? always us your blinker? never do anything wrong ever? thought not.

My message to cyclists is this. If you want to share the road with the drivers, then please obey the traffic rules like everyone else.
