Let's urge our gov to build 6 lanes!

Lane 1. Overtaking lane

Lane 2. Car

Lane 3. Commercial vehicles

Lane 4. Motorcycles

Lane 5. Bicycle

Lanes 6. Iron man runners

[laugh]

 

But seriously, if the gov gonna build an extra lane, it should be the motorcycle lane. At least they pay roadtax, insurance, erp...etc

Build an extra lane juz becos of this 1% of road users? Lol u got to be kidding...

 

now this one also come in and fight [laugh]

I am not your mother/father/wife/husband. You wanna induldge in this hobby, you do the due deligence to do that homework. Take responsibility for yourself and stop asking to be spoonfed

 

What I do know is: NOT on busy Singapore roads

Since u said somewhere safe in Singapore, please give me some suggestion. Don't get angry if you can't think of a road to do so.

 

Lastly, which Singapore roads is busy 24/7?

This is a closed road events. There is no other traffic to bother you.

 

Let's me give another question. Next year, i am going to run HK marathon, which has a totally different terrain as Singapore. Should i train in the gym or somewhere on this island with similar terrain?

 

My invitation to ride on the road still open.

 

 

it is obvious that for safety reasons it is a close road event..................but who is going to close roads for you to train????.............how are you going to train in a similar closed road situation????

 

Marathon runners run marathons in different counties and different terrains.............how do those runners train????...........do they get to train in similar terrains of every event????.................As distance runners.........basic training are all the same...........stamina and endurance...........maybe you just need to go a week earlier to train ard there for orientations ...........

So, it has nothing to do dangerous to ride on open road. Thanks for the clarification.

 

 

cycling on a closed road event and cycling on a busy road is two different things totally as far as safety is concern.............

None. ok ... so open wide ... say ahhh.... feed:"go ride between 2am and 5am along Lim Chu Kang Road".... good boy. Seriously: grow up

 

I can think of many roads which is NOT 'busy 24/7'. I am angry that someone who claims to be an active cyclist who engages our policy makers can be so anal, childish and dumb. It speaks volumes on how backward the cycling culture is beingdeveloped here in Singapore

I did not ask for close road training. I only ask Scoots where is safe to do so (since he suggested it)?

 

Running on flat road & terrain uses different set of muscle. In Sg, more of the road is flat. In HK, there is a lot of terrains & 4km tunnel towards the end of the run. It requires different preparation as compared to SCSM.

Since FT trailer is so harmful, shouldn't you question TP on their licensing regime?

 

These trailer is also harmful to car especially those milo tin 1.

Oh yes.....west coast hwy. Was behind a trailer which was in the middle lane and filtered left as i was going to turn left towards fong seng nasi lemak. Just as i pulled left, in front of me was a pack of farking morons riding in pairs, laughing and gesturing on the left lane. Luckily swerved back to the middle lane in time, otherwise...... [dead][dead] If these idiots continue to cycle like that, i bet the west coast trailers are gonna win one day..... :angry:

 

 

had the same problem along jalan Boon lay...........in the early morning rush hours............. [shakehead] [shakehead] [shakehead]
