Why dun ban all bicycle in Singapore?

A bicycle without a license plate is a bigger threat on pedestrian walking on a pedestrian pathway.

If we become more rigid with rules, we will become very close minded.

I see it all started downhill when PMD was introduced.

Then we were even thinking of last mile for PMD to take us from train to office. 

I suppose technology is there, but the behaviour of sharing space was not

Singapore is too densely packed, and there is an attitude problem with the errant PMD riders.  They used to ignore PMDs until the problem got out of hand with the start of the gig economy, and more and more PMDs zooming around causing accidents with pedestrians. 

The way I see it, unless bicycles start crashing into pedestrians, I think the authorities will still choose to ignore the problem. Seriously, all it takes is to spare the manpower and effort over some weekend mornings targeting a particular group of errand roadies will ensure a better outcome for everyone in the end. They had to do this consistently to set the mindset and tone to use the roads right for this group of riders, and enforce the punishments accordingly. Come on, if they can stake out cameras on overhead bridges consistently, they can stake out to catch them red handed. 

If all else fails, then set legislation such as licensing etc, getting rigid with rules as the last resort for bicycles.

I would be very tempted to spray rear windscreen in this case (wagon)! 

To ensure the rear cam takes clear video.

Hope you have added mama lemon in the reservoir 😄

There are heavy fines for a speeding car driver i.e. revenue to sustain the enforcement. You can't fine a cyclist much.

I see a lot more PMDs on pavements and pedestrian crossings now. After the earlier big show, there is hardly any enforcement now. 

exactly its extremely hard for any kind of enforcement on them, cos they not identifiable.

there is simply no accountability for them or no obligation at all for them to follow the traffic law. 

now we must push for them to put on number plate before going onto the road.

drivers must take all the idiots video and post , so authority will  know how bad it is.

more idiots here

They are like shapeshifters. One moment they are pedestrians, the next moment they morph into cyclists when the traffic light is not in their favour. When they beat red light, they morph back into pedestrians again. Finally they morph into cars to cycle on the 1st lane and expressway.

On another note, some of these fat/obese/overweight shapeshifters should stop squeezing their blubber into leotard. I suspect some of the accidents happened on the road because of these repugnant sights.
