That brand is rarely seen among regular road riders.... usually used by pcn riders, road beginners or once a year riders. I think also not paying attention on the road.. This stretch has no lane marking or concrete at side. Usually the metal grating will be along the concrete edge. This road is definitely minor lane and single carriage way. And he assume riding on tarmac is safe. A lot of roads leading to private estates also just tarmac to the edge of kerb.

Unfortunately, the road btw CP F1 and F3, as well as Fort Road and Car Park B1, is a 1-way street. Need to use PCN. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the risk ? Fun to ride there ? I dont think so. But of course if one chooses to take his road bike for a casual cycling there, nothing wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based this logic, voodooman must be driving without looking on the road Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been very windy and the lamp post is next to construction area. He probably saw a lot of discarded packaging from used power gels.

ECP on Sunday mornings is a powder keg waiting for accidents to happen. Parents who ignore and let their kids run around the cycling/jogging track, throw in the joggers, brisk walkers, children on learners bikes, slower cyclists on MTBs/foldies, roller bladers, rental bikes etc all at the same time and one cannot be surprised accidents won't happen. If you're a road cyclist coming from TMCR towards Fort Road, got to be real careful and slow along that PCN stretch where it's a one way before you can go out and use the service road. Unless it's very early like before 6am before the rest of the world woke up. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month, the panel, which looks into rules governing the use of bicycles, personal mobility devices and other equipment, recommended mandating brakes for all bicycles used on public paths and roads. The pedals on a fixed-gear bicycle are directly coupled with the wheels, allowing cyclists to slow or stop the device by resisting the motion of the pedals with their legs. Some cyclists choose to ride these bicycles without handbrakes.As for off-road BMX (bicycle motocross) bikes used for cycling sports, such as racing and stunt riding, the panel said that they may continue to be used without brakes in controlled environments, including pump tracks and skate parks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvobrick Supersonic January 25, 2021 Share January 25, 2021 🥱.... Strictly and effectively enforce current laws first. Put a few of the culprits riding illegal PMDs and reckless cyclists in jail. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
