Which traditional AMDK residential area and which workplace is linked by Mandai? 

Don't tell me the Mandai Zoo.... 😛

I dunno. And you maybe right🤣

Many AM now not living in town area. 

Maybe work at Yishun industrial area 🤣 got a few MNC.

Maybe Night Safari work late so cycle early😜

Ok....to be fair... most people commute to work on bike cycle solo.

Thomson Road/Mandai Road speed limit is already 60-70kph.

Expecting other motorist to share the road with them and giving them the 1.5m space is effectively slowing down the already congested road to slow down to <40kph (assuming that is their avg top speed) when vehicles especially larger commercial ones needing to "eat into" the next lane just to pass the cyclist. Mind you, our local road lanes (and carpark lots) are already one the narrowest in the world if you have driven overseas.

I am sure most seasoned drivers know the frustration when they attempt to "share the road" during peak traffic hours. 

So if you tell me these cyclist are cycling for leisure/training and not as a transport to work, it makes them even more of self serving entitled s-oles.

I agree with you that ppl who cycle during peak hours hinder traffic.

Ppl who cycle for leisure/training usually do it really early, like before 7 am.

LTA/TP had received complaints of group ride more than 10 along Mandai Road btw 5am and 5:15am.

I regular use Thomson Road btw 6:30am and 7am.  The traffic at that hour is light.

If traffic is able to flow beyond 40km/h, i will not consider it as congested.

AMDK could be living in 6th Ave.

From 6th Ave to Selatar Airport

This distance could be 20km or less.

20km really is nothing.. leisurely abt 45 mins on a 451 foldie..

on road bike with their powerful leg is less than 30 mins 

[Atonchia]

My car avg speed shows 31km/h.

My cycling avg also 31km/h🤣

Shorter rides like 40km ride can be 33km/h. 

Not sure how the car average speed is counted. So a lot of time our car trips are start stop start stop.....🤦🤣🤣

Cycling computer doesn't count stop time. Only moving time. To make the cyclist feel good!

Before sunrise, Certain traffic light will never switch on Green light if only bicycle is waiting at the junction.

The Mandai and Woodland road junction.....turning right from Mandai to Woodland.....

Must press pedestrian crossing to activate the right turn in the wee hours.🤣 Unless there's a vehicle at the traffic light also waiting to turn right.

yeah....$150/pax.....assuming they can track down everyone one......Their ROI better hiding on overhead bridges to shoot their mobile laser speed cameras. Not to mention less work.😁
