Some longtime cyclists blamed it on rookies venturing out on their two-wheelers despite a lack of awareness, while others said that seasoned cyclists — especially those in groups — are typically the ones causing conflicts and crashes on the road as they overtake slower riders.
“Usually when separate cycling groups bump into each other by chance on their pre-planned routes, overtaking can create conflicts between the two groups. When recreational and more seasoned groups end up sharing the same roads, tension and conflict occurs. Speaking to TODAY, Mr Benjamin Kwek, an avid cyclist who has been with the cycling group Joyriders Singapore for close to 10 years, pointed out that new riders from the cycling boom that happened during Covid-19 are the “unexperienced black sheep” of the cycling scene here in recent times.
“A combination of education, regulations and enforcement. Can't have one without the other,” he said. Similarly, any legal suits involving collisions between two cyclists will need evidence to determine who is liable for damages.
