Going cycling with friends is supposed to be a harmless and fun activity. But one group of cyclists ended up infuriating netizens online for seemingly not obeying safe cycling guidelines. Facebook group SG Road Vigilante posted a video on Thursday (Aug 1) showing a group of roughly 30 cyclists that had apparently failed to conform to guidelines for safe cycling on the road. According to the Facebook group, the incident occurred at West Cost Highway, in the early morning of Aug 1. Dashcam footage from a vehicle pausing at a red light showed a pedestrian crossing the road alone. There did not seem to be heavy traffic at the time. A pair of cyclists did not conform to the red light signal and whizzed past him. They were then followed by a contingent of cyclists, some braking and navigating their way around the pedestrian. There did not seem to be any contact between the cyclists and the pedestrian. Prior to this, a number of cyclists were spotted travelling down the second lane, tailgating a lorry in the process. The comments section were filled with netizens upset by the cyclists' actions. Read more
