After 2 months doing so, i find eventhough Singapore has a good road to do, it’s not necessarily safer compared to cycling in European countries.

In Singapore, Road bikers risk themselves of getting hit by those complacent and not alert drivers. Generally, i find Singapore car drivers are selfish and less alert on the road.

Cycling on the cycling track posts not less danger as well. There are many people using the cycling track as pedestrian way and evenif you ring them, many times they just ignore it. If you hit them, immediately either they will hit you or report you to the police.

Another danger is from canine pets, especially dogs. For example, on certain hours, either early in the morning or in the evening, you can find people walk their dogs along the Hillview Avenue/Bukit Batok East Avenue 4 area. Some of these dogs are untrained and there were many times the dogs tried to chase and bite the cyclists on the cycling track, which unfortunately happened to me recently where an untrained german shepherd being walked by a caucasian lady stepped on my track and tried to bite me. Tried to avoid the dog but alas, it chased me off the track to a muddy ground on the side and just dropped my self off the bike and for sure, catch some injuries and bruises in the process.

So, is Singapore a good place to cycle?
