SINGAPORE: Cyclists in Singapore welcomed the move by the Land Transport Authority to trial a new dedicated cycling lane in Seletar that would allow them to cycle on the road on Sunday mornings starting from mid-October.
Co-founder of recreational cycling group Love Cycling SG Woon Taiwoon said the new dedicated lane will serve to help new riders to try out the route, as the environment in West Camp Road is"actually quite safe". However, Mr Woon wanted to know how the dedicated cycling lane will be enforced. He added that it could potentially make things very complicated because"there is a very limited window - 5am to 11am".
" a very nice U-shape, I call it the horseshoe. It's a 9km loop that cyclists can do," said Mr Yeo, who cycles at Seletar Aerospace and Tanah Merah Coast Road with his group. Another cyclist, Clarence Lee, said the road is"good training ground" where there are certain spots that allow cyclists to sprint"really really fast" and other spots which allows them to recover.Related:However, while it is good that cyclists have a safe road to cycle on, another cyclist, Anthony Yeo, said that it may be dangerous if the lane is packed with cyclists.
"I think it would be great if we could extend the trial to include weekday nights as well because the place is deserted anyway. What about Saturdays, and actually the whole of Sunday.Mr Lee also said that some cyclists feel the dedicated cycling lane is"just like another bus lane", as buses are still allowed to use the lane.
