This shows that the authorities are looking into cyclists safety issues and are keen and committed to making improvements. So let’s unite and work for a better, friendlier and safer environment for all cyclists.

Ride of Silence is a yearly event, the next one is next year and should be some time in May or June, if the organiser do organise again.

Cheers!

Great work. Keep pushing for more cyclist rights.

I’m a Singaporean currently in Germany.

Cycling is a great solution to many of Singapore’s congestion problems.

Singapore is a small country, reachable mostly with a bicycle.

Too bad the authorities don’t have the sense to see the value of promoting cycling, improving infrastructure to protect cyclist, etc.

Keep it up !

It is good that your daughter learn about safe cycling from the young age and that should eventually become a habit to her.

We are currently conducting Safe Cycling Clinics in Tampines and Pasir Ris Town and some adhoc request from primary schools. At the moment it is not a regular session but clinics will be incorporated into the grassroots events. We touch on some essential traffic rules in the clinics but do not go into details, you may want to pick up a “Highway Code” booklet and start sharing with her from there.

May I suggest you drop me an email (safecyclesg@gmail.com) with your contact number and I will see if I can slot you in one of the session if you do not mind traveling to either of the two towns (I will speak to the person in charge when it comes).

Hope this helps you.

Cheers!

I was wondering if there is a regular event going on that teaches safe cycling to school children. My 7 year old daughter just recently learned how to cycle and I am thinking of starting her on the roads soon but it would be great if I can send her somewhere to learn traffic rules and safe cycling.

It is great to see someone doing something about cycling conditions in Singapore.

One thing you might want to consider doing is leaving a completely white painted bike (ghost bike) at the scene of accidents where someone has been killed. I have just moved from London where they do this every time someone is killed. The effects are quite chilling and remind passers by to slow down. Very simple and cheap too.

There is a picture of one on the following.
