Another day, another footage of cyclists going viral.
But this time, it’s not one, not two or three cyclists.
Instead, a cycling group of more than 40 riders appeared on the road, forming a line nearly 20 metre long and occupying almost an entire lane.
The video has since gone viral.
The 20-second video shows the incident happening on Sunday (8 September) along Bukit Panjang Road, heading towards Bukit Timah.
The road has two lanes, and the cyclists were occupying the left lane.
The group, consisting of both men and women, stretched nearly 20 metre from the lead rider to the last. The person who recorded the video uploaded another clip on Monday (9 September), mentioning that they passed the same stretch of road again around 6 AM and saw another group of more than 10 cyclists riding on the road.
It’s unknown if they have any permission to do a Tour de France in Bukit Panjang, but if they didn’t, then it’s against the law.
Current Cycling Laws in Singapore
When riding in groups, cyclists must keep to a maximum length of 5 bicycles in a single file, or 10 bicycles if riding two abreast (only allowed on multi-lane roads).
Violating this group size limit can result in a $150 fine.
In additional, cyclists should always ride as close as practicable to the left edge of the road and never more than two abreast. Riding two abreast is only allowed when road and traffic conditions safely permit it. On single-lane roads and in bus lanes during operational hours, cyclists must ride in single file.
