Poor Sandwich class (cyclists).

Funny thing in Singapore... pedestrian point at cyclists just like cars pointing at cyclists... but cyclists very righteously recite and claim their unpaid "rights" to the use of road and footpath.... so no wonder not so many people pity those cyclists who disabled, handicapped and died on the roads....
So Singapore the only country that tries to out-run global warming with a rising GDP?

Well, my respect goes to those who cycle for both fitness and transport. It's never easy being the sandwich class, killing many birds with one stone for a good cause I guess- against jealous car drivers who grumble about COE, ERP etc and against greedy public transport companies who try to chase you off the road simply because they only want to charge you more money:
