School boy cyclist in a Coma after collision
This happened on 18th Sept 2012, Junction of Balam Road and Circuit road. I am documenting so that we can have more information on the cycling incidents on our roads. My thoughts are with the boy and his parents. :(
This is Balam Road/Circuit Road on Google map. Have a look at the accident area.
Observation
1) It is a residential area with 2 school with in 200m radius. Probably lots of students would be walking, cycling around esp during the early morning, after school timing.
2) 3 lane with a smooth banking right hander turn
3) Traffic light implemented at Balam/Circuit road, with sloping ramp for the elderly on wheel chair
4) A row of shophouses along Circuit road where pedestrians will try to jaywalk.

Please help Singapore Cyclists Plead to PM
If you feel strongly about more needs to be done. Pls send ur concerns, fears and message here. This is my message to our PM.
Cycling is really nice and enables us to explore many places which we didn't even know existed. Like the sembawang hotsprings for example. I am glad to see that our cycling community is growing and having a strong Kampong spirit. Last count we have over 2000 Facebook members and it is quite a task to keep up with the postings and activities.
As I got more involved with cycling community building, I begin also to take more notice about the lack of attention for the cyclists safety. We as lovecyclingsg have been actively trying to improve our cyclist's odds by sharing more information, conducting safety clinic. We also wrote to Ministry of Transport and LTA to ask that more be done for cyclists safety and share on the cyclists plight.
http://smallwheelsbigsmile.blogspot.sg/2012/05/letter-to-mot.html << this is the email message to MOT .We also have had a first meeting with LTA on the 2nd July and there is not reply from them. I don't know what more to do which is why I am writing to you directly.
Today early morning, 3 cyclists was hit by a lorry at Loyang road. One of the rider name is Freddy Khoo. I don't know him personally but I was told he didn't not make it. He leaves behind a wife and son. This is what is left of his bicycle.
Sir, I appeal to you. Please help make the roads safe for cyclists.

Strict-Liability - will it work in Singapore
I found this article from Copehagenise and it talks about the heavier vehicle responsibility on the role. Now this is not the case in Singapore and I was just thinking... with COE at 50K and care drivers getting charger left right and centre.... Can this ruling ever be possible in Singapore?

A hit and run case involving a cyclist
Thru facebook, I got to know of this traffic accident on the 8th Dec morning It involved a cyclist who was riding in a popular cycling route - Changi coastal road, near the cargo loading area. The most horrible thing is that the motorist ran away after hitting the guy! FYI, the cyclists is still in a critical stage and in ICU. The family is appealing to the public if anyone have seen this accident.
To the driver of the silver lorry. Please think of the cyclist you have hit. What you did was wrong and running away is not solve it. Think of his family, children and friends.
