Man rides bicycle through crowd on narrow walkway outside Yishun supermarket
No space, no problem?
A man was spotted cycling outside a supermarket in Yishun, even as the walkway was crowded with pedestrians.
Stomper Koh Joo shared a video of the incident that occurred outside FairPrice supermarket at Block 414 Yishun Ring Road on July 20, at around 10.30am.
In the video, the cyclist is seen using one leg to steer himself forward on his bicycle as he weaves through a throng of pedestrians.
He resumes cycling normally when he leaves the busy walkway.
The Stomper's video also zooms in on a no-riding sign on a lamppost.
Koh Joo said the incident left him "irritated", adding: "Our government has just imposed new rules for pavements and park connectors to keep everyone safe.
"What can we do if there are people who ride anywhere they like? Do you think such people will bother about rules?"
Koh Joo was referring to new enforcement measures and penalties regarding the proper use of pedestrian-only and cycling paths that kicked in on July 1.
First-time offenders convicted of riding on a pedestrian-only path can be fined up to $2,000 or jailed for up to three months, or both.
