What a cyclist should never to do in Singapore

I don't condone this person's actions because I am not sure what really happened. But seriously, the road isn't just for cars, and neither it is just for bikes. In order for the population to accept cyclists on the road or pavements, we should observe good cycling etiquette in Singapore, or anywhere else in the world.

This person stopped a car after the driver "supposedly" honked to warn him of his presence. The passenger is also a biker. This cyclist held them up and even hit the car after they decided to avoid confrontation and moved the car off. More details here. Seriously, this isn't Holland or Portland...don't expect everyone to give way or wave Hi to you as you cycle by. The pent up frustrations in the densely built-up Singapore from transportation woes as well as overcrowding due to an increase of over 2 million people since 1990s isn't helping.

Anyway a cyclist should never attempt to do things which could get you on social/state media. We have Facebook, Stomp and the various forums in Singapore. Our HardwareZone team of CSIers have been known to bring down many of such media attention "celebrities". They can find out your name, where you work, live etc in matter of days!
