Mysterious Cyclist in KPE Tunnel Sparks Online Speculation
A recent video capturing an unidentified individual cycling through Singapore’s KPE tunnel has gone viral, sparking a wave of humorous and eerie reactions online. The unusual sight of a cyclist in such an unexpected location—particularly at night—led to a mix of jokes, ghost stories, and genuine concern among social media users.
“Is It Human?” – Online Reactions Range from Jokes to Chills
Many commenters questioned whether the cyclist was even human. One user joked, “Cannot imagine if the cyclist suddenly turns their head 360 degrees to look at you!” while another quipped, “No shadow… definitely supernatural.” Some referenced local urban legends, suggesting the figure might be a “pontianak” (a Southeast Asian ghost myth) or even a cross-dressing prankster.
Others took a more lighthearted approach, with remarks like:
- “Maybe they’re just following Google Maps too literally!”
- “After clubbing, no money for Grab, so cycling home!”
- “Cost of living so high, even ghosts need to save on transport!”
Safety Concerns Amid the Humor
While many responses were playful, some users raised valid concerns about the dangers of cycling in a tunnel. One commenter pointed out, “This is extremely unsafe—what if a driver doesn’t see them in time?” Another added, “Foreigners might not know the rules, but locals should know tunnels are off-limits for cyclists.”
A few even questioned whether traffic enforcement cameras had failed to detect the cyclist, with one user asking, “LTA, are your highway patrols sleeping?”
A Mix of Fear, Laughter, and Urban Legends
The discussion quickly evolved into a blend of ghost stories and real-world observations. Some users shared similar eerie encounters, while others insisted there must be a logical explanation—perhaps a lost tourist or someone unfamiliar with local laws.
One particularly creative comment read: “Modern ghosts don’t float anymore—they ride bicycles to save energy!”
Conclusion: A Viral Moment with Deeper Implications
While the video itself remains unexplained, the online reaction highlights how quickly such moments can capture public imagination. Whether the cyclist was a lost commuter, a prankster, or (as some jokingly claimed) a supernatural entity, the incident has become a talking point—blending humor, urban legends, and genuine road safety concerns.
