Aiyo, you all steady anot? At 9AM on 3rd September 2025, some “Tour de France wannabes” decided to show off their cycling skills along Jalan Boon Lay towards Jurong Pier Road. Wah, this road is full of big trucks and heavy industry vehicles, not for showboating lah!
Motorists caught in the jam couldn’t help but shake their heads. “They just ride straight like nobody business, right during peak hour. Bird brain sia!” said one frustrated driver. Imagine lah, trucks everywhere, these cyclists pedal like nobody on the road — really asking for trouble.
Tour De France Wannabes
Jalan Boon Lay and Jurong Pier Road are industrial roads, mainly for lorries and commercial traffic. Experts say this kind of stunt is super dangerous. Cyclists should stick to dedicated bike paths or quiet roads, not risk life racing near big trucks during rush hour.
SPF and LTA have been reminding everyone: wear helmet, bright clothes, and don’t do your “adventure” in high-traffic areas. But looks like some people never learn. Netizens also lauded the need for stricter enforcement, maybe even put up “no cycling during peak hour” signs at risky spots.
This incident also sparked debate online — how some amateur cyclists overestimate their skills, end up endangering themselves and others. Moral of the story: if you want to feel like pro cyclist, go park connector lah, not Jalan Boon Lay. Peak hour road? Better think twice or risk becoming roadkill.
Stay safe, lah. Don’t play hero on roads meant for trucks.
Motorists and road users have voiced concerns over the need for stricter enforcement or awareness campaigns to prevent similar incidents in the future. Experts recommend that cyclists plan rides during off-peak hours and avoid heavily trafficked industrial areas, ensuring both their safety and that of other road users.
