Although most cyclist are quite responsible, but I personally saw quite a few cyclist which think they own the pavement and give no consideration to other pavement user :sweat:

Man hit by teen cyclist, died
By Elena Chong
A COFFEESHOP assistant died about five hours after he was hit by a teenage cyclist at a carpark, a coroner's court heard.
State Coroner Victor Yeo recorded a verdict of misadventure on the death of Mr Tay Kia Sim, 52, on March 17.
The cyclist, then 14, was named a potential defendant at the inquiry into the death of Mr Tay.
The court heard that the Secondary 3 student was cycling fast along the road in the open space carpark of Block 96 Henderson Road on March 16 evening when Mr Tay emerged from the side footway into his path.
The boy, who is now 15, tried to brake but could not avoid hitting Mr Tay, who was thrown backwards and landed about 4m away. The cyclist also lost control of his bicycle and fell to the ground after the impact.
Mr Tay was taken to Singapore General Hospital where he died of head injuries at about 12.55am.
