No bicycle lanes, but more space? Game on!

If you refer to my old post on "An Unofficial Bicycle lane", I talked about how great it was to cycle on the small buffer between the double yellow lines and the curb. I'm not alone!

These passionate people for the Lovecycling.net forums have began collecting data on Singapore roads, in a bid to make some additional space for us cyclist. For an example, there are 2 lanes in a one way road, right lane has 4m width, left lane 5m, but a car probably needs only 3m, so can the two lanes be reduced to 3.5 m and leave a 2m gap for cyclist?  And as the article says, it will benefit motorists and cyclists alike!

Cheers for such awareness, and hopefully when LTA is all done with the accidents and floods that have been happening we cyclists can be taken care of too. In the mean time, ride safe and Happy Lunar New year to all!
