One Sunday afternoon along the east coast it ended in an accident, with the wife taken to the hospital with a bleeding head.
At around 5 PM on Sunday, Mr. Cyril Low and his wife, Ms. Juddy Huang, both 52, had just passed by the National Service Resort & Country Club and were heading back to a nearest store to Bedok Jetty to return your rented bikes. .
But suddenly, they saw a convoy of about five cyclists running towards them.
Low said the group was traveling so fast that the couple couldn’t react.
“The first rider stayed in his lane and sped past,” he said. “But the second guy crossed into the lane we were in and my wife, who was in front of me, screamed.”
The cyclist collided with Ms. Huang and she fell and hit her head on the pavement.
He kept moving, crashing directly into Mr. Low before finally coming to a stop.
“He hit me, but all I could do was yell for someone to call an ambulance when I saw my wife bleeding,” he said.
“Fortunately, some passersby came up to help, and one of them was a lifeguard who helped verify that she responded.”
The speed limit was 25 km / h, but Low claimed that the group of cyclists could have traveled at about 50 km / h or more.
Ms. Huang was consciously taken to Changi General Hospital and discharged the same night after receiving five stitches to her head.
A police spokesman said the case has been classified as a reckless act that caused injuries. A 27-year-old man is currently collaborating with the investigations.
Low said the man wanted to pay compensation.
“… but the main point is how we are going to prevent others from doing such irresponsible things in a park,” he said.
“There are a lot of children and the elderly there on the weekends, and this is not the way to ride.
“At that speed, they could kill someone and we shouldn’t let them endanger the lives of others.”
Under the Active Mobility Act, those who speed on public roads can be fined up to $ 2,000 or jailed for up to six months, or both. Repeat offenders can be fined up to $ 5,000 or jailed for up to one year, or both.
Those convicted of causing harm by reckless act can be fined up to $ 5,000 or imprisoned for up to a year, or both.
