“I feel it’s very dangerous and very inconvenient for other road users,” said Muhd.

“I even wound down my window and asked him to cycle on the pavement, but he ignored me.”

According to the Land Transport Authority (LTA), bicycles are allowed on roads but cyclists must comply with traffic rules.

Cyclists riding on roads are required to wear helmets and should keep to the left side of the lane.
