Togoparts.com is embarking on a campaign to create a greater awareness amongst the cycling community and drivers in Singapore of the need to be mindful of each other's presence on the roads.
If you speak to any cyclist in Singapore, most will agree that cycling on Singapore's roads is a very dangerous activity as the general feeling is that many drivers do not respect the cyclist's right to use the roads. While out cycling on Saturday morning, a bus came up very close to me though the right lane was not occupied and seemed to want to push me off the road. I am sure I am not the only cyclist to have had a bad experience with cycling on the local roads.
If you are a cyclist or a driver, please help to spread the word so maybe eventually, we can create a peaceful coexistence between cyclists and drivers.

This campaign is hot on the heels of a recent fatal accident involving a cycling enthusiast (known for his safety consciousness) and a drunk driver. The fact is many people still try to drive while intoxicated despite the campaigns to discourage such irresponsible behaviour. The accident that took the life of the cyclist was most unfortunate and could have happened to any pedestrian/motorist. More needs to be done to discourage drunk driving.
