Kranji, Neo Tiew, Lim Chu Kang Road\Old Lim Chu Kang
Road\Jalan Bahar ... the quietest, loneliest in
Singapore in the dark?

Not really lah, when there are packs of barking,
running dogs and people going into the cemeteries :-0

Anyway, as chegu Nur says, "be aware of the road
conditions wherever you go, and whatever time of day
you ride". A road that's clear one day may have hub
cap / branch / brick / slipper / <insert other things
I've seen by the roadside> the next day.

Hi everyone,

My advise to everybody is to please avoid riding
through Kranji, Neo Tiew, Lim Chu Kang Road\Old Lim
Chu Kang Road\Jalan Bahar at night or even in the
early hours of the morning (before sunrise).
I have never taken my bicycle through this route since
I started competitive cycling in 1994. I believe that
this stretch of road is the quietest, loneliest and
possibly darkest in Singapore before and after the sun
rises and sets.

For your information, there was a very serious
accident mid last year along Lim Chu Kang Road which
involved cyclists only. The crash was caused by a
stone (rock) which the leading cyclist did not see due
to the dimly lit lights along LCK, and the SPEED of
the ride, which did not give the riders who were
pacing him, enough time and space to brake. This
caused the domino effect., and brought down more than
3 cyclists. One lady cyclist suffered a head injury
and a broken collar bone.

I was informed that the invisible depression on the
road from LCK to Jalan Bahar recently caused a bicycle
accident at night. This cyclist did not see (expect)
the hole...I presume he crashed head first. This put
him in hospital.

It may be wise to be practical and sensible about your
choice of cycling route, especially if you really
REALLY must do that night ride.
Do however please be aware of the road conditions
wherever you go, and whatever time of day you ride.

POWER for the start
FORMATION so you remember to get into line
SETTLE so you get comfortable
CONTROL so you can relish every moment of the ride on
your bike o_o

Regards,
Noor

Thought you would like to know that this was posted on
ANZA'a site on 5-6-2007

Kranji riders beware after Lim Chu Kang as you
continue along Jalan Bahar.

There is a nasty depression in the road which you
can't see until you're
on top of it, so it's very difficult to call.

Has the potential to bring people down - effects the
left hand side of the
peleton.
