Stomper: 'As I felt I was in danger and this was turning unnecessarily violent, I cycled away to protect myself, but then he pursued me again and charged towards me aggressively.'
A cyclist alleged that a pedestrian chased him down and pushed him after he rang the bike bell to tell the pedestrian to give way on a footpath in Potong Pasir., who was the cyclist, said it happened on May 4 at 8.15pm and shared photos of the pedestrian.
"I cycled away from him, but then he ran towards me and pushed me from the back with excessive force. I almost lost my balance and fell off the bike. "This time I got off the bike and stood up to him. I explained to him that this bike is not allowed on the road and the pavement is a shared space. I rang the bell to tell him to give way. He had no legal right to push me violently. I almost lost control of my bike and got injured, but thanks to my decent build, I was able to control myself.
"I find this guy's behavior completely unacceptable. No one has the right to push someone like that, especially when they are in a vulnerable position, seated on a bicycle."Land Transport Authority"Singapore is promoting a greener form of transportation and young guys like me are contributing to the cause," said the Stomper.
