bikes

i say this is a new sighting. many people are biking around to get to places. and more often than not, they the the chinese who are on those bikes. you know, chinese as in nationality= chinese, those kind.

so you will hear Rrrrrrr Rrrrrr from behind. this gets on my nerves. i dont think the sidewalks in singapore are made for humans and bikes. they are way too narrow. however, these bikers seem to think they have the way of right. of course everyone gives way to them for them to pass- they either have to move to the side, or stop just so these things can pass. many atimes, im so tempted to not do that but ive yet to make that irrational act.

maybe its just me who is being over-bearing right now so anything gets on my nerves. but maybe its this patriotic feeling brewing in me. i hate it that outsiders are transforming my country into something else. i have nv seen bikes ard, unless im in ecp. think of images of tiananmen- sights of millions of bikes. that s what i mean.

when i visited lily, i was actually biking around. however, there are markings on the sidewalks for bikes. and i remembered her saying that germans are very polite- they will give way to bikers. can i just say they have come a long way, and also, cos its rightfully so since part of the sidewalks are really designated for bikers. but not so (or not yet) for my country.
