想去提议把绿线地铁线路下的空地改造为自行车道。目前东边巴耶利巴到景万岸段已经这么建设好了。但这段其实没有那么大用处，因为平行的道路两侧的人行道足够宽，而且在汽车道上骑也没什么问题。

　

迫切需要的是加冷到巴耶利巴这段。因为Sims Ave沿途没有真正意义上的人行道，基本上是商家门口的空地，很多都被商家占用来摆摊，或者摆放绿色塑料垃圾桶。基本没法骑车。而汽车道又经常有人停车，用来骑车也很不方便。我步行大致看过，地铁线下面现在都是草坪，没有什么改造难度。

　

如果这段能改造好，东部居民骑自行车到市区就很方便了，到加冷后可以沿着加冷河北边的自行车道一直到市中心。现在则只能先向南绕行到Dakota、Stadium，然后沿着加冷河南岸一直到滨海大坝，过了坝再往北到市区。

芽笼作为一个有鲜明特色、自成一体的独特地区，巴掌大的地方居然被分在四个不同的选区：惹兰勿刹集选区、马林百列集选区、麦波申单选区、蒙巴顿单选区。换句话说，芽笼是四个选区交界的“四不管”地带，比三不管还惨。

所以一方面芽笼地区的基础设施建设得不到重视，另一方面管理混乱，存在大量的在新加坡其他地方很少见到的乱停车和摊贩占道经营现象。

新加坡很多驾车人士想当然认为马路的路权属于汽车，这个其实是误解，正如在国内很多司机认为行人应该让路给右转汽车一样。很少有自行车骑士选择在马路上骑行，是出于安全考虑，但汽车司机如果对马路上的自行车存有敌意，那就只是一种自私和傲慢。官方很清楚地说明：自行车同样有使用马路的权力。里面还特别提到，即使自行车在马路上并排行驶，也是合法的。

“The road is meant for all motorised and non-motorised vehicles,” said transport consultant Gopinath Menon, noting that between the 1950s and 1970s, cyclists commonly used the roads in Singapore, co-existing with other vehicles.

“Over time, the number of cars on the roads increased. The public transport improved and hence the number of cyclists reduced,” said the former LTA planner.

“There is nothing to prevent cyclists from using the roads, but many do not feel safe because motorists are no longer used to having bicycles co-sharing as they were in the past.”

While a common grouse among motorists is that cyclists have less of a right to the roads as they do not pay road tax, this is a misconception, said Singapore Road Safety Council chairman Bernard Tay.

Roads are built and maintained using public funds, he noted, meaning all taxpayers pay for roads - not just motorists.

Road tax in Singapore is an “ownership tax” on motor vehicles, as noted on the Transport Ministry’s website. This is based on the engine capacity of the car, which acts as a proxy for the value of the car, the ministry stated.

This is further borne out by a statement by LTA in 2013, which clarified that public roads are “built and maintained using public funds collected from general taxes, including those who do not use motorised vehicles”, and are meant for use by all road users, including cyclists and pedestrians.

“So everybody has the right to use the space, use the infrastructure,” said Mr Tay, who is also president of the Automobile Association of Singapore.
