Is it quicker to ride the bicycle or take public transport to work? Watch this battle between a cyclist and a public transport commuter.

Talking Point, a show on Channel News Asia where people sit around the studio to talk about supposedly important stuff, produced a video pitting a cyclist against a public transport commuter to perhaps seed the idea in people's heads that there are more than one way to get around Singapore if you cannot afford a car.

The goal is to see who can get from Clementi to City Hall faster.

Result? Cyclist wins, but he had to risk his life cycling on the road and walking pavement, take a tumble at least once due to inclement weather and had to shower off in the office.

The public transport commuter arrived high and dry in leisurely fashion after taking the bus and train.

Watch the video for yourself.
