Cyclists in Singapore are overcoming some bad rep as a result of some high-profile incidents (here and here).

Video of cyclist getting comeuppance

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the Facebook group SG Road Vigilante - SGRV, showing a cyclist in an accident with a traffic cone.

The video was also captioned:

"mar2019 

poor cyclist, evil cone.

get well soon."

What happened in the video

In the video, a group of cyclists can be seen riding along a road at night, cycling alongside a lane blocked by traffic cones.

One cyclist from the group then speeds up and comes extremely close to the line of cones.

The cyclist then knocks over a traffic cone as he veers into the lane that has been blocked out.

Despite knocking into the cone, the cyclist continues riding in the blocked-off lane and crashing into an object or person near a group of workers. 

One of the workers is seen backing away quickly from the accident.
