While Big Brothers come and go, our problem remains the same.
Everyday, I take the risk of walking on narrow footpaths, not
knowing when I would be hit from behind by speeding cyclists. All cyclists
believe they have the right of way on footpaths as they keep ringing their
bells at pedestrians to give way to them. Even those wheelchair users and their
care-givers are not spared. When pedestrians are injured, the cyclist and the
state won’t pay. In most cases, the culprit would likely have sped off to evade
liabilities as they have no insurance cover such accidents.
I hope this new Big Brother can understand and feel the risks and pains of pedestrians and ban cyclists on all footpaths before more pedestrians get injured.
