Cycling: Make bicycle paths out of bounds for people who are not running

During a recent morning ride on the Sengkang Park Connector Network, I came across numerous pedestrians – slow joggers, dog walkers, caregivers with prams and walkers with open umbrellas – who were using the cycling portion of the path, even when the pedestrian path was clear.

I was cycling at about 21kmh, well within the 25kmh speed limit. But I had to slow down drastically and swerve several times to avoid collisions.

Ringing my bell and calling out "excuse me" often did not work as the pedestrians were either wearing headphones or talking to their companions.
