the road there is simply too tempting to overtake, speed. the curves are great. the slow traffic there even forms a somewhat interesting obstacle course. i can't imagine what i'll do when i;m in there riding, although as much as i want to be law aiding, patience often lets one down..

Sorry to say that, is it because of this type of attitude that give Sentona Authority reasons/excuses of not allowing bikes into the island?

[dlew]

probably right.. and it think it is more a reason than an excuse..

as said, patience often lets me down.. bad attitude i know.. i constantly remind myself to change. (haa, its true).. but i cannot imagine staying behind the bus or traffic while the bike overheat. similiarly, i won't want to see the gateway bridge becomes a woodlands linkway too.. so i guess the authorities whipped me right..

[ghost04]

i parked outside the gateway wit the rest of the construction ppl bikes one.if they don allow us entry then give us a parking lot and offer free shuttle bus service into the island la 'For Motorcyclist Only'. this way better ma for wat pay money take shuttle bus when we got our own transportation but u don allow us in. 40km/hr so wat i seen cars beyond tat speed inside wat.

[ET]

the LRT to Sentosa is cuming...hohohoho!!!

i work there. the parking is for PSA season parking holders. even for ppl like me whu work in sentosa cannot buy season parking already, which cost twice den ur hdb one.

Maybe when the IR open in 2009, they might allow bikes to go in.

A definite no. A multi storey carpark outside the gateway is more or less feasible.

There will be two upcoming shopping areas to put down harbourfront soon.

The harbourfront mall is a new one, right?

[StingRhea]

got 2 more new ones.

 

Vivo CIty and another one.

Even the mapletree lots that they use to sell season parking coupons to sentosa workers, now they restrict to PSA workers only~ wtf..

[Dee-Jinxed]

i still dun think it is a good idea. so what if the cars go above the limit when most riders dun obey the speed limit too? if we do let riders in, it will be chaos... for the petition.

Aiyah der WTC area is very regularly patrolled by parking wardens. i also got kena b4 but bro really ah 100 - 150 bikes ???? hard 2 believe dat many willing to risk it.

Year end is coming..they need bigger bonus..that is why. :mad:

[ET]

one very gd reason why they dont allow bikes to enter is because of safety issues i believe....cause bikes always cut through traffic and they do not want a accident from the other side colliding each other.

[bensonloo]

let us keep the only last resort island of singpaore to the min polution by the traffic.

 

all of us can go there for some fresh air and close to the nature once in a while.

i am not against anyone here, so dun bomb me

 

i once thought of the sentosa plan myself. way before even i got my 2b. no when i think of it, the bends are similar to kent ridge.

 

even if they allow bikes, we will have to adhere to ridiculous speed limits like 20 to 40. cars may slow down at bends but bikes dont.

 

when u travel in the bus, u can see the bus rear covering the other lane at times. and we bikers always squeeze and overtake almost everytime.

 

sentosa is just 2 lanes everywhere.

 

what i find very irritating is to park around the interchange and take a bus all the way in. and we have to wait for the bus.

 

i really think it will be good if they make bike lots at the main entrance, that is after the causeway.

Not all riders ride that way. And what makes u think that bike don't slow down and will definitely squeeze and overtake almost everytime? Snake that is why the number of time u accident n crash is really amazing....

[moccajava]

nolah u guys cmon even cars only have so limited roads to drive to. its not so bad... the most u can go are to the beach carparks or to hotel. u cant drive to the attractions even so in a way sentosa allows cars to go in... but only to the carpark of beaches so that beach goers with handful of stuff can juz unload... makes sense dun it? and to go other other parts of the islands... sentosa still imposes on visitors to take the buses or monorails...

 

so while cars do spoil the tranquility or pollution or shyt... id really hate to hear bike exhaust sound in the island... deny all u want it is irritating. so sentosa gets my approval for their firm stance but could be lenient on us to park our bikes within their premises.

[Axxis]

What they need to do is allow bikes to enter the island and develop a special bike only parking area near the first internal bus stop. This way bikers can get into the island easily and then catch the internal busses to any of the beaches.

 

The current problem is that there isn't any acceptable parking solution for bikes outside the island except the illegal area near the construction site where all the workers bikes are currently parked.

 

If they allow bikes into the island without restriction then all the idiots will race/speed in there and it will soon become banned again.

*sigh*
