The Problem With Bicycles In Singapore
So as COVID-19 changed the world, it didn’t only change our daily routines such as the need to don our mask as we stepped out of our doors, it also changed most of our habits, at least in Singapore.
Many started working from home and many more avoid heading out. However uncertain the world is today, we all still crave for our favourite lunch and hope that it can be served just right at our comfort. But how do we do it now with the the ongoing pandemic ? Simple, Food delivery.
We use food delivery services such as UberEats and GrabFood. With a few clicks on our phone, our lunch or favourite snack will be served in no more than 30 minutes. As convenient as it sounds, this is due to the rise in people working as food delivery riders, fulfilling orders after orders.
With the trend of ordering food via these services, I also noticed the increasing numbers of riders and bikers on the streets. For instance, electronic scooter riders and bicycle riders. This may seem to be a good thing as it provides people with a job or even a convenient and flexible way to side hustle, at the same time providing a convenient service for most of us at home.
However, my hate for bicycle has been on the rise lately as bicycles on the streets started to boom, to a point when it’s time for me to say ‘I’ve had enough!’
