Hi,
I support maximizing the park connector network (PCN) for purposeful commute, not just mainly for leisure. I believe there is already good potential for commute to and from work at the regional centres (like Tampines) with the completed PCN so far, but there are probably some obstacles...

What do you guys think would be needed to encourage people to ride to work using the PCN? Would appreciate very much your views.

I've noticed recently that pedestrians are more receptive to cyclists if the latter are going at low-speed on the park connectors (which is shared between cyclists and pedestrians).

Most cyclists on the Park Connectors are leisure cyclists and some are using the way to get home from the main roads/MRT etc.

I agree there needs to be a much better integrated design infrastructure for cyclists and there needs to be more acceptance and tolerance for cyclists on our roads. I see a few foldable bikes on the trains and pple seem accepting of this as they are towards wheelchairs and prams.

Yet on the roads is a different matter possibly because the coexistent level is not quite there. vehicles still honk at cyclists... impatiently.

Personally i would recommend trying as far as possible to use the PCN (park connectors) for safety reasons and where not possible riding on the roads. Besides making for a safer ride, it is more scenic and enjoyable - and no traffic lights! :)
