OCBC Cycle unveils corporate race category

Singapore

IT happened right before this journalist's very eyes from 15 metres away at Farrer Park. That was back in 1973, only days before Singapore's first hosting of the South-east Asia Peninsular Games.

On the cinder track, a peloton of cyclists, including ace rider Roland Lim, crashed into one another while manoeuvring a tight corner. The sextet were lucky to escape with cuts and abrasions with a pair suffering joint injuries. Subsequently, there were calls, citing safety, for building a velodrome.
