Enforcement data on dangerous riding by shared-bicycle users versus other cyclists, and mandatory in-app safety modules for first-time users

Written Reply to Parliamentary Question

Mr Alex Yeo asked the Minister for Transport

a.           whether enforcement data on dangerous riding distinguishes shared-bicycle users from other cyclists;

b.           if so, what is the number of dangerous riding cases for each category over the last three years; and

c.           whether the Ministry is considering any steps to raise awareness of safe riding by shared-bicycle users, such as making in-app safety modules mandatory before first use.

Reply by Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.           Enforcement data on reckless riding on public paths and roads does not distinguish between shared-bicycle users and other cyclists.

2.           Shared bicycle operators have introduced initiatives to promote safe riding practices, such as in-app safety modules and push notifications on safe riding.
