SINGAPORE — The traffic police have not issued any summons to cyclists for flouting the rule on cycling group length since it took effect on Jan 1, 2022, the police said on Monday .
Cyclists on roads in Singapore have to keep to groups of no more than five bicycles in length. On single-lane roads and in bus lanes during operational hours, riders have to be in a single file.The issue came to the fore after an accident in April that left a cyclist in hospital with a minor brain bleed.
The injured cyclist's wife wrote on Facebook that a "peloton of crazy cyclists" caused the collision with her husband. She said they ignored the safety of others and rode off.The limit on cycling group length was introduced due to space constraints on Singapore’s roads, the Ministry of Transport said in October 2021.
The most common offence committed was riding a bicycle on a road without wearing a suitable helmet securely. It is followed by cyclists not riding in an orderly manner and without due regard for the safety of others.The police said they will continue working with the Land Transport Authority to educate cyclists on the rule about cycling group length.
“ will not hesitate to take firm action against egregious cyclists who endanger other road users by cycling dangerously on the roads,” a police spokesperson said. CNA
