'Why are kids riding like this?' Teens seen riding bicycles across Somerset Road without helmets
Despite continued and routine enforcement actions taken by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Traffic Police (TP) against errant cyclists, a group of teens does not seem to have taken heed.A video posted by Facebook user Lik Wee shows a group of four teen cyclists riding across Somerset Road, next to Orchard Gateway, without helmets. "Why are kids riding like this?" the user asks in his video.The incident allegedly took place on Sunday (Sept 20) evening.There is a fifth cyclist seen in the video wearing a different coloured shirt, but it is unclear if he is part of the group, or merely passing by.Based on the video, they appear to be riding fixed-gear bicycles, commonly referred to as fixies. It is unclear if the bicycles had brakes.Fixed-gear bicycles without at least one functioning handbrake are not allowed on roads and footpaths.Another offence possibly committed by the group would be using a bicycle on a road during the night without displaying the required white light at the front and/or red light or red reflector at the rear.
