‘This is a scourge’: Video of nearly 50 teens riding bicycles, e-bikes through CBD draws backlash, Singapore News


Despite a series of recent enforcement actions against errant teenage cyclists and sustained clampdown on illegal and modified active mobility devices, it seems some teenagers are not getting the message.

A video originally posted by TikTok user leonbombiibii, which was later taken down after it was shared on Facebook pages Singapore Incidents and The SG Daily on Nov 8, shows a group of nearly 50 riders spread across at least four of the six-lane Raffles Quay — in the Central Business District. 

AsiaOne understands that the incident took place on Nov 6.

They are later seen riding along Shenton Way and Keppel Road, taking up almost all lanes.

In parts of the video, heavily modified e-bicycles can be seen, while some bicycles do not appear to have brakes.

In parts of the video, police sirens can be seen and in one cut, an officer is seen approaching the group before the video cuts off to the next scene. 

It is unclear if members of the public or other road users had called for police assistance.
