A video of a group of young cyclists, possibly numbering up to 50, at times spread across four lanes in the Central Business District<\/a> on a Friday night, has raised safety concerns among netizens.<\/p>\n A police patrol car<\/a> is also seen in the video, with a police officer appearing to approach the group.<\/p>\n The video, originally posted by TikTok user @leonbombiibii<\/a>, was shared on Facebook pages Singapore Incidents and The SG Daily on Nov 8, where it has so far garnered more than 61,000 views on the three channels combined.<\/p>\n Many netizens were worried about the cyclists\u2019 apparent disregard for safety<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBlue tent coming,\u201d said a Facebook user, alluding to the tents deployed during traffic fatalities. \u201cI see potential blue tent candidates,\u201d another commented.<\/p>\n \u201cSmile now, cry later,\u201d said yet another Facebook user.<\/p>\n Some blamed the cyclists\u2019 parents.<\/p>\n \u201cParents of involved kids please come and claim your kids \u2013 they are affecting motorists on the road,\u201d said one. \u201cTheir parents must be proud,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n Several netizens thought it was good to cycle but urged the cyclists to think of their own safety.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s good to go out have fun… Enjoy the outdoors… The kids these days have too much screen (time)… But then again, need to do outdoor activities with some sense of risk assessment,\u201d said a Facebook user.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is childhood life! But stay safe ya!\u201d another said.<\/p>\n Others urged the cyclists to observe the law.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is good to cycle but don\u2019t break the law,\u201d said one. Another said: \u201cWear a helmet and ride safe..most important.\u201d<\/p>\n Several Facebook users were a lot more critical of the boys.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is good that young lad is out having fun and not stuck on screen. But if they are out breaking all the rules and endanger themselves and everyone while causing trouble, evading authority to show their bravery and fun on social media\u2026\u201d said one.<\/p>\n \u201cI have seen this group of boys before. They block cars and even buses. No care of others. No safety. When I honked at them, they shouted vulgarities<\/a> at me,\u201d said a netizen whose claim isn\u2019t verified.<\/p>\n Yes another said: \u201cThese are the actual road pests, stop labelling delivery riders<\/a> who help with the nation\u2019s laziness.\u201d<\/p>\n However, there were those who were a lot more forgiving.<\/p>\n \u201cThis took place past midnight during weekend in the CBD. Why the whining?\u201d said one Facebook user.<\/p>\n \u201cAiya let them be lah,\u201d another said, adding that they were neither drunk nor on Kpods<\/a>.<\/p>\n And a few suggested alternative venues to pursue their pastime.<\/p>\n \u201cUse park connector la, can cycle round island, no traffic lights,\u201d said one.<\/p>\nNetizens question youths\u2019 behaviour<\/h2>\n
