Despite a series of recent enforcement actions against errant teenage cyclists<\/a> and sustained clampdown on illegal and modified active mobility devices<\/a>, it seems some teenagers are not getting the message.<\/p>\n 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 \u2014 in the Central Business District.\u00a0<\/p>\n AsiaOne understands that the incident took place on Nov 6.<\/p>\n They are later seen riding along Shenton Way and Keppel Road, taking up almost all lanes.<\/p>\n In parts of the video, heavily modified e-bicycles can be seen, while some bicycles do not appear to have brakes.<\/p>\n 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n It is unclear if members of the public or other road users had called for police assistance.\u00a0<\/p>\n Most social media users called out the teenagers’ behaviour, saying it posed a risk to themselves and other road users.<\/p>\n Several of those who left comments across the two reposts also tagged the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Singapore Police Force.\u00a0<\/p>\n Amid the strong reactions against such errant behaviour, some users pointed out that young people should be allowed to come out and have fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, they too disagreed with the behaviour, particularly their actions of evading the authorities and showing it off on social media.<\/p>\n Jordyn Kong wrote: “It’s okay if you want use the road but at least ensure that your device is fitted with all safety functions such as front and rear lights.”<\/p>\n He added that they should also have worn helmets and knee guards to lower the risk of serious injuries in the event of accident.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"Screengrab](\"https:\/\/media.asiaone.com\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/Teen%20cyclists%20CBD%20-%20modified%20ebikes%20and%20fixies.png\")
