The Big Story Ep 82: Cyclists, motorists divided on review of road cycling rules

6:38 mins

Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.

A proposal to register bicycles and license cyclists to ride on the roads has garnered resistance from the cycling community, who said making bikes like cars would not help make roads safer.

But drivers are mostly supportive of some form of licensing for cyclists, saying it would make them more accountable and ensure that they have the required knowledge of riding in traffic. Journalist Toh Ting Wei shares more.
