BEFORE we introduce bicycle rental kiosks, 'consider these proposals first', wrote Mr George Ee on Dec 11.
I support his proposals. Bicycles can pose a threat to pedestrians, especially children and the elderly. When cyclists are inconsiderate, they really are a nuisance.
I remember one incident vividly. My friend's mother was nearly hit by a cyclist while walking along a footpath. The cyclist appeared suddenly in front of her, and in trying to avoid the bicycle, she lost her balance and fell, hitting her head on the ground. The cyclist did not stop to help her.
She died in hospital two weeks later without regaining consciousness. The cyclist caused the accident, but the person was never caught because the bicycle did not have a licence plate.
I hope the authorities will make it compulsory for all cyclists to register their bicycles and have licence plates put on them. They have to be responsible for their actions when cycling.
Cyclists should push their bicycles across traffic-light junctions and give motorists time to stop before they cross the road. I once nearly hit a cyclist who shot across the junction. It was a frightening experience. Angie Chue (Ms)
