Swerved through traffic, took hands off handlebars

He then proceeded to swerve through traffic without making any hand signals to indicate when he was changing lanes.

The cyclist, whose upper half of his body was revealed because his top appeared to be unbuttoned, also took his hands off of his bicycle's handlebars and rode with them in the air and by his side instead.

Cyclists should ride in "orderly manner"

"No bicycle, power-assisted bicycle, trishaw or tricycle shall be ridden or propelled otherwise than in an orderly manner and with due regard for the safety of others."

Cyclists are meant to ride their bicycles "as near as practicable to the far left edge of the road".

In addition, cyclists must indicate with their arms if they intend to stop, slow down, move to the left, or move to the right.

Their signals must be made with enough time to allow others on the road to react in time.

Cyclists who commit offences such as careless riding can face fines of S$75.

According to the Ministry of Transport's website, under the Road Traffic Act, the police will investigate if reckless cyclists endanger pedestrians or other road users, and physical injury is involved.
