Cyclists
Cycling is a form of good exercise. However, one has to be careful about their own safety and other road users when cycling. Otherwise, you may spoil your fun.
The roads in Hong Kong are very busy. All road users have a right of way. In order to have an enjoyable and safe journey when travelling on the roads, both motorists and cyclists have to share a responsibility to understand each other’s needs and to respond positively.
In Hong Kong, rules which apply to vehicles are also applicable to cyclists. All cyclists must obey traffic signs, road markings and traffic regulations.
