What happen if the handbrake malfunctions at the instant of an accident? Still the biker at fault.
Later they may set standard only allow certain brake of bicycle brands or may need to go for annual "vicom" check.

You mean a handbrake that is working all along suddenly fail and cause an accident.

I think that can be explained to police when you are arrested. If police believe you should be okay.

Is that a stupid regulation that bicycles do not have hand brakes? Of course all bikes have handbrakes.

Huh?#!

I thought all bicycles sold in SG must have hand brakes since 10 years ago?

Even our MOH also sub- standard. Don't know what kind of surgical face masks are sold at those shops at central estates.

Since PG, bicycles must have hand brakes install. Bicycles with no hand brakes must not be allowed on the road or walkway to avoid accidents.

What happens if that the bike has handbrake, but the cyclist never use it at all. So okay or not?

Then explain to police if involved in accidents or received summon of complaint for speeding and near accidents.

Its not abt fine. Its abt life and death. It's abt safety for the cyclist and the public.  Cyclist tend to speed on the road and if bicycle do not have hand brake it will be impossible to avoid an accident if someone, animals or vehicle suddenly appear out of nowhere in front of your path or cyclist were not attentive while cycling. It is also dangerous when the cyclist is on a downhill road. It is imperative that bicycles must have hand brakes to avoid ugly accidents.
