Last year, more than 1,500 summonses were issued by the police to cyclists for violating traffic rules. Of these, about 700 were for illegal riding along the footways of roads - a six-fold increase from 115 in 2008. Cycling on the footways of roads is an offence, except in Tampines town. First-time offenders may be fined up to $1,000 or jailed up to three months. -- ST PHOTOS: KEVIN LIM
