The number of bicycle abuse cases have been on the rise since bike-sharing initiatives were introduced in Singapore.
Stomper Erica came across a student abusing an ofo bike near a block of flats in Bishan yesterday (July 25), between 4pm to 5pm.
When she got home, her son showed her a video of the same student which had been posted on Instagram.
Erica forwarded the video to Stomp.
In the video, a group of boys, some of whom were in uniforms, were at a basketball court.
A bespectacled boy then moved the ofo bicycle near a grass patch, and declared, ‘now you break the ofo bike’, before pushing the bike without getting on.
The riderless bicycle moved a short distance before collapsing on the ground.
Throughout the video, the words, ‘breaking OFOFO’ were displayed.
Said Erica:
“It’s very sad to see students abusing these ofo bikes.
“What’s worse, they recorded a video and posted it on Instagram, thinking that it is cool to do so!”
