A survey of 2700 secondary students by the Department of Physical Education at Hong kong Baptist University done earlier this year shows that 20% of them can’t ride a bicycle; half of the non-riders were from Hong Kong Island. The survey also found that half of surveyed high school students had been injured when riding bicycles, and there is a general lack of safety awareness.
A spokesman from HKBU Department of Physical Education said cycling should be part of the high school physical education curriculum. However, the small size of local secondary schools and the lack of urban cycle tracks lead to a high proportion of students not knowing how to ride a bicycle. He proposed an increase in cycling facilities, and enhanced bicycle safety education.
