Riding bikes can be easy and fun; however, it can be fatal as many people are not aware of the safety precautions.
According to the police, three cyclists died and 289 were injured in accidents in the first three months of this year.
Steve Coward, a certified biking instructor, says cyclists should take responsibility for their own safety, as accidents can happen to anyone.
It is important to do a basic bike check before you go out for a ride.
Mr Coward suggests an 'M' check - draw a giant imaginary letter 'M' in the air, which is roughly the shape of what parts need to be checked. These include the wheels, tyres, brakes, chain and saddle.
Few people wear protective clothing on biking trails. 'I used to wear my helmet when I rode to school every day in Canada. But I find that no one wears one in Hong Kong. I feel stupid wearing it here,' says Calvin Lam Ka-fai, a 13-year-old boy who is in Hong Kong for his summer vacation.
Mr Coward warns that at some stage, probably when you least expect it, you may fall off your bike.
