West China Metropolis Daily (Reporter Yang Bo) Recently, some citizens suggested that Chengdu learn from Hangzhou and launch shared bicycles with child seats to facilitate citizens to take children out for green and low-carbon travel.
In response to this, the Chengdu Municipal Transportation Bureau replied on the online platform that according to Article 89 of the Road Traffic Safety Law and Article 15 (VI) of the Sichuan Non-Motor Vehicle Management Regulations, bicycles and electric bicycles are limited to carrying one minor under the age of 12, and minors aged 12 to 16 are not allowed to carry passengers on bicycles. In addition, the roads in the "5+2" area of ​​the main urban area are narrow, the traffic is dense, and the road conditions are complex and changeable, which makes it easy for bicycles to rub against bicycles or bicycles and electric vehicles. Most children riding parent-child shared bicycles are 2-9 years old. Once a traffic accident occurs, it will cause irreversible losses to the rider's family and easily cause negative social opinion. If parent-child shared bicycles are used unconventionally, such as over-age riding or carrying cargo, the center of gravity of the vehicle will be changed, the vehicle will be overweight, resulting in increased inertia, which is easy to cause traffic accidents. In summary, Chengdu does not encourage the introduction of parent-child shared bicycles.
