A cyclist riding an Anywheel bicycle got distracted by his phone while riding along a road in Serangoon on 6 May.

Footage of the incident was captured by the car’s dashcam camera, and subsequently posted onto the SGRV Admin Facebook page where it has since gone viral, garnering more than 100,000 views and 500 reactions at the time of writing.

He appears to be distracted and preoccupied with his phone while riding.
