A bicycle is a manually or pedal-operated vehicle consisting of two wheels attached to a frame, one positioned in front of the other. It can also be powered by pedaling or equipped with a motor. Recognized globally as an efficient tool for combatting pollution, authorities actively promote it as an environmentally friendly mode of transport. Moreover, the growing issue of traffic congestion worldwide has driven the rising popularity of cycling as a means to evade extensive traffic jams and efficiently reach destinations. Some of these accessories may not come with the original equipment and may need to be added later. Additionally, incorporating cycling into a healthy lifestyle can yield significant environmental benefits.
Singapore Bicycle Accessories Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Market expansion is driven by factors like the rise in health-consciousness and growing environmental awareness.
