Although there are notable distinctions between Singaporeans and Malaysians, they may share a similarity in this particular aspect which is the challenge they have faced from irresponsible users. Many young people nowadays lack a sense of civic responsibility for public property, which could lead to widespread vandalism such as damaging the rented bicycles. Some irresponsible users have also left their bicycles in dangerous spots that block the road and cause problems for others. As a result, oBike's Singapore has addressed the issue of vandalism by installing tracking chips on their bicycles. oBike has adopted various measures to encourage responsible bike riding, including the imposition of strict penalties.

Biking is made more convenient for people of all skill levels through bike share programs. While some people may be familiar with urban riding, others may be experiencing it for the first time. People who only have experience cycling on quiet residential streets or in parks may be unprepared for the challenges of urban cycling. These people endanger the lives of everyone else on the road. Also, tourists and people who aren't familiar with the plan of the city will have trouble getting around. Thus, even though bicycle-sharing programs are generally safe, accidents can happen despite their best safety precautions.

In general, if we own a bike in any city, it is important to also own a helmet. It is common knowledge among knowledgeable urban cyclists that wearing a helmet can potentially prevent serious injury or even save one's life, even in the event of a minor accident. Therefore, it is recommended that all cyclists wear one. As we can see, actual bicycle-sharing programs have reported that only about 20 percent of cyclists wear helmets when using shared bicycles. Failing to wear a helmet while riding in any city can be fatal, and it also places a significant responsibility on drivers in the event of an accident. Thus, this may also give negative impacts on the bike share program for other cyclists.

The bike areas are connected by highways, roads, walkways, and buildings that are not bike-friendly. Cyclists often face challenges in identifying the appropriate route they can ride on, as bikes occupy an awkward space between cars and pedestrians. The bicycle is still used as a form of transportation, but it is much slower than a motorized vehicle on a non-jammed day. For a smooth ride, a cyclist might have to move between two sides that might look at the cyclist and think, "Do you really belong here?"

In more bike-friendly countries, there are bike lanes that run between the pedestrian paths and the roads for motorized vehicles. Because of the extensive network of bike lanes, cycling has become a practical mode of transportation in cities like Melbourne and Amsterdam. However, in Malaysia, many roads and sidewalks would have to be completely redone to make space for bikes.

As we can see, people in our country are used to cycling even though the weather is always hot and humid.  Many tropical countries exhibit strong cycling that is unhindered by the weather. However, the current challenge is that Malaysians have become accustomed to the comfort of air-conditioned vehicles to escape the El Nino heatwave. Even motorcyclists may reconsider cycling in hot or rainy weather conditions.

To encourage people to use bikes more frequently is providing incentives such as discounts or rewards for regular users. One way to encourage greater usage is by offering incentives such as a free ride after a certain number of trips or discounts for regular users. Therefore, this will attract other new users to use bicycle-sharing.

3) Increased accessibility

Ensuring there are sufficient bike stations and bikes available in strategic areas all around the city. This will enable people to easily access the bikes whenever they require them. Expanding the bicycle sharing program to include more stations and bikes, as well as implementing innovations such as "pop-up" stations in high-traffic areas, could assist improve accessibility.

4) Partner with local business

Partnering with local businesses can be a great way to promote the use of bicycle-sharing programs. By sponsoring bike stations or offering discounts to employees who use the bikes, more people may be encouraged to take advantage of this eco-friendly transportation option. To enhance the visibility of the program and encourage usage, businesses could consider advertising on bikes.
