On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about road safety, particularly for cyclists.

The police have said they'll be working with the Transport Department to make it mandatory for cyclists to wear a helmet, following a number of fatal accidents.

Speaking to reporters, the Police Commissioner, Raymond Siu, said that while the number of accidents involving bicycles had fallen by 7 percent in the first eight months of the year, compared with the same period in 2023, fatalities had doubled, from four to eight.

The latest such accident happened less than a month ago, when a 31-year-old mainland cycling vlogger died after falling off her bike and being hit by a tourist coach on Lantau Island.

At the same time, the government is drawing up plans to regulate electric motorised devices, or EMDs, such as electric scooters and motorised skateboards, to allow for their possible use on some cycle tracks.

After 9:45, we'll learn more about osteoporosis, with a study by the University of Hong Kong finding that nearly 30 percent of residents over 50 are at high risk of developing the condition.

Today on The Brew we'll kick off with a little chat about tourism. We seem to be hearing a lot these days about tourism figures being “down” around the world. So, what exactly are people doing with their time off?  Has the age of the big holiday passed? What actually are they doing instead? And, the obvious question... how much of this is the fault of Covid? Morris Miselowski joins us at his usual time to chat a little more. Join Jarrod Watt at 12:40 with all things Aussie and the usual brand-new brilliant Aussie tracks. Dr. Merrin Pearse will be with you at 1:25, live from Wellington Airport in New Zealand. Today he’ll be telling you how an airport really can be part of nature conservation.
