| Summary: | In this paper I will demonstrate civility and incivility through bicycle sharing in Singapore. I bring our attention to this relationship which is rarely addressed in studies of bicycle sharing. At a broader scope of things, this contributes to the discussion of sustainability of bicycle sharing in Singapore, by looking at ways in which civility and incivility is expressed and managed. A qualitative study was conducted alongside with photo elicitation to find out perceptions of civilized and uncivilized behaviours of bicycle sharing in Singapore. Findings showed that while the government shapes a large part of our civility, sentiments from my respondents further showed variability in perceptions of behaviours that are civil and uncivil. Civility as a concept is complex, and the responsibility of being civil lies with various stakeholders in public spaces.
