2013年1月，英國倫敦市首設單車專員一職，目的是推廣單車出行，解決交通擠塞、空氣污染和市民缺乏運動的問題。
In January 2013 the post of Cycling Commissioner was created for the first time in the City of London the United Kingdom . The purpose was to promote travelling by bicycle to resolve the problems of traffic congestion air pollution and the lack of physical exercise of members of the public
許智峯議員提出的議案要求政府制訂單車友善政策，將單車定位為公共交通的一部分，原意是好的，但我們亦要實事求是，若要將單車作為涵蓋全港範圍的交通工具，我覺得條件並未成熟，所以持保留態度。
The motion proposed by Mr HUI Chi - fung requests the Government to formulate a bicycle - friendly policy and position bicycles as part of the public transport . It is well - intentioned but we have also got to be pragmatic . In my view the conditions are still not ripe for designating bicycles as a mode of transport covering the whole territory
首先，香港公共交通方便，以單車代步的效果會適得其反。
First of all the public transport in Hong Kong is convenient . The effect of commuting by bicycles will turn out to defeat our original purpose . The people of Hong Kong mainly rely on the highly efficient public transport system
香港市民主要依賴高效的公共交通系統，私家車所佔比例較其他地區為低，與歐洲、美國和內地城市不同，這些地方地大，道路寬闊，公共交通便捷程度受制於客觀環境，需要以私家車代步，推廣以單車代步有助減輕對私家車的依賴，效果會較為明顯；而香港地少人多，在發達地區中，其人均私家車擁有量是最低的。
The percentage taken up by private cars is lower than that in other regions unlike the European American and Mainland cities which are vast in area with spacious roads . As the degree of convenience of public transport is constrained by objective circumstances in those places the people there need to commute by private cars . The promotion of commuting by bicycles can help abate their reliance on private cars and the effects will be more obvious
如果以單車作為交通工具，對減輕私家車依賴的成效有限，更可能會鼓勵市民由使用公共交通工具轉為單車出行。
Its per capita car ownership is the lowest among developed regions . Using bicycles as a mode of transport will have limited effects on abating the reliance on private cars . It may even encourage members of the public to switch from using public transport to commuting by bicycles
根據政府統計，2015年公共交通服務的每天乘客量為1,260萬人次，試想想，如果有10%的人選擇踏單車出行，每天在主要交通道路上會有數以十萬計，甚至百萬計的單車行駛，對現時已經擠塞的道路交通肯定會雪上加霜。
According to the Governments statistics in 2015 the daily patronage of public transport service was 12.6 million passenger trips . Come to think about it . If 10 % of the people choose to commute by bicycles there will be hundreds of thousands or even millions of bicycles travelling on the major roads every day
其次，香港的道路複雜，單車行走有限制，若單車在主要道路上與其他交通工具一同行駛，為了保障行車安全和交通秩序，必須為單車預留專線。
It will certainly add to the burden on the existing heavy road traffic . Secondly given the complexity of the roads in Hong Kong travelling by bicycle is subject to restrictions . If bicycles travel on the major roads at the same time with other modes of transport it is necessary to set aside dedicated lanes for bicycles to ensure road safety and maintain the order of traffic
以目前在香港市中心的交通設施而言，具備條件的道路並不太多。
In light of the present transport facilities in the city centre in Hong Kong not too many roads can offer such conditions
此外，香港本身地形複雜，特別是港島，上落斜坡的斜度極大，有條件建立單車徑的只是海濱，以及九龍和新界人口分散的地區。
Moreover in view of the complicated topography in Hong Kong especially on Hong Kong Island with roads rising and falling in steep gradients only the harbourfront and areas in Kowloon and the New Territories where the people are sparsely populated can offer the conditions for building cycle tracks
第三，現時的法例與市民在安全使用單車方面的意識仍存在不少差距，如果貿然將單車定位為主要交通運輸工具，甚至將電動單車合法化，將會帶來不可預計的後遺症。
Thirdly there is still a substantial gap between the existing legislation and public awareness of safe use of bicycles . If we rashly position bicycles as a major mode of transport and even legalize pedelecs it will bring unforeseeable consequences
代理主席，雖然將單車作為主要公共交通工具不太合適，但我認為單車可以繼續定位為康樂消閒工具，以及推動綠色旅遊的重要元素，亦可以在部分有條件的地區作為市民的代步工具。
Deputy President although bicycles are not quite suitable for use as a major mode of public transport I consider that bicycles can continue to be positioned as a tool for recreational and leisure purposes and an important element in promoting green tourism . They can also serve as a mode of transport in some areas offering the conditions . In recent years the Government has reserved a lot of land for constructing cycle tracks in conducting planning on the new development areas
近年，政府在規劃新發展區時亦預留了不少土地興建單車徑，包括貫穿新界東西、全長82公里的超級單車徑，而在東涌擴建的新市鎮，以及啟德發展區、西九文化區、洪水橋、元朗南等不同區域的新區，亦加設了單車徑，這些做法將有利於把單車徑串連成為有規模的單車徑網絡。
They include a super cycle track which is 82 km long joining up New Territories East and New Territories West . Additional cycle tracks have also been provided in the new town expanded in Tung Chung as well as the new areas in different regions such as the Kai Tak Development Area West Kowloon Cultural District Hung Shui Kiu and Yuen Long South . These practices are conducive to linking up the cycle tracks to form a large - scale cycle track network
至於港島區，地小路窄，在傳統道路興建單車徑，幾乎是沒有可能的，只能在海濱進行更新工程時，一併興建單車徑。
As regards Hong Kong Island the area is small and the roads are narrow . It is almost impossible to construct cycle tracks on the conventional roads . Cycle tracks can only be constructed concurrently when renovation works are carried out at the harbourfront
目前，港島大部分海濱規劃為市民的公共休憩空間，地勢平坦，單車徑所佔的位置 有限，只要政府有決心，設法將海濱各路段串連起來，成為環島單車徑，我相信一定會受市民和遊客歡迎。
At present a large part of the harbourfront on Hong Kong Island is zoned as public open space . The land is even and the space occupied by cycle tracks is limited . I believe that so long as the Government tries with determination to link up various sections of the harbourfront to form a cycle track round the Island it will definitely be welcomed by members of the public and tourists
代理主席，最近全球流行共享單車，香港的沙田區亦率先引進了這套GPS全球定位系統，用戶可以使用手機App查找附近的單車，掃描QR code打開單車的智能鎖，使用後可以把單車停泊在不影響交通的地方。
Deputy President bicycle - sharing has recently become popular around the world . The Sha Tin District in Hong Kong has taken the lead in introducing this GPS . Users can use a mobile App to search for the bicycles nearby scan the QR code to open the smart lock of the bicycles and park the bicycles at places not affecting traffic after use
這種系統的好處是方便使用者，並可通過定位系統了解用戶的使用習慣，根據需求隨時調配車輛，避免因為失誤造成資源錯配。
The merit of this system is that it is convenient to users . It can also learn about the users habit of using the service through the positioning system and deploy the bikes in light of the demand at any time thus avoiding mismatch of resources caused by blunders
香港居住空間狹小，不方便在家中存放單車，而共享單車可隨時取用，方便省時，將會是未來的趨勢。
Given the small and narrow living space in Hong Kong it is not convenient to keep bicycles at home . Available at any time shared bicycles are convenient and save time . They will be the future trend
因此，政府在進行規劃時，應該在有條件的單車徑預留泊位，為共享單車創造條件，方便市民和遊客，加強單車遊覽在旅遊中的角色，這樣將可以為我們的旅遊業增加具吸引力的新元素。
Hence in conducting planning the Government should reserve parking spaces on suitable cycle tracks to create favourable conditions for bicycle - sharing offer convenience to members of the public and tourists and enhance the role of bicycle tours in tourism . This can add an attractive new element to our tourist industry
最重要的一點是，尖沙咀至中環的航線是全港唯一一條不准攜帶單車登船的航線，即使把單車摺起來或拆除車輪也不可以。
The most crucial point is that the ferry service connecting Tsim Sha Tsui and Central is the only ferry route prohibiting the carriage of bicycles even bicycles folded or with wheels removed are prohibited
要利便市民踏單車，本港必須建立一個"人車共融"的環境，其中一個環節就是公共交通與單車之間的協作。
To make cycling convenient for the public we must create an inclusive environment for road users and bicycles and one of the keys is to rationalize the synergy between public transport and bicycles
如果政府依然把單車視作休閒工具，而不是市民的一種交通方式，實在難以令各部門及公共交通營運者在乘坐交通工具上配合單車使用者。
If the Government insists on positioning bicycles as a recreational tool but not a mode of public transport government departments and public transport operators can hardly be prompted to provide matching measures for cyclists in the use of public transport
近期，我們正與地區的朋友和相關部門交流，研究如何擴展起動九龍東及啟德發展區的單車徑網絡。
Recently we have had discussions with people in the districts and the departments concerned to examine the expansion of the cycle track network in Energising Kowloon East and Kai Tak Development
發展局曾提出建議，設立一條單車徑，貫通茶果嶺、觀塘海濱及啟德體育園區，直往土瓜灣。
The Development Bureau proposed building a cycle track connecting Cha Kwo Ling Kwun Tong Promenade Kai Tak Sports Park and To Kwa Wan
第一，是警方；第二，是運輸署；第三，當然是康文署。
First it is the Police . Second it is the Transport Department TD . Third it is obviously LCSD
我理解他們的角度，他們通常關注管理上的問題，即如何管理及確保單車使用者以外的其他使用者的安全。
We appreciate their concerns . They are usually concerned about management issues say how to manage and ensure the safety of users other than cyclists
其實，我是在某次會議上才從運輸署和警方得知，違規踏單車是要從駕 駛執照扣分的，一如駕車衝紅燈般，扣滿一定分數後，就要修讀一個駕駛改善課程以補回分數。
In fact I learnt from TD and the Police at a meeting that if a cyclist violated traffic laws it would attract demerit points in his driving licence as in the case of a driver having driven past a red light and once a certain number of demerit points were incurred the cyclist had to attend a driving improvement course to gain back the points
這些問題應如何處理，我相信只有各部門互相衷誠合作，才可令"人車共融"成為一項可以落實的政策而不只是一個概念。
How should these issues be handled? . I believe the inclusion road users and bicycles can be implemented as a policy instead of just a concept only if departments concerned can work together sincerely
如果這些問題無法解決，我相信發展局"東九單車徑"的計劃很有可能會胎死腹中。
If these issues cannot be solved I think the Kowloon East cycle track plan of the Development Bureau may have to be abandoned
一如2014年的審計報告指出，一段45公里長的單車徑，便有105個下車處。
According to the Report of the Director of Audit published in 2014 along a cycle track of 45 km in length there were 105 points requiring cyclists to dismount
代理主席，政府現正就啟德發展區擴展單車徑網絡進行一項可行性研究，我們聽到的消息是今年年中將會完成。
Deputy President the Government is now conducting a feasibility study on expanding the cycle track network in the Kai Tai Development Area and we have heard that it would be completed in the middle of this year
我們期望研究結果會提出一些具體方案，尤其是如何與其他部門合作，例如我剛才提到的警方、運輸署及康文署。
We hope that the study will come up with some concrete proposals particularly on the cooperation with other departments like the Police TD and LCSD as I mentioned earlier
在這方面，我相信需要在局方的層次跟進，跨局互相協調，積極處理。
In this connection I think it is necessary to be followed up by the Bureau involving inter - bureau coordination and proactive follow - up actions
我亦希望政府正視立法會跨黨派議員的建議，跟進我和其他同事提出的意見，推行真正單車友善的政策，進一步鼓勵市民在市區及郊區以單車代步。
I also hope that the Government will address squarely the proposals put forth by Members from the various political parties and groupings in the Legislative Council and follow up the opinions expressed by other Honourable colleagues and me so as to implement a truly bicycle - friendly policy to further encourage the public to commute by bicycles in both the urban and rural areas
但是，數年之後，新加坡的網民說幫不到他們，無法提高生育率。
However after the scheme has been implemented for a few years netizens of Singapore say that the scheme is not helpful and it fails to increase the fertility rate
所以，為了鼓勵不要說照顧他們置業、危疾的需要即使鼓勵結婚，也沒有用。
Hence the fund is useless in encouraging them to get married not to mention home acquisition or meeting the needs arising from critical diseases
相反，蔣議員說設立一個基金，由金管局管理，不知道金管局要增加多少人手，又可否保證有3% return？
On the contrary regarding Dr CHIANGs proposal for the setting up of a fund to be managed by HKMA I wonder how much manpower HKMA has to increase and whether the return rate can be guaranteed at 3 %
我們都知道，金管局今年第一季的回報率提高了，但過往也虧蝕過，曾有數季的回報率相當低。
We all know that the return rate of HKMA for the first quarter of this year has risen yet it has incurred losses in the past and the return rate of several quarters in the past has been rather low
政府告訴我們，過往金管局可以保證六點幾個百分點的回報率，現時已下跌至3%。
The Government told us that HKMA could guarantee a return rate of six - odd percentage points and it has dropped to 3 % now
最近甚至有一位退休"財金高人"任志剛先生表示，下一波的金融海嘯可能更厲害。
Recently a retired financial - meister Joseph YAM said that the next round of financial tsunami would be fiercer
各位也知道，2008年的金融海嘯後，有很多儲蓄戶口和基金都蕩然無存，風險太大了。
Members know that after the financial tsunami in 2008 many saving accounts and funds were left with nothing due to the high risks involved
至於強制性公積金，很多人都擔心其管理費高，而且回報率低，所以我不贊成成立另一個基金。
Given that the Mandatory Provident Fund schemes have aroused many worries about their high management fees and low return rates I do not support setting up another fund
但是，我同意應該照顧兒童將來的需要。
However I agree that we should look after the future needs of children
我留意到，有其他議員在修正案指出，香港簽署了聯合國《兒童權利公約》。
I notice that a Member has pointed out in his amendment that Hong Kong has signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child
我因最近參選，與不同界別的人接觸多了，才知道原來根據聯合國《兒童權利公約》的定義，兒童是指0至18歲，我以為是0至8歲。
Since I have stood for an election recently I have had more contact with members in various sectors . I then learnt that according to the definition of the Convention on the Rights of the Child children refer to persons aged between zero and 18 . I thought it was children between zero and eight years of age before that
幼兒託管的服務不足，幼兒工作者的薪金亦過低。
They pointed out that child care services were insufficient and the salaries for child care workers were too low
我們的兒童需要多些照顧。
Our children need more care
所以，我只支持及早成立一個兒童事務委員會，讓政府可以邀請各行各業的專家來立法會，無論是醫生、護士或社工，研究如何增撥資源，解決各類兒童問題。
Hence I will only support the early establishment of a children commission so that the Government may invite experts from various sectors be they doctors nurses or social workers to come to the Legislative Council to examine ways for securing additional resources to address all kinds of problems concerning children
其實，香港也有類似為兒童儲蓄的經驗。
In fact Hong Kong also has arrangements similar to these children saving plans
由2008年起，政府推出了兒童發展基金，是一個由政府、家庭、社區和商界共同協作的計劃。
In 2008 the Government introduced the Child Development Fund CDF which is a plan featuring consolidated effort from the Government family community and the business sector
除了一同儲蓄外，這位友師還會與小朋友一起渡過3年，伴隨小朋友成長，一起商討如何好好運用基金儲蓄的金錢。
Apart from making target savings the mentor will also spend three years to accompany the child in his or her development and discuss with the child the way to spend the savings he or she has made
這個計劃已屆第六輪，幫助了不少小朋友。
This programme which is now in the sixth round has helped a lot of children
今次議案提出的"嬰兒基金"，與這個兒童發展基金有共通之處，便是由多方共同供款，包括家庭及第三方的共同供款，這一點與兒童發展基金相同。
The baby fund proposed under the present motion is similar to CDF in the sense that it relies on joint contribution from various parties including families and third parties . In this aspect the baby fund and CDF are the same
不過，就"嬰兒基金"的儲蓄，我也希望政府參與，尤其是扶助基層家庭的兒童成長，幫助他們擺脫跨代貧窮。
Yet regarding the savings under the baby fund I hope the Government will also make contribution particularly in supporting the development of children in grass - roots families and helping them to break away from cross - generational poverty . According to the recent announcement of the Government the latest Gini Coefficient is 0.539 the most serious since the reunification which is also a record high in 45 years
政府剛公布了最新的堅尼系數，是0.539，是回歸以來最嚴重，亦是45年來的新高，反映香港貧富懸殊的問題十分嚴重，情況比很多非洲國家還要差，如果沒有政府那些補助計劃，我相信香港早已出現很大問題。
This reflects that the problem of disparity between the rich and the poor is very serious in Hong Kong . Our situation is worse than some African countries . Had the Government not provided the various subsidy schemes I thought Hong Kong would have run into great troubles
一個貧困家庭的兒童的機遇，與中產或富裕家庭的兒童相差甚遠，由學習、上課，以至是進修、交流等所有活動，他們也會因資源問題而受到限制，影響他們擴闊視野，以至是在社會向上流動的機會。
For children growing up in a poor family their opportunities are far more limited than children in middle - class or rich families . They are restricted by their limited resources in their academic studies as well as their participation in study - related activities and exchange programmes which in turn prevent them from expanding their horizons and affect their chances of moving up the social ladder
因此，政府參與這個"嬰兒基金"的供款是十分重要的，尤其可讓貧窮的小朋友有一個更公平的起步點。
Hence the contribution of the Government to the baby fund is very important for it will place children in poverty at a fairer starting point
至於"嬰兒基金"的用途，我的修正案強調，應按照兒童的意願，用在其自身的成長或發展，包括成長規劃、進修或培養興趣等。
As for the usage of the baby fund I emphasize in my amendment that the fund should be used according to the childrens wish for their personal growth and development including growth planning further studies and cultivation of hobbies
至於可否用於置業，我並不會反對，但我不鼓勵青年人以置業作為人生目標。
As for using the fund for home purchase I do not oppose it yet I do not encourage young people to make home ownership the purpose of their life
又或他真的喜歡寫作，他便可用這筆錢來發表自己的書籍。
If a young man really loves writing he may use the sum to publish his own books
舉例來說，社區育嬰或幼兒照顧的名額非常少，輪候時間十分長，而社區託兒服務一直也發展不理想，其中一個原因是投放資源不足。
For instance places for community baby or child care services are extremely limited and the waiting time is very long . As for community child care services the development has all along been undesirable and one of the reasons is shortage of resources
如果社會層面的"嬰兒基金"可以專款專用，為香港的基層家庭創建完善託管的社會環境，將更有利釋放婦女勞動力，讓她們可以外出工作賺錢，增加家庭收入。
If the money under the social level of the baby fund can be used for designated purposes to create a holistic community child care environment for grass - roots families it will be conducive to freeing women to join the labour force so that they can go out to work and increase the income of their families
我們認為"嬰兒基金"值得推行，正如先前提到，英、美等國家也設有類似的兒童儲蓄計劃，讓家長為子女升學和實踐夢想及早未雨綢繆，這是一件好事。
We think it is worthy to introduce the baby fund . As I mentioned earlier other countries like the United Kingdom and the United States have implemented similar children savings plans to encourage parents to plan ahead for their children in further studies and the pursuit of dreams which is most desirable
主席，今天的議案促請政府將單車定為交通運輸工具，並制訂相關的政策配合。
President the motion today seeks to urge the Government to designate bicycles as a mode of transport and formulate related complementary policies
今時今日，在世界很多大城市，例如北京和台灣，均着力推廣以單車代替私家車和公共交通工具，以及作接駁用途，這已經成為新趨勢。
Nowadays it is already a new trend for many major cities in the world such as Beijing and Taiwan to make great efforts in promoting the replacement of private vehicles and other public modes of transport with bicycles as a means of connection transport
推動市民以單車代步，不但環保，亦可減少碳排放，改善空氣質素，又可以減少私家車的流量，疏導交通，可以說是非常值得推廣。
To encourage the public to commute by bicycles is not only environmentally - friendly but it can also reduce carbon emissions improve air quality while reducing the flow of private vehicles to ease traffic congestion . It can be said that this idea is very worthwhile to promote
原議案及數項修正案從不同的角度，提供制訂單車友善政策，將單車定為交通運輸工具的意見。
The original motion and the several amendments seek to express views from different angles on formulating a bicycle - friendly policy and designating bicycles as a mode of transport
這些建議如能一一落實，固然非常理想，問題是香港是否具備推動以單車為交通運輸工具的客觀條件呢？
These proposals if implemented are certainly most ideal . The question is Does Hong Kong have the objective conditions to promote designating bicycles as a mode of transport?
在思考這個問題時，首先要了解落實政策的客觀限制，看看這些問題可以如何一一解決。
In considering this question we should understand the objective restraints of implementing this policy before examining how the problems can be resolved
首先，香港地少人多，道路非常狹窄，如要另闢單車專用的線道，便要縮窄原有的行車道或行人路，似乎並不可行。
Firstly Hong Kong is small but densely populated with very narrow streets . If bicycles only lanes were to be provided the existing carriageways and pavements would have to be narrowed which appears to be infeasible
如果讓單車和普通車輛共用一條行車線，意味着普通車輛的車速可能要降低，並實施限 速的措施，否則便會險象環生。
If ordinary vehicles and bicycles are allowed to share a traffic lane it means that ordinary vehicles will have to slow down and speed limit measures will have to be implemented as well or else dangerous situations will arise
如果寄望原有的道路可以騰出空間來擴闊路面，亦顯得不切實際。
It is also unrealistic to expect the existing roads to make way for road - widening
其次是單車停泊的問題。現時全香港共有約57,700個公眾單車泊位，但主要集中在新界區，而港島區和九龍區合共只有不足400個，其中南區、灣仔及葵青區只有少於20個泊車位，觀塘及黃大仙區更是一個泊車位也沒有，情況極不理想。
Secondly insofar as the bicycle parking problem is concerned there are approximately 57 700 public bicycle parking spaces in Hong Kong but they are mainly concentrated in the New Territories with less than 400 parking spaces situated on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon . Moreover less than 20 of these parking spaces are situated in the Southern Wan Chai and Kwai Tsing Districts and none in the Kwun Tong and Wong Tai Sin Districts
如果要將單車定位為交通運輸工具，其中一種必需的配套，便是大大增加單車泊位，以應付需求，特別是在港島區和九龍區。
The situation is most unsatisfactory . If bicycles are to be designated as a mode of transport the number of bicycle parking spaces must be increased significantly to cope with the needs especially on Hong Kong Island and in Kowloon
不過，同樣由於土地有限，供應緊張的問題，現時市區連私家車的泊車位也不足，我們是否能夠令部分市民放棄他們的出行習慣，放棄使用私家車，騰出空間讓單車停泊呢？
Nevertheless owing to limited land supply there are inadequate parking spaces including those for private vehicles in the urban areas . Can we make some members of the public quit their habit of commuting by car and make way for bicycle parking instead? . This problem cannot be resolved easily
這是不容易解決的，否則便要找到大面積的閒置地方，或在窄小的街道上增加單車泊位，談何容易？
It is not at all easy to identify a large vacant land lot or provide additional bicycle parking spaces on narrow streets is it?
第三，原議案和修正案提到完善市區的單車網絡。
Thirdly both the original motion and the amendments mention enhancing the urban cycle networks
事實上，政府在2004年完成騎單車研究的最終報告，分析本地單車徑網絡發展及外地政策例子後，已經明言由於安全條件和基礎不完善，故沒有計劃在市區設置單車優先的道路。
In fact after completing the final report on cycling study and analysing the development of local cycle track networks the Government has made it clear that due to the safety conditions and unsatisfactory foundation it does not have plans to designate priority lanes for bicycles in the urban areas
今年年初，政府當局在回答立法會的質詢時，亦再次重申這種說法，表明不鼓勵市民在市區以單車作為交通工具，並表示政府的政策是在新市鎮及新發展區，例如啟德發展區，促進單車作短途的代步工具。
In reply to a question raised in the Legislative Council early this year the Administration reiterated that members of the public were discouraged to regard bicycles as a mode of transport in the urban areas and indicated that the Governments policy was to promote the use of bicycles as a mode for short - distance commute in the Kai Tak Development Area for instance
至於市區，則只會考慮在海濱、中環、灣仔北及北角海濱設立單車徑的可行性。
As for the urban areas consideration will only be given to the feasibility of designating cycle tracks at the waterfront promenade and in Central Wan Chai North and North Point Harbourfront Area
主席，事實上，在現時的市區規劃下，發展單車網絡非常困難，即使有重建項目，但以市區重建局過去的重建項目來說，有關項目成本高，收益少，大型的計劃亦不多，依靠市區重建來預留興建單車網絡及有關配套的空間，可能性亦不高。
In fact President under the current urban planning it is extremely difficult to develop cycle track networks . Judging from the redevelopment projects undertaken by the Urban Renewal Authority in the past even if redevelopment projects are carried out high costs will be incurred with little profits made . Moreover not many large - scale programmes will be carried out
主席，我提出上述的憂慮並不是想"潑冷水"，而是想從實際的角度考量，先易後難，按部就班，先局部改善現有單車網絡，再研究如何可以在市區推展，例如政府多年前提出興建貫通荃灣、屯門、上水、大圍和西貢的超級單車徑，至今只完成部分路段的接駁工程。
President I have no intention to throw a cold blanket in raising the aforesaid concerns . I only wish to make consideration from a practical angle resolve the simple issues before the difficult ones and adopt a progressive approach by partially improving existing cycling networks before studying ways to take forward the urban networks . For instance insofar as the super cycle tracks proposed by the Government years ago to link up Tsuen Wan Tuen Mun Sheung Shui Tai Wai and Sai Kung are concerned only some sections have their connecting works completed
至於荃灣至屯門主幹線及南生圍、西貢、龍鼓灘及太和段等4條分支路段，仍然在檢討設計的階段。
The designs of the Tsuen Wan to Tuen Mun backbone section and the four branching off sections namely the Nam Sang Wai Sai Kung Lung Kwu Tan and Tai Wo sections are still under review
我很希望當局可以加快進度，並落實在維港兩岸海濱長廊興建單車徑。
I very much hope that the authorities can speed up and implement the construction of cycle tracks in the waterfront promenades on both sides of the Victoria Harbour
此外，當局亦應提出適當的政策，以扶助共享單車在香港普及化，例如沙田區議會早在4年前已經計劃在大學港鐵站及科學園設立 共享單車的項目。
Furthermore appropriate policies should be proposed to assist the popularization of bicycle - sharing in Hong Kong . For instance the Sha Tin District Council already planned to undertake bicycle - sharing projects at the University Mass Transit Railway Station and Science Park as early as four years ago
