Expanding bike lanes and bike-sharing programs encourages cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation. Proponents argue that it reduces traffic congestion, lowers emissions, and promotes a healthier lifestyle. Opponents argue that it can be costly, may take away road space from vehicles, and might not be widely used.

The government should make more provision for cyclists and endeavour to minimise cycling on roads by ensuring provision of segregated cycle paths. Cyclists should be required to have third party insurance and be subject to all traffic laws.
@9NXJ62J6mos6MO
Proper bike lanes are needed away from traffic. Not just token white lines down roads these are so dangerous.
@9NWKFJ96mos6MO
Yes use of bicycles should be promoted but with proper infrastructure for cycling rather than bike lanes tagged onto the side of the road (see netherlands as example)
@9TXMY773mos3MO
they should be them but I believe that they are making driving in cities extremely hard so they should reduce
@9TX3D323mos3MO
Only where there are genuine advantages. Some barely used bike lanes have been added & are very cost ineffective.
@9T3DWTH4mos4MO
Bike lanes should not be added as the problem is the accessibility of bikes, so the government should provide schemes to increase accessibility
@9T3DSPH4mos4MO
Yes, however they need to construct it so that it does not interfere with people trying to commute on cars/public transport
@9SWRT3W4mos4MO
Yes, and having lived in Kenya for a long time where bike lanes don't exist.. bike lanes promotes a fitter population and greatly decongests the road.
