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.
@9NXJ62J8mos8MO
Proper bike lanes are needed away from traffic. Not just token white lines down roads these are so dangerous.
@9NWKFJ98mos8MO
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)
@9TX3D325mos5MO
Only where there are genuine advantages. Some barely used bike lanes have been added & are very cost ineffective.
@9T3DWTH6mos6MO
Bike lanes should not be added as the problem is the accessibility of bikes, so the government should provide schemes to increase accessibility
@9T3DSPH6mos6MO
Yes, however they need to construct it so that it does not interfere with people trying to commute on cars/public transport
@9SWRT3W6mos6MO
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.
@9RM6ZGG7mos7MO
Cycling with a family of young children isn’t attractive as the structure isn’t there and our weather is awful.
