Here’s something Indian cities could learn from the United Kingdom. London has launched a Cycle Superhighway to make more people commute via bicycles. Highly visible bright blue cycle lanes, symbolising freedom, now run from the southern suburb of Merton to the city centre, as well as from Barking, in eastern London. The remaining ten routes are eventually planned to radiate out from the centre of London like spokes, and will be finished by the end of 2015. Cycling has become an effective form of alternate transportation in congested metropolises like New York City and Paris. Promoting a pedal culture improves traffic conditions while lowering the city’s carbon footprint.
