My views:

1.Transportation,Energy and environmental benefits2.Economic and fiscal benefits 3.Health benefits4.Urban Design benefits

Would u like this or?

1.Saves time-for a 10 km distance in

DHAKA it takes around 1 hour and

more ,but though the heavy traffic u can

easily reach the destination by 30

minutes.

2.Less fuel burn-Cycle needs no Fuel.

3.Less carbon emission-No fuel burn, No

carbon

4.No congestion- if people starts

cycling(at least for short distance)

traffic in DHAKA would reduce by at

least 30%.

5.Staying healthy-Regular Cycling saves

people from Obesity, heart disease, and gift

them a fresh mood after a short workout.

6.No Cost-Cycling is a zero cost transport;

can save millions of money every year.

7.Greener and better community-instead of

having a large garage, less trees and narrow

houses we can have larger roads,more trees

and nice houses.If one person in one car only

is stopped number of cars in the community

would decrease.And the community would be

less polluted,greener and smarter.

You might say:

1.Its not safe

2.Its slow

3.Expensive

ARE YOU THINKING SOMETHING LIKE THIS??

So what would you say to this??

A Road bike in Dhaka can gain a speed of around 30-35 km per hour

Cycles are available from a range of 5000 tk. to 200,000 tk. in

SO What is the solution??

making lanes for cycles would ensure safety

Every offices, institutions and companies sneed provide parking space for cycles

Government might encourage cycling to reduce jam

Campaigns can be done to spread this idea and save Dhaka.

Government might reduce tax on cycle import to encourage sellers and importers.

Any question??
