YES.. There definitely should be dedicated tracks for cyclists on city roads.. Looking at the growth at which the city traffic is increasing, it calls for a serious thought of using the NON-POLLUTING modes of transport.. bicycles on road add to 3 advantages -- 1. Less pollution 2. Less Traffic 3. Health Benefits
Unlike western countries where bicycle culture is prevelant, it is not that easy for a country like India to develop and promote this culture because of the extreme weather conditions in most part of the country BUT wherever possible and to whatever extent, WE and GOVERNMENT must promote ciitzens to use the bicycles for smaller distances..
