Cities are now full of gas-guzzling vehicles which not only pollute the environment but also make mobility worse. It is sometimes funnily said that in some metro cities, movement in traffic is made in hours not in minutes. Such is the situation and it is expected to deteriorate more. Traffic congestion and air pollution are taking a huge toll on the health of its citizens. Not to mention that car usage is highly linked to obesity and heart problems. There is one way to tackle all these issues, using a green mobility solution. Bicycles are by far the most preferred green mobility solution; they don’t pollute; easy to ride; cheap to maintain; affordable.
