Cycle Manifesto demands more space
With increasing air pollution and sky-rocketing fuel prices, many people across the State have taken to bicycles. However, poor facilities and safety concerns prevent many from pedalling onto busy city roads.
Now, Cycle Mayors across the State have presented a Cycle Manifesto to all political parties ahead of the Assembly elections. “Most of the demands are not just meant for ease of cycling, but safer streets in general,” said Sahir Abdul Jabbar, Cycle Mayor of Kozhikode.
Car-free days
Some of the key demands include car-free days every week; at least a road in a district be left for cyclists and pedestrians on Sundays; cycle tracks in every district possibly near the beaches and well-connected to the main roads; earmarking 1/10th of the available parking space for cycles; and cycle lanes in all newly built roads.

The “Pink Riders”, the first girls’ cycle collective of Kozhikode was launched on Monday, on the occasion of International Women’s Day aiming to attract more girls into cycling.
