The bike lanes to nowhere
Cyclists, urban planners say the two dedicated lanes in the capital are of little use without a wider network

Around 15 months after the inauguration of Dhaka North City Corporation s first dedicated bicycle lane in Agargaon, the initial optimism of cyclists surrounding the lanes is waning due to illegal occupation and lack of integrated networks.
In addition to the one in Agargaon, DNCC later unveiled another lane in Manik Mia Avenue a couple of months back as part of a Tk 694 crore urban development project. But either of them is yet to make any meaningful impact in city life, cyclists say.
