Streetscape of future is bike friendly

THE comeback of the bike is one of the more notable transport phenomena of recent times.

City and country people of all ages are taking to the trusty two-wheeler, in some cases forsaking the car.

Studies show a 30% increase, or more, in bicycle traffic in urban areas. And, while noble aspirations to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality are to be commended, the self-propelled method of travelling is also much cheaper, an important consideration these days.
