In a bid to give Nigeria’s most populous city an effective transport system, the state government has announced plans to introduce bicycles lanes on major roads across the city.This announcement was made by the Commissioner for Transportation in Lagos, Mr Kayode Opeifa, on Sunday at a cycling event ‘Park and Ride’ which urge Nigerians to park their cars and ride bicycles for an enhanced lifestyle and cleaner environment.
Mr Opeifa noted that “the bicycle programme is on and pretty soon, you will see some roads in Lagos, marked as bike zones.” “ The alternative to Okada (motorcycle) is the bicycle.”
This will inflate the price of bicycles, we will then start seeing pimping of bicycles, alloys wheels, radio, AC and DVD’s ,lol! Sounds like a good idea.
