Why Can't Nigerians Adopt The Cycling Means Of Transportation (bicycle) Pics. by Cashsteady(m): 1:04pm On Sep 19, 2021
Bicycles are seen as an essential means of transportation in most European countries and Asian countries and some few countries in America and Africa,not that they don't have cars but they see it as a faster means of moving within the city..But still don't understand why people here don't adapt the method... Here in Nigeria if you ride bicycle on major roads people just keep staring at you because they don't see it as common thing. Some even see it as a sign of poverty, everyone wanna drive exotic cars so they can get noticed...

What people don't Know is that bicycle is actually a faster means of transportation to move within a city rather than waiting all day long in your car stucked in traffic. A journey you Would spend 2hrs With your car stucked in traffic you would spend less than an hour with a bicycle..

I strongly think Nigerians should adopt this method most especially in Lagos.. fancy cars is not everything.. bicycle saves time and it's cheaper to afford..if we adopt this method I can tell you traffic would drastically reduce in Lagos and Nigeria as a whole

The accident will be too much. If okada is banned ,why allow bicycle? The casualty rate will be unprecedented

Bro I love this idea because, it will help economically during this harsh Buhari economy, also these days that we no longer think of exercises, it will help burn those extra fat an keep fit, reduce the emission of green house gases and other benefits.

Bro after I took puff outta my blunt.. my eyes was open to see the kind of discomfort it will cause.
Mehn, just imagine the kind thick sweat that will be coming out of your body, you will be restless the whole day.. if your office no get a.c na die be that one. The climate condition of the west and Europe is different from the Sahara region, the sun here na die, who else noticed the sun became hotter when Buhari took over.
I no ride bicycle abeg

Why is accident not to much in Europe It's actually a faster and better means of transportation... And yeah I think okada should be ban In major cities like Lagos but Nigerians are stubborn and won't listen

those places in Europe have decent and law abiding citizens. Nigerians have the highest rate of traffic offenders in the world.

For instance,how many times do you see people driving one way in those countries?

Riding from mainland to island everyday and back to the mainland.

Body odour will be too much except your office has bathroom.

It's hot here already, cycling will make you sweat. Like cycling from Oshodi to VI. Or One-man village to Federal Secretariat.

You just discover that all greetings are made to you from afar. All meetings with you would be by zoom. Finally, you will now have a new name like "Gambo mai Rally*, "Kunle oni Keke", "Obi Bic", "Ndifon bicycle"

Honestly that would be a great idea but it comes with a lot of cons, like the major reason why I don't take my mountain bike to far places is because of careless drivers, imagine say person go dey drag road with dangote trailer! No be death him dey find.

Abeg ooo, Nigeria is not yet ripe for that, the ONLY place such a thing can work na inside estates.



Dis my bicycle dey fly once e enter gear five, na so I carry am enter Idiroko Road last Sunday, omo see where I dey drag speed with okada people...

Mad drivers everywhere. They will pursue you enter gutter and still curse you join.


Cycling got lots of health and environmental benefits, but Nigeria cities aren't structured to accommodate it.
