Bicycle lanes?

Build PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALKS FIRST FASHOLA.

WITH UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE.

Then we can talk realistically about bicycle lanes.

You can't have bicycle lanes beside open gutters.

The very idea is ludicrous.

Our Fashola has really lost it... Anyway, good initiative just isn't realistic for several reasons.

manny4life: Our Fashola has really lost it... Anyway, good initiative just isn't realistic for several reasons.

Bicycles used to crowd our streets way before Fashola and there was nothing unrealistic about it. This is just you and your usual ignorance..

Newly constructed roads in lag have pedestrian sidewalk plus underground drainage. Those with open drainage are the ones probably constructed by Tinubu and some federal roads.

Ignorance or hate?

Meanwhile, lets talk about Aba or Onitsha, thats what me Im itching to talk about. What are the Governors there doing thats making their citizens concentrate on the living conditions of Lagos after fleeing home due to the deplorable conditions there?

Are you telling me Fashola don't build underground drains in Lagos? In Niger Delta states most of their roads are with underground drains. Well, the last time i get to lagor, i was at Isolo, and i saw open drain, was little bit dissapointed shall

While the policy's commendable, would it work? I would rather trek to a bus-stop than take a bicycle there to tie up.

Secondly, lagosians don't usually use motorcycles for short distances. They use it for long/medium distances that are blocked due to traffic congestion.

I think we need better policies and not this because I'm very sure the bicycles would get stolen. Abi no be Lagos we dey?

good idea it really going to millions of nigerian to get fit ... health wise!!
