We can't because of our "car is an achievement" mentality

Even when we know it's far more healthier for health and the world in general climate wise

Cycling solves a lot of problems. Productivity, health, household incomes, road safety, energy efficiency, security etc.
It is the most modern mode of transportation except for Nigerian educated and conditioned folks

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

You're deceiving yourself if you're seriously comparing Europe to Africa especially Nigeria.

I heard car horns are used only in case of emergency in Europe. What do we use car horns here for.

I can't argue with you. But Africa is not Europe and will never be!!!

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.

They see it as a form of poverty. But it's becasue of our poverty mindset that's why we see it that way. White people have not known poverty for a really long time, I'm talking about generations upon generations back, like before the industrial revolution. That's why they are callled advanced country, it's not only in technology, but in mindset. They are senior citizens.

Our roads are not bicycle friendly and so our culture. Until will have a dedicated bicycle lines, educate drivers to respect bicycles riders and give them right of way, ridding bicycles in Naija is the shortest way to get to hell or heaven...

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
If you buy bicycle no one is stopping you from using it

No bicycle lane

Impatient drivers, they don't even obey zebra crossing in Nigeria, one way drivers will knock you off and run.

Sloppy roads

We see Trailers plying major roads in Naija

Weather (inside hot sun)

It is actually doable if only government will enforce some more corporate social responsibility on Nigerian companies.

suffering:
Nigerians are fools, end of story. We are backward in thinking. People catch lung cancer despite not smoking all their lives so they wonder how they contracted the disease. Many people completely ignore the fact that most citizens have at least two cars in their houses nowadays. Multiply that by eighty million Nigerians and it won’t remain a mystery anymore.

have u bought your own bicycle?
