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

are u presently using bicylce as a means of transportation? if u arent, then which nigerians are u giving advise to?

It is a welcome development that would have saved the country very much in fuel consumption and environmental pollution. And mind you, cycling is as safe as a bike or even some four-wheel vehicles.

The accident will be too much. If okada is banned ,why allow bicycle? The casualty rate will be unprecedented
not really, it's because our people see bike riders as poor people who can't afford cars.

Bicycles aren't viable for long distances. Add to the fact that Nigerian drivers are very careless and impatient they won't hesitate to run over bicyclists out of anger.

We need to change our mindsets first. Trailer/truck guys don't respect danfo. danfo guys don't respect Okada, Okada guys don't respect walkers. Sanity on the road is about calmness and respect. Those two things are still far away from us in this part of the world.

At Present, if Govt creates paths for bicycles, I will never attempt riding on any major roads in Nigeria. Many are mad, few are roaming.

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.

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

Goodluck cycling from Maryland to Agege and still able to do a good days work and then back home again and the time the journey takes to and fro. undecided
