The solution to the traffic problems?
 

I read in Emirates Today yesterday that the RTA are now considering a network of shaded (by trees, presumably) cycle paths around Dubai. As the weather is fairly bike friendly for 8 months of the year and Dubai is pretty flat all year do you think this could be a better solution to our traffic woes than the well thought out (:rofl:) Salik? Would you use a network of bike paths in Dubai if they kept you away from the Landcruisers?

what makes you think that the Landcruiser drivers wont use the cycle paths??

Actually I was thinking the landcruiser drivers would just move to great big mountain bikes and wear 100% tint sunglasses. Hopefully then they would just ride off into the nearest palm tree and knock some sense into themselves without hurting anybody else.

I definately would...back home (Holland) I went everywhere on my bike...it's one of the few things I miss...
Not to go to work though, but for taking the kids to school, running a small errand or just for fun during the weekend it would be brilliant...

Re: The solution to the traffic problems?
 

I'd definitely cycle to and from work, if I was on a safe path entirely separated from traffic. It'd be quite pleasant during the winter.

is the white bicycle of amsterdam for real, or just an urban myth?

Re: The solution to the traffic problems?
 

no, it did exist, not sure if it still does...it's a bit of a knit your own yogurt thing and it never took on properly...
they have a similar thing with cars, where you share a car between a load of people...
