Integrating cycling into city and transport planning is key. Along with city-wide cycling infrastructure, policies to reduce vehicle use (with high parking fees), reducing speeds, etc. Cities like #Pune have made @CyclePlanPune and set-up a Cycle Department #BringBackCycles
Yes! If Pune core city has great walkable & cycle-safe roads, good bus connectivity, shuttles, then people coming to core city could leave their bike or car behind! @harshadsustrans @rgadgi @sujitjp @ravisinha_india @vpshali25

Roads are quieter, less busy - it's a relief! But no congestion also means an invitation to speeding ... which is deadly, especially impacting pedestrians #saferoadsIndia #COVID19India #BuildBackBetter @TrafficATCC , @AhdTraffic @FollowSPTM @PuneCityTraffic @cotguj
