Pedal revolution

Safety is one of the most critical issues that will be encountered.

In a move that could tilt the scales in favour of a greener, user-friendly and more accessible means of transport, Lalitpur Metropolitan City has taken the initiative to launch a cycle sharing scheme similar to the ones successfully operating in cities like London and Paris. If implemented, Lalitpur will be the first city in Nepal to introduce the docked sharing scheme, as Mayor Chiri Babu Maharjan intends to replicate the success achieved by the scheme in other countries. Despite all the fanfare, numerous caveats will undoubtedly be a cause for concern for the authorities.
