Dozens of cyclists participated in a parade along Abidjan’s Marie-Thérèse Houphouët Boigny boulevard on Saturday, advocating for dedicated bicycle lanes in the Ivorian city. The demonstration aimed to raise awareness about the lack of safe cycling infrastructure in Abidjan, the country’s largest city. Currently, only one bicycle lane exists along the coastline. Participants are seeking improved conditions for cyclists and increased investment in cycling infrastructure. The event highlighted the growing demand for alternative transportation options within the urban environment. Organizers hope the demonstration will prompt authorities to prioritize the development of a comprehensive network of bike lanes. This push for infrastructure comes as cities worldwide increasingly focus on sustainable transport solutions.
