কলকাতায় পর্যাপ্ত গণপরিবহন ব্যবস্থা এবং সাইকেল ও হাঁটাচলার অবাধ ও নিরাপদ স্বাচ্ছন্দ্য আসার সুনির্দিষ্ট কোনো লক্ষণ না দেখা পর্যন্ত - এই কথাগুলো আমাদের বারবার বলে যেতে হবে। নানাভাবে, নানা উপায়ে

There’s no impediment strong enough to stop #Everyday #cyclists of #Kolkata from #Cycle2Work or #Cycle2School.
Please facilitate #cyclists instead of restraining them.

Kolkata want cycles back on the roads. @SatanjibGupta @BYCS_Kolkata @BycsIndia appeals to @KPTrafficDept & @KolkataPolice to remove the ban.

#Kolkata's affirmative tendency to adopt to cultural changes and comparatively low social barriers, provide #cycling a tremendous potential

#Cycling ensures #SocialDistanacing during #Unlock1

Pls cater to the masses by prioritising #bicycle movement in #Kolkata

Pop-up cycle lanes in the Arterial Roads are the need of the hour. This could be the cornerstone of our #futureofmobility too.

BE ALERT . NOT AFRAID !

🌱 #AirPollution levels have fallen up to 50% in European cities!

🚲 #COVID19 highlights the direct connection between air pollution & mobility. Many people are choosing the #bicycle these days since it's the safest way to get around the city.

Though there is no prevailing #cyclingculture in the city but many of the #essentialservices people (like local distributors of groceries, stationeries or medicines) depend totally upon #bicycles.

While citizens can start by #cycling around, authorities can take the first steps towards being sensible by repealing absurd bans.

An applaudable initiative by the @UN, who also declared the #WorldBicycleDay to promote sustainable development.

[Kolkata Cycle Samaj || কলকাতা সাইকেল সমাজ @cyclesamajkol]

Until the #world is safe for us, we must struggle to protect ourselves. Unfortunately, this puts the responsibility of being 'safe' on the ones affected, rather than on those who are making it unsafe. Making things worse, is an apathetic administration.

🚲 Your next car is a bike.

Why use a 2000-pound SUV to move what is often less than 200 pounds?

🌍 The #future of micro-mobility is bright; it will make our cities healthier & more #sustainable. And then, your next bike could, indeed, be a bike.

"Pay special attention to Section 292 of the West Bengal Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, a provision that is often misused by the law-keepers”.

Thanking @ttindia for succinctly capturing the plight of #cyclicts in #Kolkata.

#Bollywood #celebrities are often seen #cycling, for whatever reasons. Unfortunately, we don't #experience much of this in #Kolkata.

Hopefully, this image (collected) of #ShahRukhKhan and #SuhanaKhan will inspire others.

Happy birthday, #KingKhan.
