The CAIRO BIKE SCENE promotes cycling in Cairo for everyday transportation and informs about the health BENEFITS of active transport. For group bike rides we meet at a set location and time and travel as a group through Cairo streets on bikes. If you want to organize a ride, simply create an event and share/post it on our wall (include location/meeting point, time, route).
هذه المجموعه لركوب الدر
جات بمصر.نتقابل في مكان و وقت متحدد و ننطلق مع المجموعه في شوارع القاهره
Participation in the bike ride is at no charge! It is organized by the community and everybody is invited to join. There are many REASONS FOR CYCLING in Cairo:
- AIR quality: cycling is CLEAN and doesn't contribute to the pollutants of cars in the air which are a great threat to health (cancer, heart disease, asthma ...)
- HEALTH: health benefits linked to being physically active (reduction in Diabetes, heart disease, depression, cancer), increased happiness
- TRAFFIC congestion: a serious problem in Cairo, bikes take up a fraction of the road space that cars do.
- DOOR-to-DOOR: you can cycle directly from home to work, home school
- CO2 reduction
- PROTECTION of green spaces, monuments and building from the adverse effects of pollution
- Cycling is QUIET - it doesn't cause noise pollution
- MONEY - cycling is relatively cheap
- increased "LIVABILITY" - it makes cities pleasant to live in.
- and of course the earth sends a little extra LOVE to those on bikes ;-)
Cycling is GREEN, CLEAN and quiet. Join us and experience the social, health and environmental BENEFITS of cycling. Cairo needs a comprehensive system of cycling lanes and safe sidewalks! We have to URGENTLY convince decision makers to start cycling-inclusive city and transport planning. Cycling should take a major role in transport discussions. Talk to your friends and decision makers about cycling!.. and RIDE YOUR BIKE !
