If, as SOM reported yesterday, Mysore Deputy Commissioner Manivannan comes through on his promise of separate bicycle lanes in city roads, that would be splendid.
It is important to encourage bicycle riding in a city like Mysore, which is still manageable and where people can get around on bicycles. I do not know whether Manivannan’s move will result in anything concrete but I commend any bureaucrat who took a moment to notice the traffic on our roads and especially, the plight of bicycle riders.
Manivannan himself promises to ride a bicycle as from November 1st as long as he is posted in Mysore and use his official car only when necessary. Good for him.
