Swifter, Smarter & Cheaper


Den Haag – It’s the city of cycles. The downtown roads are narrow, often congested and bicycle is the fastest mode of transport here in the city :) Its amazing to see all colors of people, young, old, guys, girls, kids, even men in suits cycling their way to work, you might not get to see this in other parts of the developed countries.

Not only in Den Haag, people using cycle a lot in all over the Netherdands. The cyclists have a separate lane to which they should stick on to and a separate traffic signal (green, red, yellow illuminated cycle) to which they should look for in the intersections.

  1. Thinking of such a scenario in Chennai. Climate in Chennai is not conducive for long cycling. Also here bicycle seems to be a sign of poverty. Also everyone right from general public to the government is calous to the cyclist and never respect them. We need to change our attitude.
