Buenos Aires, 1 million bike rides a day
2021 CE • Argentina
"Buenos Aires is extending its network of cycle lanes into the very heart of the city in a bold move to encourage a million daily bike trips by 2023. Argentina’s capital already has 250km of cycle lanes, but the latest plan will create protected lanes in an extra 17km of some of the city centre’s busiest roads . . . The new lanes will also create through routes from the suburbs to the city centre. Half of all trips within Buenos Aires are less than 5km, so the city authorities hope locals will find it easy to take to their bikes."
