Urgent need to switch to alternate transport

Increasing traffic in the big cities of India like metro and semi metro cities needs to introduce extensive use of bicycle as an alternate transport. The turn around in traffic sollution is really needed. We can take an example of various cities which have made it possible to resolve the traffic. New york and Amsterdam has taken this on high priority and achieved success at so much extent. The join efforts by these two cities have started a mission called "New Amsterdam bike slam" is touching the sky and getting overwhelming response.These Cities are changing, and safe and abundant cycling is part of the new face of these cities.The New Amsterdam Bike Slam is a high-profile, positive public event which offers an open collaborative way for helping New York and anybody else who is ready to learn from their experience to move together from old to new sustainable mobility i.e. Bicycle.

The seperate bicycle tracks withing the city just besides the main roads can be constructed to allow the bicyclists for the safe and hassle free bicycle riding like they are in various cities of Europe. Its not too difficult for the Indian government to construct such kind of roads. Its a fact that everywhere separate roads are not possible but some area can be clubbed for bicycles and vehicles, some only for vehicles and some only for bicycles. Government can ask for the donations for such a noble cause from big industries.
