Hongkong Cycling Alliance
Hongkong Cycling Alliance advocates a program to promote increased levels of cycling in Hong Kong. The proposed measures improve environmental conditions for everybody. More cycling means fewer motorized trips resulting in improved air quality and reduction in vehicle noise pollution. Hong Kong has been slow in awakening to the need for curbing traffic or creating better conditions for pedestrians. The potential for functional cycling with its tremendous benefits has been totally overlooked, putting Hong Kong drastically out of step with major world class cities.
They cite New York and London as sample cities for implementing pro-cycling measures. They aspire to similar standards as London and New York where the right to individual mobility by bicycle is officially respected and promoted, not persecuted as is actually happening in the SAR due to the unchecked, unsustainable, proliferation of cars, buses, and other road-hogging motor vehicles whose domination effectively strips citizens of the right to choose individual mobility by bicycle as an alternative.
