 * Bikes in Mexico City:**

The traditional city urban transport planning process has given rise to transport systems that result in higher car ownership, more and longer trips and less public transport. This has brought about community costs in terms of road fatalities and injuries, congestion, large capital investment,high personal transport costs and environmental degradation.

Many cities in the world today are looking at enhancing their sustainability ... by including cycling and walking as part of their integrated transportation strategies.
