The Problem:
Over the past decade, the utilization of cycling as a commuting option in Pune has drastically declined. Despite recreational cycling remaining popular, commuter cycling has seen a significant reduction in modal share. This decline exacerbates the ongoing traffic and congestion issues in the city.
Objective:
The primary aim of this design challenge is to revitalize commuter cycling in Pune. By addressing the barriers preventing people from adopting cycling for shorter commutes, we seek to promote sustainable and eco-friendly transportation alternatives.
