The government commonly dismisses the call for bicycle promotion with the spatial rationale. However, it is precisely the problem of land shortage that requires bicycles to be the solution like in Tokyo, London, New York, Copenhagen and other similar places.
Sigh… it is all about face and money, and care less about risk of life loss of cyclists on roads not designed to accommodate bicycle.
