The Colombo Muncipal Council (CMC) is to launch a pilot program to allocate a separate lane for bicycle users today, as there is a considerable increase in the use of push bicycles due to the current fuel and transport issues.

A senior CMC official said that the pilot program will be launched today opposite the Bank Avenue, Colombo, at 11.00 am.

Separate lanes have been allocated for bicycles on the Bank Mawatha and slots have been allocated for the safe parking of bicycles, he said.

The official added that in addition to Bank Avenue, and apart from the pilot program, it is also planned to allocate a cycle lane on George R. de Silva Mawatha in Kotahena as well from today. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)

This is an excellent measure. Use of Bicycles MUST be encouraged. Thereby the health of the younger and slightly older aged people of the nation will improve. Let us hope this use of cycles will be something that prevails for a LONG TIME..MM

OK. The Rajapaksha family looters scooped the wealth of the country. As a result, we parked our vehicles at homes and invested in bicycles and now we are offered separate lanes to ride them. Wonderful!

At the moment two lanes at the traffic signals turns into about six lanes. These bicycle lanes will be used as passing by three wheelers and others. It will be a failure in Sri Lanka.
