Where are all the bicycle lanes ?

Many of cyclists do not like riding on the bicycle lanes even though bicycle lanes have been built beside some roads and footpaths, but still no one wants to use them because of they are bumpy and full with obstruction.Their bicycle wheels might be trapped in drains which are left open on some footpaths. As bike lanes failed to draw attention from authorities, the dream of he Thai Journalists Association (TJA) and the Environmental Reporters Association to make Bangkok a bicycle-friendly is failed. Orawit Hemajutha, deputy director of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA)'s transport division, said no additional bike lanes had been built in recent years as authorities appeared not to be interested in expanding them. Now, there are only 26 bike lanes across Bangkok. Some lanes are full of potholes. Other lanes have been turned into parking lots and some street vendors have occupied them. Mr Orawit said a budget set aside for creating bike lanes in the city was less than 1% of the BMA's total budget. Each bike lane required a budget of only 700,000-800,000 baht per kilometre to build, he said. The cycling needs to improve as we need people's attention to them.

I think cycling is more significant than everyone thought. Cycling assist with the environment as it uses no energy unlike cars or other transportation. Moreover, it is also a sport which makes us healthy. I think we should pay more attention to cycling, it needs the society pressure. There are many bike lanes that need to improve, and the government still deny it.

I think the government deny the bicycle lanes becuase cycling is not famous in Thailand. Almost, Thai people drive a car and ride a motorcycle. They don't ride a bicycle to go to somewhere because the weather in Thailand is very hot. This is the reason that cycling is not popular in Thailand.
