This document discusses issues facing cyclists in Bucharest, Romania, including a lack of proper cycling infrastructure. It notes that past cycling lanes were built on sidewalks, which was unsuccessful. The mayor refuses to build lanes in the road and only supports lanes on sidewalks. In 2013, over 4,000 cyclists protested to demand better infrastructure. However, the mayor has ignored cyclists and experts in favor of prioritizing automotive traffic. As a result, Bucharest currently has no safe cycling routes to support its thousands of bikers.
