Ask people what they need. With an existing cycling network, Chandigarh went to its citizens with one simple question: What is one thing the city could do to make cycling better? Here’s what they found: cyclists needed to feel safe at all places and at all times of the day. This guided the city’s efforts to revamp its cycle tracks—installing street lights along the tracks and cycle signals at junctions. A Cycle Safety Squad formed by the Traffic Police—to assist cyclists and prevent encroachments on the tracks—was another big step.
