Nairobi’s infrastructure lacking amid pandemic as Kenyans turn to bikes

Nairobi, Jul 31 (EFE/EPA).- Cycling enthusiasts in the Kenyan capital Nairobi are calling for improved infrastructure in urban areas as people increasingly turn to the humble bicycle as a means of keeping fit amid coronavirus restrictions or simply as an alternative to public transport. Githinji, who owns a bicycle repair shop in Nairobi, says that while most people in his area use bicycles as a cheaper alternative to public transport, the systems in place in the city do not provide a safe environment for cyclists.
