City planning authority, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is looking to create dedicated bicycle paths and stands near Metro stations being developed in the megapolis, news reports say. They have cited that the newly-appointed Commissioner RA Rajeev wants to promote a bicycle movement on the lines of a country in South America.

The top official has been quoted as saying that the agency must move in sync with the world, which is responding to the environment call. While responding to the call of environment is always laudable, it is also important that these cycle paths are well thought of before implementation.
