Bucharest city hall installs polls to mark bicycle lanes and deter car parking on lanes
The use of bicycles in Bucharest, as well as the special biking gatherings in the city have increased in the last couple of months. However, the bicycle traffic in Bucharest is still low compared to other European cities, while biking in the Romanian capital city might prove to be unsafe at times. However, the authorities are working on increasing the length of the bicycle lane system to 70 kilometers in the next year, a project which will cost EUR 5 million. According to estimations, there are 4,000 cyclists in Bucharest.
