Hyderabad is set to be one of the most environmentally-friendly cities in India, as plans are in place to introduce a cycle track with a solar roof and footpath in the next year. The track, which will be built on an elevated platform, will have a solar roof to generate electricity and provide shade to cyclists.
The footpath, which will be available next to the cycle track, will be made of recycled plastic, making it more durable and eco-friendly. The cycle track will be equipped with Wi-Fi, and the footpath will be enhanced with solar-powered lighting, making it safer for pedestrians.
The cycle track will be extended from the core of the city to the outer parts, and authorities are hoping it will encourage more people to switch from motorized vehicles to cycles for their daily commute. To make the commute smoother, the cycle track will have a wide range of amenities like restrooms, water stations, and electric charging points.
There are more such tracks around the world that are innovative enough to keep cyclists enthusiastic about their sport:
