The bike lane at the Circle is TOTALLY USELESS. Every single car/jeep/bus runs on it, but no bikes.

I, for example, study at UP. I wouldn't mind going around in a bike if there was some place I could park the thing where it wouldn't disappear after I come from class. Oh yes, currently I walk around if I have at least 30 minutes to spare.

Factors affecting cycling levels may include:

-town planning
-the cycling infrastructure; cyclist "friendly" vs. cyclist "hostile" infrastructure
-trip-end facilities
-providing measures against theft
-retail policy
-marketing; the public image of cycling
-integration with other transport modes
