However, the opening of the first 12km section has been delayed for several months, raising scepticism among the cycling community.</p><p>CETUD acknowledged via email that existing cycling infrastructure was inadequate, and that the government still had no policy to encourage urban cycling.</p><p>On a scorching Sunday, visibly irritated drivers were stopped to make way for cyclists racing in a loop on a highway outside Dakar.</p><p>Guisse Mohammed, a 39-year-old pharmacist who rarely misses Sunday outings on his sports bike, still drives to work for safety reasons.</p><p>"I have been thinking about buying a city bike," he said. "Having more cycling lanes could be a motivation."</p></div><a name="contact"></a></div><div class="instance-footer instance-box-mt"><div class="kInstance-Navigation"><div id="jNavigationBlock"
