Caretaker ACM Kongsak Wantana Friday said he would convene a meeting on Monday April 24 to discuss how to implement the idea. He said he was hoping to launch bicycle lanes in every province across the country. Commuters, especially government officials, will be encouraged to ride bicycles for good health and energy saving. --The Nation 2006-04-21 This is a good idea to implement bicycle lanes in Thailand esp. in Bangkok. But will this project really make the government officials ride a bicycle? Waiting to see how this will be implemented - like use the existing road space or build flyovers for bicycles?
