About this presentation

The Sakarya Bicycle Project is a joint effort between the city's Transportation Directorate and the Center for Sustainable Transport in Turkey (SUM-Türkiye). Results from a May 2010 survey of 636 bicycle users in Sakarya show that nearly all riders - 99 percent - are male, with an average age of 40 years old. Half of respondents said they ride their bike to go to work. Most people said they prefer cycling because it is more economic and healthier than other modes of transport.
