I wish we could somehow bring this into the political conscience.

Interesting article, thank you!

 

There was an article in June 2013 talking about bicycle lanes in Jozi http://www.fin24.com/Economy/Bicycle-lanes-on-cards-for-Joburg-20130125

 

Also check out http://www.bikemap.net/en/regional/South+Africa/South+Africa/Johannesburg/ and http://www.juca.org.za/

 

Would be interesting to see what has been done in 10 years across the world in large and small cities and whether they can intergrate the different methods of transport safely.
