Dhaka's Teen Cyclists Redefine Urban Transport: Inside the Growing Bicycle Movement

Dhaka is notorious for its gridlocked traffic. However, a quiet revolution is happening on the streets. Teenagers from Mirpur, Banani, and Uttara are bypassing the hours-long bus jams by commuting to their colleges on bicycles.

Cycling groups are popping up all over the city. These teens aren't just commuting; they are advocating for dedicated bike lanes, cleaner air, and safer traffic regulation. 'We save at least two hours every day,' says Joy, a college student from Mohakhali.
