Bikway
Modular bicycle paths from sustainable material to kickstart urban cycling.
Urban cycling is a global megatrend riding on the wave of urbanization and sustainability. The economical, health and social benefits of cycling are widely know, but many cities have difficulties in making the cultural shift due to lack of planning knowledge, money and public support.
Bikway has a solution to this. It offers pre-fabricated modules from recycled material that can be connected to implement an urban bicycle track. In comparison to competitors, it’s ten times faster too build, half of the price, sustainable and and easily modifiable.
This offers city municipalities flexibility in infrastructure planning to kickstart urban cycling everywhere around the world.
