A number of advantages exist when bicyclists and motorists share the same road. One of

riders become more careful. The level of responsible driving is improved because drivers are

cyclists get to enjoy their rights especially those that ride as a hobby as well those that use
bicycles as means of their transport. The level of pollution as a result of emissions from
motorists reduce to some levels promoting a healthy environment.

inconveniences. One of the inconveniences is increased conflict between the drivers and riders. It
becomes a challenge for many riders and drivers specially when turning, and crossing roads and

supposed to use roads and this contributes to injuries and accidents. Furthermore, sharing of road
between the motorists and bicyclists increase instances of traffic jams especially in urban centers.
