I can appreciate it but it can't be possible here - we've already covered the usual lazy/corruption/kidnap, but let me ask you:

why should anybody ride their bike in the tropical hot sun or tropical rain abi? What's the temperature in Naija on any given day? Almost 33 with 90%+ humidity. That's punishment. In Netherlands (I just googled), their hottest temperature is a cool 22C in the summer. That's pleasant.

Which roads are you going to safely ride on? Is it the swimming pools and ponds, or the potholes, or the dangerous drivers, or the pavements choked with mama put, vulcanizers, yam roasters, and missing drain covers?
keep giving yourself excuses

Nothing new here. I live in the Netherlands and it's very normal for high profile people and CEO's biking to work. When I studied, many of my professors biked to school even in winter. Biking is a culture here and not indicative of one's socio-economic status.

Now imagine going for a date like this. Beautiful cool

Netherlands and Denmark are places where they really value bicycle. Here in Nigeria everybody wants to form big boy, but in those countries where people are really enjoying they don't see the need for all this extra.

Another thing is risk of accident and distance Sha. Imagine someone riding bicycle in Lagos. It is very risky na. Even okada that can sharply move out in case of incasity are not safe talk less of bicycle.

Everybody in Holland has a bicycle. If they don't have it now, they have it at a point in their life. I repeat everyone. so bicycles before cars in Holland.
