Egypt is launching a national sports initiative, “A Bike for Every Citizen,” which aims to change the country’s transportation culture, promote fitness, and reduce fuel consumption and emissions, according to a cabinet statement. The government will work with bicycle companies to provide bikes, with payments being made in installments through banks. The initiative will be rolled out next month, starting with Cairo and Giza.
