Description
Summary:This paper hypothesizes on how Hulhumale’ and its citizens can be encouraged to develop healthier lifestyles and environment by incorporating bicycle culture via bicycle sharing system throughout the city. The environment of Hulhumale’ is pleasant and green, with some flaws including increasing noise and air pollution which could be potentially reduced through the implementation of a bicycle system. A study showed that the citizens there were not particularly unhealthy. However, city life revolves so much around sedentary work, causing extreme limitation of daily physical activity. Further ideas are also explored about how a bicycle system can be a practical and efficient way of increasing health levels. While the current most commonly used method of travel is by motorcycle, concepts revolving around bicycle sharing systems and the usage of bicycles in general were taken excellently by the community.
