Cyclists ‘felt safe’ in Rwanda despite security concerns

Despite security concerns in Rwanda, cyclists have expressed feeling safe while biking on the country’s roads.

A recent survey conducted among cyclists in Rwanda showed that the majority of participants felt secure while riding their bikes, citing the presence of police patrols and community watch programs as contributing factors to their sense of safety.

Many cyclists also reported feeling a strong sense of community and solidarity among fellow riders, which they believe further enhances their safety on the roads.

According to the survey, only a small minority of cyclists reported instances of theft or harassment while cycling, indicating that overall, the cycling community in Rwanda remains relatively safe.

Government officials in Rwanda have also taken measures to improve road safety for cyclists, including the construction of dedicated bike lanes and implementing stricter traffic laws.

Despite these efforts, some cyclists still express concerns about their safety, particularly in more remote or less populated areas of the country.

Overall, however, the consensus among cyclists in Rwanda is that they feel relatively safe while biking, and many continue to enjoy the sport as a means of transportation and recreation.

As the government continues to invest in infrastructure and safety measures for cyclists, it is likely that the sense of security among cyclists will only continue to improve.
