72 thousand people rented shared bikes at Lítačka in the winter. Prague is changing, the number of cyclists is increasing every year, states Jan Čižinský
The first works on the reconstruction of the Libeň Bridge should begin this spring. Repairs to the bridge will require an annual tram lock.

“The tram will run to both ends, the most own will be possible to walk or cycle, there will be for rent. And then you can get on the tram again and continue, “explains Jan Čižinský. The bridge for pedestrians and cyclists will remain accessible throughout the reconstruction.
The opposition has reservations about repairing the Libeň Bridge, it does not like the high price and points out that the capacity will not be enough for cars. “I’m very sorry, but it’s completely nonsense. At the moment there are cars, buses, fire trucks, there is no problem with the width profile. The proponents who wanted to spread it then planned nonsense there to plant trees, which would be the most expensive flowerpot in the universe. Or car parking, which would be the most expensive parking lot in space. ”
Around the city by bike
Cycle lanes on some busy roads are also a much-discussed topic.

“Cyclists rode on those routes, but it was much more dangerous, because car drivers have no idea that the cyclist can go there,” explains Jan Čižinský and support for the fact that the number of cyclists in Prague is constantly increasing. “We have connected to Lítačka to rent shared bikes. In the winter, 72 of these bikes were rented in three thousand months. Prague is changing, the number of cyclists is doubling every year. “
The possibility of renting shared bikes at Lítačka speeds up movement around Prague, and the city expects that interest will increase in the spring and summer. “This means that they will actually get off the public transport, for example, find the bike and ride the last bit of the bike, which will speed up public transport even more. And that’s exactly what the city needs. So that we don’t suffocate so that we can move around Prague even in those cars. “
How much has the Exhibition Grounds changed in recent years? The Industrial Palace will also be reconstructed, will it only mean the completion of the left wing or will the repairs concern the entire building? Listen to the whole interview with the mayor of Prague 7, Jan Čižinský.
