The RTA, in collaboration with Careem, will soon launch 3,500 new bikes in the city.

The initiative is an attempt to promote a healthy lifestyle and also reduce traffic in the city. Residents can rent cycles across 350 dedicated bike stations in various areas in the city. 

The bikes will be well-equipped with a GPS tracker and you can pay using your credit card, NOL card or through the S’hail smartphone app. How cool is that!

In fact, Dubai also has new cycle tracks added in areas like Jumeirah, encouraging people to cycle around the city.

A chai addict, a moody writer and mother to a smallie, my journey as a writer began with The Times of India. And now, here I am in Dubai pursuing my passion and exploring a new city, all in one go!
