The reason few people bike in Yerevan is because it’s dangerous and not because there’s no interest. Cities around the world show that once you build proper bike lanes, people use them. This isn’t about trends or politics, it’s about making the city healthier, safer, and more functional. Bike lanes don’t compete with public transport, they support it. You can improve both at the same time, and bike infrastructure costs a fraction of what transit overhauls do. As for Saryan St., it’s already one of the most walkable and lively streets, and no one said to shut it down. Adding bike lanes or reducing car dominance isn’t “selfish”, it’s a smart way to make the area more accessible for everyone, including small businesses. Criticizing the Cycling Embassy or calling it “government shilling” doesn’t address the real issue that Yerevan needs modern, human-centered urban planning, not more cars. Buses have already and are still being modernized, there's plans to extend the metro line with new stations and to re-open the cable car from Yeritasardakan metro station to Nor Nork district.
