Usability considerations

In this post, we look at the usability considerations for the project. Assuming the project is up and running, how useful will it be? Will it have the required impact. Some facets are:
  • Will enough people shift from their personal motorised vehicles to use bicycles?
  • Will there be a consequent positive impact on traffic?
  • Could there be a negative impact due to reckless riding?
  • Will the project be financially sustainable?
  • Will the project be cost effective for the end user?
  • Will sponsors and involved companies see value in the project?
  • Will the security and maintenance factors be sustainable?
  • Will the general mindset transform over a period of time, making the cycles the preferred option?
  • Travel time considerations
  • Pollution exposure considerations
This blog will be updated based on inputs from brainstorming on the mailing list.

Are the officials waiting for enough cyclists on the road to start the project? Prospective cyclists are probably waiting for infrastructure.. deadLock !!
