Master developer Nakheel is investing AED 150mn ($40.8mn) to bring 105 km of cycle tracks to its communities across Dubai, with all routes linked to the Governments Cycling Master Plan.
Safe, scenic bike routes are being created to encourage recreational cycling and promote health and wellbeing among families and individuals of all ages as part of Nakheels commitment to enhancing its developments with new facilities and services.
The developer is also building a 10 km super loop for more experienced riders as part of its cycle route network.
The Nakheel Communities Cycling Masterplan will be constructed over the next two years, with phased delivery between now and Q2 2019. Nakheel plans a series of subsequent bike tracks once the first 105 km are completed.
Work is already under way on a 5 km track at Nakheels new Nad Al Sheba community, currently under construction along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road in Dubai.
Other developments covered by phase one are Jumeirah Islands, Jumeirah Heights, Jumeirah Park, Jumeirah Village (Triangle and Circle), Al Furjan, The Gardens, Discovery Gardens and Garden View Villas.
