Dubai to have one of region's biggest cycling tracks

  DUBAI – Dubai's network of cycling tracks is about to get bigger with a new pair of 32km-long cycling and running tracks to open in November. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) said that the project will cover the residential districts of Mushrif, Mirdiff and Al Khawaneej. The project is being built at a cost of Dh67 million and covers two bridges that cyclists and pedestrians can use on Al Khawaneej and Academic City Streets. The tracks bring Dubai's growing network of cycling tracks to a length of 250km; one of the biggest in the region. Dubai plans to expand its cycling tracks to a network covering 500km by 2021, with lanes passing through Al Warqaa, Jumeirah Beach, Nad Al Sheba, Expo 2020 site, Downtown, Jebel Ali, Al Quoz, Al Karama, Oud Metha, Hor Al Anz, Al Qusais and Al Barsha. The city currently has cycling lanes extending 218km in Seih Assalam-Bab Al Shams-Al Qudra Street, Dubai Water Canal, Jumeirah Street, King Salman Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud Street and Al Mankhool Street.
