Bicycle development advancements in Almaty city.
Revamped Guide to Cycling in Almaty
Imagine two-wheeled freedom amidst the Kazakh city's stunning terrain – that's the allure of cycling in Almaty! While the urban mobility scene ain't yet a full-blown bike paradise, the city's got a burgeoning network of bike lanes and paths catering to cyclists.
Caught up in the thrill of cycling as a leisure or tourist activity, Almaty's bike infrastructure has seen some serious development. You'll find dedicated bike lanes along Abay Avenue, within the KCSD "Atakent" territory, and Timiryazev Street, to name a few. Moreover, there are bike paths separated from traffic on Baiturlynov Street, Kunaev Street, and Gogol Street, among others, ensuring a smoother ride for you.
Now, the snowfall might necessitate a temporary removal of those road blockers designed for cyclist safety during winter. Fear not, as these "bollders" will be back in spring, ready to welcome riders to the refreshed cycling corridors on Baiturlynov Street and Kunaev Street.
As for future plans, the Almaty urban planners got some big ideas up their sleeves. The ambitious Almaty Mountain Cluster project is constructing cycling routes and hiking trails alongside winter sports facilities, aiming to transform Almaty into a year-round cycling haven. They're also focusing on sustainability and eco-friendly transport options, ensuring that the city's growth is in harmony with the environment.
All in all, while present bike lanes are a modest start, the focus on cycling as a key component of broader tourism and sustainability initiatives suggests an exciting future for cyclists exploring Almaty!
