Cycling in Turkey

[7] A 2019 survey of Turkish college students found that 10 percent of cyclists wear a bike helmet.

[8] Respondents to a 2018 survey in Isparta said that Accident Prone Areas were the most important factor for integration with public transport.

[9] Some of the bike lanes created in that city in 2016 were removed in 2018, partly because roadside businesses wanted the space for car parking.

[10] The Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change has published a guide for cycle paths.

[21] Bikes (except tandems) are allowed on the Istanbul metro outside peak hours and if folded at any time.

[22] The city's sustainable urban mobility plan in 2022 suggested cycle feeder routes and junction improvements.

[30] Fancy Women Bike Ride (Turkish: Süslü Kadinlar Bisiklet Turu ) was started by Sema Gur, a high school teacher from Turkey.
