Sit back and marvel at 14 minutes of (mostly) great bike infrastructure in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

I wish I could say all of Addis is like this but it's not. The city started doing a lot of construction for better pedestrian and bike lanes earlier this year, which is where these bike lanes were built. The construction is ongoing but it seems like they've abandoned the bike lanes for some reason. The current bike lanes only cover a very limited segment of the city

It started off fantastic, but then the bike lane abruptly ended (not even?) halfway through and then the biker had to dangerously ride into the road with all of the other cars. This isn't great bike infrastructure. It was only like that for a small area. The rest was non-existent bike infrastructure. Don't get me wrong...the small area where it was present was amazing...but if you want to bike to commute places then it's likely not going to cover where you're going. Beautiful city, though.
