The bicycle parks in the shape of umbrellas and cars, which the Konya Metropolitan Municipality has put into service in order to create awareness after the two-storey bicycle parks in Konya, have been attracting attention. Konya Metropolitan Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay said that they continue to be pioneers and examples in increasing the share of bicycle use in urban transportation, stating that "We have placed our bicycle parks, which we have created in different designs, in various points of the city.”
Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay said that they continue to carry out pioneering and exemplary studies in order to encourage bicycle use and create awareness on this issue in Konya, which has the longest bicycle road network in Turkey with 580 kilometers.
Stating that they have produced bicycle parks that will save space on the ground and attract attention with their visuality within the framework of the first Bicycle Master Plan approved by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and Climate Change of Turkey, Mayor Altay said: "Our work, which we have done to meet the park needs and contribute to the city aesthetics in the places where bicycle use is intense in the city center, has been very well received. As the city of bicycles in Turkey, we continue to be pioneers and examples in increasing the share of bicycle use in urban transportation. Our two-storey bicycle parks have already started to serve. Now our 'umbrella' and 'car' designed bicycle parks are also serving in various parts of the city."
The Konya Metropolitan Municipality also placed special trash cans made for bicycle users on the sides of the heavily used bicycle roads. In this way, bicycle users can throw away their waste without leaving the bicycle road in the trash cans.
