Has the government check the officials BMI, otherwise if the fall on the bike, you open floodgates for litigation. My sister backside will break the seat, too tiny for her, i'm worried. Thanks

Nothing wrong with this really. No bad done picking up small wins while working on big goals. Most developed countries ride bicycles a lot to reduce carbon emission, burn fat and avoid traffic.

There is nothing bad in riding a bicycle to work, not everybody will drive a car in life time. A lot of people do ride bicycle to work in developed country like UK,Russia etc. So what is special about ours, is also a way to disconggest our road. School pupil need it @seyiamakinde

He is health conscious. This will prevent risk from obesity, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, atherosclerosis etc among civil servants. Professionals use bicycles a lot overseas.

This is a good initiative by Governor Seyi Makinde????
