Great idea for cycle paths. I have been looking at google earth and definately will not be getting a car. there are some of us who do not like to drive ( even with ridiculous low price on fuel).  Messaied is  the ideal place to start a trial. there are alot of Norwegian there, and British and I guess Dutch- no one EVER usecd a car to get to school in norway. I do not have a car in the UK. I found living in the states really hard, and even walking 100 m along a road meant up and over car parks - not designed for wlakers and certainly not for cyclists. MAKE A START PLEASE- this could be an examople to the rest of Qatar. When people see how great cycling is ( even in 45degrees) it could take off. Make sure there is some physiacl barrier- as ME drivers are crazy- and separate underpass etc like in norway- so that kids can get to school without even being on the m,ain road. the cycle paths are spearate.  i do notn think UK spainsh / german style lanes would cut it . I am bringing my bike- whenn will they be ready?
