The need is to know , why cycling is not used as mode of transport
The answer is simple , 16% of deaths on roads are of cyclist & pedestrian.
The argument is given that 16% is not 'on higher' side , as we see 27 % deaths are from 2/3 wheelers category. this adds up to 33 % in total for all 2/3 wheelers ,pedestrians & cyclist.
The cause of high percentage for 2 wheelers on roads ( i.e 71 % ) is due to failure of government to provide adequate & efficient public transport system. The total buses are just 1% of the total registered vehicles.
I find this two official documents , for the support of my data
An apex organisation under the Central Government , The Ministry of Road Transport & Highway, main vehemence is on road that are suitable for hight speed traffic, which count only care, jeeps & taxis ( 13 % ) & LMV ( 5%) . for whom the driving speed limit can be above 100 Km/ hr. where els 71% use is with two wheelers , with driving speed of 50-60 Km/hr.

What NGOs should target , for bringing a change in road system for integrating safe cycling:
(1) Advocating formation of separate wing in , The Ministry of Road Transport & Highway , for safety of cycle & other non motored vehicles along with pedestrian.
(2) Identity roads of city with heavy traffic & speed , mobilize local authority to mark cycling & non motored lane on it.
(3) Make educational institutes & government premises 'ONLY CYCLES & PEDESTRIAN' zone.
(4) Get free parking status for cycles at all the parking lots.
