Cycling could be key to unlocking Kampala's future in a climate-changed world

About this Episode

Going to work, school or shopping, cycling can be the easiest way to get around a congested city. As long as you can do it without fear of dying. Activist, community educator and avid cyclist Owiny Hakim explains what it's like to cycle in Kampala and why an integrated, comprehensive approach to making cycling easier and safer could pay huge dividends in the future. As the city grapples with the consquences of climate change, it turns out two wheels might be better than four.

And Climate Talk's William Ssekiranda shares his experience of a narrow escape after a bicyle accident a few years ago.
