Utilitarian cycling constitutes an important form of travel in Northern Ghana. Although cycling provides an indispensable way of reducing automobile pollution, traffic congestions and meeting the minimum daily physical activity recommended for healthy living, limited cycling infrastructure is available in Northern Ghana.
