Niterói urban cycling infrastructure and usage

Overview

Niterói has expanded its cycling infrastructure and seen a significant increase in bicycle usage. In August 2026, the city inaugurated a new public bicycle parking facility in Charitas near the Catamaran Station, providing 400 free spaces to integrate cycling with waterborne transport.

By September 2026, data indicated a surge in cycling activity, with the Marquês do Paraná bicycle lane recording a single-day peak of 8,213 cyclists. This figure represents a 28% increase in bicycle traffic compared to early 2025. Local officials noted that the data suggests cycling has transitioned from a leisure activity to a primary method of daily commuting.
