Parisar is a Pune-based NGO working on sustainable urban mobility since 1988. In December 2025, Parisar released its Cycle Track Audit Report (2024–25) covering 35 km across 19 roads — finding that only 11% of segments were rated "Good."
A systematic, data-driven field auditing platform built for Parisar's cycle track assessment programme. Surveyors document obstructions, surface conditions, intersections, and safety data across Pune's 19 cycle track roads — generating evidence for municipal advocacy and infrastructure improvement.

CycleAudit is Parisar's internal auditing tool used by surveyors on the ground to document the real condition of Pune's cycle tracks. Every obstruction, broken surface, missing ramp, and dangerous intersection is recorded, scored, and converted into advocacy evidence.
Roads are divided into precise 500m segments with GPS coordinates, ensuring complete and consistent coverage.
Safety, Continuity, and Comfort — three independent dimensions measured from real field observations and combined into a final weighted score.
Auto-generate comprehensive stakeholder reports with segment scores, observations, and actionable recommendations.
Each audit is linked to a registered surveyor, enabling accountability and historical tracking of audit data over time.
Parisar's 2024–25 Cycle Track Audit uncovered critical deficiencies across Pune's cycle network — findings that drive the case for urgent infrastructure intervention.
Only 11% of 77 audited segments met the threshold for Good quality — safe, continuous, and comfortable for everyday cyclists.
More than 60% of segments recorded fixed or movable obstructions blocking the cycle track, from hawkers to utility panels.
Nearly 40% of intersection points lack proper on/off ramps, forcing cyclists to dismount — a critical continuity failure.
A third of all segments have no functional lighting after sunset, making night cycling unsafe and discouraging commuters.
22% of segments have portions where the cycle track is entirely absent — forcing cyclists onto vehicular traffic lanes.
More than half of all segments reported pedestrians regularly walking on the cycle track, reducing usable width.
CycleAudit captures every dimension of cycle track quality — from surface material to obstruction counts — in a structured, repeatable format that ensures consistency across all surveyors.
Evaluate buffer zones, lighting conditions, intersection risk, and parked vehicle conflicts to measure how safe each segment is for everyday cyclists.
Buffer · Lighting · TrafficTrack missing sections, total obstruction counts, ramp quality at intersections, and signage presence to assess uninterrupted cycling flow.
Ramps · Signage · GapsAssess surface material type, shade coverage, pedestrian conflict frequency, and footpath quality to determine cyclist comfort.
Surface · Shade · FootpathDocument fixed, movable, and parked vehicle obstructions with specific type, count, and severity across every segment.
Fixed · Movable · ParkedCapture on/off ramp quality, markings, signage, and traffic device presence at every intersection point along the track.

Once a segment is submitted, it is automatically locked to prevent duplicate entries. Surveyors can view submitted data but cannot overwrite it — ensuring data integrity across the entire audit.
Once all segments are audited, a weighted final score (0–100) is calculated using segment lengths as weights. Roads scoring below 50 are rated "Poor" and flagged for priority intervention.
Each segment receives three independent scores — Safety, Continuity, and Comfort — which are averaged into a final score from 0 to 100.
Measures risks that could cause accidents or discourage use of the track.
Measures whether a cyclist can travel the segment without interruption.
Measures how pleasant and comfortable the segment is to cycle on.
