It is difficult to commute by bike in District 1 because the cycling network is not very extensive. Nonetheless, cyclists do not encounter significant elevation changes. District 1 is also not very suitable for those who prefer to get around as pedestrians since most daily needs are sometimes challenging to meet without the use of a car.
