Once known as the "cycle city of India", Pune has experienced a rapid growth in the number of motorised two wheelers replacing the bicycle.
In 2005 the city was reported to have one million two wheelers.
The report also stated that the increase in vehicular and industrial activity had led to a 10-fold increase in particulate pollution in some areas of the city.
In 2018 the number of vehicles in the city has exceeded its population with 3.62 million total vehicles, 2.70 million being two wheelers.
In the fiscal year 2017–18 alone 300,000 new vehicles were registered in the city, two-thirds of them two wheelers.

A revival of cycling in Pune with 130 kilometres (81 mi) of cycle tracks built was attempted as a part of the BRT system under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission in 2004.
However, a 2011 report revealed that only 88 kilometres (55 mi) of tracks were actually built and most were unusable at the time of the report.
Under the Smart Cities Mission, app based cycle sharing schemes have been launched in the city since late 2017.
The PMC has devised the Pune Cycle Plan with 470 kilometres (290 mi) of cycle tracks planned.
Cycles are also seen as a possible way of improving last mile connectivity for the metro system.
