Quelimane, Mozambique might not be the first city that comes to an American's mind when she thinks of an active transportation paradise. With 40 percent of trips taken on foot and 35 percent in the saddle, though, the east African city has already been ranked as the most walkable city on Earth — and now, it's setting its sights on becoming an international model for how to support people who walk and roll through visionary leadership and policy.

This week on The Brake, we continue our dispatches from Bloomberg Citylab with an inteview with Quelimane's mayor Manuel de Araújo. In his 13 years in office, de Araújo's made it his mission to elevate the social status of his city's cyclists and use the bike as a tool for social change, even building the country's first cycle lanes the help of a $400,000 grant from the Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure.
