A Dubai-based cyclist was left awestruck when a bulge on Al Qudra cycling track was fixed in just 12 hours after he reported it to the police.

The complaint was initially received when authorities monitoring the area with a drone asked the cyclist if he had anything to report about the track, at around 9:30 am on Tuesday.

With nothing major coming to mind, the resident casually mentioned a bulge visible on the road. He then continued on his way to Abu Dhabi, and during his return, he was amazed to see a man in protective gear at the cycling track.

When the cyclist inquired about the construction, the man explained it was to repair the bulge that had been reported. The cyclist soon learned that the team responsible for the repair was Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

The Dubai resident expressed how efficient the communication was between Dubai Police, RTA, and the construction company, who collaborated to fix the issue within 12 hours of it being reported.

“Only in Dubai, they can react so quickly,” he said in a video shared on his social media. The resident also thanked the authorities for making the track much safer and expressed gratitude on behalf of the cycling community.

The Dubai-based cyclist, who has 10,000 followers, creates content about his biking experiences and often highlights authorities’ efforts to keep riders safe.
