In this paper, we focused on the utilization of bicycle as transport facility, to resolve the social and environmental problem in Ulaanbaatar city, Mongolia. Bicycle is recognized as environmentally-friendly transportation in many countries, but the transportation policy of Ulaanbaatar does not include the utilization of bicycle. Whereas, Ulaanbaatar has the valuable history of bicycle, most of young people don’t know that history, and perceive bicycle as “toy of children” or “awkward”. In order to encourage the utilization of bicycle, it is important to clarify the history of urban transport and cycling, in contrast with urban development of Ulaanbaatar city.
