GOVERNMENT IN CRITICAL MASS BIKE

Local politicians should set an example for future mobility

But luck Mr. Mayor! She is one of the few Turin that can go to work by bicycle along bike paths alone! She knows, I'll definitely have told the commissioner for traffic, the majority of citizens use bicycles as means of transport to travel to the workplace, are not lucky enough to meet even a bit of cycling and daily risk life on the streets of Turin. And she, living in Piazza Vittorio, may instead take the new bike lanes in the center to reach the Town Hall! Yes, yes, the kind that someone does not know with what foresight, want to close, plus support from the local newspaper (see : Emanuela Minucci, Grane cycle, in << The Press>> Sunday, October 19, 2008).
Obviously spare bike path are not connected to each other and then suddenly you find in the street, perhaps in a tangle of tram tracks, but definitely find a way to make do, as indeed it is taken for granted cyclists do in Turin. Perhaps it should also make sure the crossings, because nobody will give priority, will also suffer the "Rasetti" of cars that will be nearly dramatically. When you encounter the inevitable car parked on bike path, will bravely go on the road in danger of being run over by motorists often do not understand why, with hostile cyclist. Alternatively, you can get on the sidewalk, but then you will need to pay attention to traffic wardens who will choose to give her a fine rather than the car parked on bike path.
Well, of course, everything is a bit 'dangerous and stressful, but would want to put as an example? She, like everyone who wants Turin ecological and sustainable future! Perhaps you could infect other local administrators to use an alternate means to go to work. It 'possible that you too if you started to risk their lives on cycle paths maybe you would think to design in a somewhat 'more sensible to make them safe, to connect them with each other and to enforce them.

We wish you a nice ride, offering them a last tip, remember to wear a helmet, we would never read an article in La Stampa: << mayor dies on cycle paths>>!

Love,
