Definition Sgcc Steel
Security + = Previously want to bike
If you drive a car (out of necessity, not for sport or entertainment in itself) wants nothing more than going to his destination as quickly and easily and safely as possible. So like wide streets and straight, preferably with priority over other, ampie possibilità di parcheggio vicino alla sua destinazione, e la sistemazione di tutti quei punti del percorso che sono ritenuti pericolosi.
Pensate a chi si reca in periferia presso un grande ipermercato: percorre grandi viali spesso a più corsie, attraversa agevolmente incroci dotati di rotonde, e approda in un vastissimo parcheggio proprio di fronte all'ingresso dell'ipermercato.
Oppure pensate a chi va da una città ad un'altra: si infila in autostrada, va dritto filato senza mai doversi fermare per dare precedenza ad altri, e viaggia in una corsia separata e protetta sia da quelli che viaggiano in senso opposto che dal resto del traffico delle zone che attraversa, con grande beneficio per la sicurezza.
Tutto this is very fair, and it is very reasonable that with increasing traffic have created this infrastructure and these facilities for those who drive a car. This attention to security and above elements are certainly important to ensure that car use is safe and fast, and therefore both desirable and pleasant as well as useful.
and why the urban cyclists should not have the same desires of motorists?
Use your bike instead of the car in the city offers many advantages on which so much has been said, benefits both for cyclists and for the rest of the people living and moving in the city, including motorists themselves.
But to implement these benefits should encourage more people to use the bicycle in the city instead of the car. It should, in a word, making the use of bicycles "desirable."
So here is that the same attention and priority to safety, which until now have been addressed only to the car, should begin to be addressed also for bicycles.
Security and above mean that the use of bicycles is desirable.
security is implemented in exactly the same way with the car: paths separated from traffic, protected adequately, without spots in which there are elements of danger.
Try to imagine living in a neighborhood edge of your city and imagine that your 6 year old son should attend a school in the center. How should the bike paths so that he could go to school by bicycle? Imagine the route on roads that you know, in your imagination designed every single meter of the trail, think about where you would spend the path, what would you do the large, what kind of protection and separation would like the rest of the traffic, how would you address the question of crossings or try to prevent the cycle path has to intersect with the flow of cars.
Because when it comes to safety of bicycle paths should be taken as a unit of the need of children, and even the elderly. If it is safe for them then it will be for everyone. But earlier in the
bike is even more important that car. If you drive I have to stop at a stop and then restart I lose a bit 'of time, but everything ends there. But if I have to stop cycling as well as losing time cost me too hard. In fact, sharing is hard, and travel at high speeds is much less. The constant stops and starts are very strenuous cycling. That's why bike lanes should be designed to have as much as possible takes precedence over all other traffic to be cleared away, to be straight, sliding, without requiring continuous zig zag to slow down and then back up to speed in the struggle.
And then a bike path straight, fast, smooth, without too many points to stop, can be fast, you can reach quickly and effortlessly to your destination, and this is fundamental to ensure that the bicycle is a means of transport citizens want.
Certainly the city, and therefore our cities have been developed without taking into account the needs of cyclists, and is now demanding change. But the advantages are many and it would cause to justify and even require courageous decisions by government.
were earlier demolished homes, sacrificed gardens and green areas, there has been expropriated, all to make room for the traffico automobilistico.
Oggi non si chiede di fare altrettanto, per le biciclette basta molto meno, le biciclette sono molto meno invasive, sono meno ingombranti. Oggi basta avere il coraggio di sacrificare qualche seconda corsia, di rinunciare a qualche striscia di parcheggi a lato strada, di ridurre un po' la larghezza di strada dedicata alle auto. Oggi si tratta di "dare la precedenza" alle biciclette ogni volta che si mette mano ad un intervento stradale.
Guardate cosa hanno fatto in Olanda, in Danimarca, in Germania, dove a partire dalla fine degli anni '70 hanno dato precedenza e sicurezza all'uso della bici in città. Sicuramente anche da loro all'inizio avranno avuto resistenze e proteste da parte di chi vede nell'automobile l'unico possibile mezzo di trasporto, ma ora si vedono i risultati e credo non servano commenti per sottolineare il grande successo di una tale politica.
L'importante è fare le cose bene, tenendo conto delle esigenze dei ciclisti: sicurezza e precedenza. Una pista ciclabile fatta male è controproducente. Guardiamo il caso del tratto di ciclabile in fondo a via Torino, ad Ivrea. La pista ciclabile è lunga 900 metri, dall'incrocio con Canton Carasso fino alla Chiesa di San Bernardo, e viaggia sopra al marciapiede. In quei soli 900 metri ci sono ben 23 attraversamenti, cioè 23 punti in cui la pista scende a livello della strada e obbliga le bici a dare precedenza agli accessi laterali, spesso costringendo ad un vero e proprio stop a causa of poor visibility such access. As many as 23 points in danger of slowing down and just 900 meters, on average one every 40 meters!
What sense does it make a thing like that? Who designed it really was hoping that would be used with pleasure? Why would a cyclist should latch 23, 23 stop, 23 intersections, and share the path with pedestrians (actually a few), when traveling one meter from the side, namely in the street, the flat route, priority and greater safety compared with side access?
latter just wants to be an example of how not to do, takes only serve to reinforce the concept that the great benefits that come from the most utilizzo della bicicletta in città vanno perseguiti dando ai ciclisti ciò di cui hanno realmente bisogno: sicurezza e precedenza.
Ci sono tanti ciclisti in città che rimangono nascosti e non circolano molto solo perchè gli mancano sicurezza e precedenza. E lo dimostrano quando invece, forti della sicurezza e della precedenza che si riescono ad ottenere anche in mezzo alla strada quando si è in tanti, in gruppo, escono l'ultimo venerdì del mese per il giro di Massa Critica, come avverrà

Moving To A New Salon Letter To Clients
Chronicle of a twinning
È una splendida sensazione venire accolti con tanto entusiasmo!
Ma andiamo per ordine e incominciamo dal principio: è il 6 giugno, domenica mattina, il cielo è coperto, l'aria fresca, e noi pedaliamo da casa verso la stazione di Ivrea, punto di partenza per andare a Torino a manifestare l'orgoglio della bicicletta, il Bike Pride. Per molti andare fino a Torino in bici è un viaggio ritenuto improponibile, e poi anche il cielo grigio contrubuisce a fare da deterrente, perciò questa mattina a tentare l'impresa ci aspettiamo di essere in tre o quattro, no more. And in fact we are in the station three. Oh well, patience, maybe before going to wait a few minutes ...
And those few more minutes of waiting are not in vain, because a little later here comes another, and then more! In the end, despite the sky come from a very few drops of rain, the group that starts without hesitation at a time in Turin is composed of as many as 12 cyclists, of which 7 of the category "not exactly young, male, 3 representatives of the fairer sex, and 2 kids that promise very well for a better future with fewer cars and more bikes.
With the exception of the climb che passando per Bessolo e Villate sale fin quasi a Montalenghe, tutto il resto del percorso è stato in leggere discesa o pianeggiante come previsto, e l'aria fresca ha permesso di pedalare senza particolare sforzo.
Ad un certo punto, uscendo da Volpiano, abbiamo fatto una lunga pausa per riposarci e prenderci un caffè in un bar. A fianco di questo bar c'era un centro sportivo nel quale era in atto una giornata promozionale. Quindi all'esterno c'era musica, dei tavolini con materiale pubblicitario, movimento. Ed è qui che siamo stati invitati a visitare l'interno del locale, dove era in atto una lezione dimostrativa di spinning. Abbiamo sicuramente apprezzato la simpatia e la cordialità dell'invito, ma osservando lo spinning there remained the idea that it is even better a healthy bike ride to the countryside rather than the exercise forced indoors to a gym to the beat of pulsating music. Moreover, in the meantime had also released a bright sun, which then accompanied us for the rest of the day.
The arrival on the outskirts of Turin has been celebrated with the obligatory group photo in front of the sign, where we also decided to do that route in the city to reach the Parco del Valentino . We opted for the crossing of the center, taking advantage of the full closure to motorized traffic. So
down Corso Giulio Cesare Corso Palermo and then through the Royal Gardens and emerge in Piazza Castello. Not only the recommendations were not enough to pay maximum attention to the tram tracks, and so the first fall, fortunately without consequences, but would also have to recommend someone to pay attention to the fountains of Piazza Castello. Yes, you guessed it right there, there was another fall! A spring between the jets of the fountain! And the kids were not mica, which is thought to always be dissolute; two were "otherwise young people to engage in this original character!
pedalante Finally, our group then arrived at the Park Valentino, it was about 12:30 and there was obviously still a lot of movement. But then as we looked around we were greeted by a girl's smile Bike Pride organization that has cheered for our arrival! In complimented us for being there told us they knew we would have participated and who were eager to see us coming. He then indicated the location within the park where other riders were having a picnic.
And after this first get festive welcome here's another, less welcome, the lawns of the picnic by the children of Critical Mass Turin. A great group of smart people, who without giving us time to get off the bike already offered us cold beer, warm, and the invitation to sit down to dinner with them.
It was a real twin, complete with a gift exchange (our wine and their beer), but especially with the story of their experiences, reciprocal actions, and since now imagine you can participate at least once in each of the other cities, to the group, to increase the mass.
But there's more, because it came shortly after a group of Modena. Yes, you read that right: da Modena! Of course they did the whole journey by bike, have come almost to Turin by car and then did so only in the last part bike, but it is great desire they had to participate, so that he face such a transfer. And with them at the party joined the Lambrusco, which mica can say no!
So fatigue, combined with increasing alcohol content, has fueled much relaxation in the shade of large trees.
Meanwhile people began to arrive by bike, you start to feel some excitement, started the preparations. A nice initiative, promoted by a Ciclofficina, was distributed to all a small card and a clothes peg with which Gripper ranges, as was done by children, to make noise on the spokes of the wheel! Imagine as many bikes roaring hum all together!
And finally, here comes the magic moment: all ready to go. Far beyond the expectations of the organizers, several thousand gathered in the bike path behind the Castello del Valentino prancing forward to invade the city streets. And then, go! Finally he goes, the large group is carried out in a very long snake, slowly begins to walk the streets, through Piazza Vittorio, slips through the streets of downtown.
We are many, many, the parade never seems to end, you advance a bit ', then we stops, then starts again, bells are ringing, singing cyclists, passers-by who see amazing, you go to zig zag between the buildings, and then lead to Piazza San Carlo, Rome and along the central street finally arrive in Piazza Castello.
And all the joy and satisfaction of having participated in exchanging email addresses and commitments to resent, to organize, to make contacts for the future, we will run away even a few comments on the anger of the deplorable inevitable that the few motorists were nervous at having to give way to the parade, which could not refrain from playing the horn insistently still waiting at an intersection. Non è bastata la presenza di alcune migliaia di biciclette, non sono riusciti a capire, nemmeno così...
A questo punto il nostro gruppo, come previsto, si è sciolto per affrontare il ritorno con tempi e modalità differenti: alcuni sono subito andati a prendere il treno, altri hanno ancora fatto un giro per Torino e sono andati in stazione più tardi, e un piccolissimo gruppetto di irriducibili, tra cui noi con il tandem, hanno ripreso a pedalare puntando il manubrio verso Ivrea.
La nostra pedalata di ritorno è stata suddivisa in due parti: la prima con un gran sole e un gran caldo, poi una pausa a Foglizzo per una birra fresca ai tavolini di un bar sotto gli alberi, e infine una seconda parte di pedalata fast to escape the storm that chased us. Every now and then two drops of water, and us by even faster, and so we managed to get dry until the first houses of Ivrea, now in anticipation of the arrival, when he finally began to rain. But now we had arrived, and we said goodbye in the rain and gathering for next time.
The comment of all is that it was a great day!

Additional information for trip to Turin
As some have asked various practical information about the ride that Sunday we will do in turin, in addition to the written page http://massacriticaivrea.blogspot.com/2010/05/lorgoglio bicicletta.html -the-add, in no particular order:
- have lunch, picnics in turin looking for a comfortable place, probably the Valentino gardens or in some other public garden. Then you need to bring sandwiches, fruit, chocolate, thermos with coffee, bottle of wine and everything you want.
- if, as of course speriamo, ci sarà un bel sole, pedalando avremo caldo, perciò si consiglia un abbigliamento a strati, in modo da poter ridurre fino alla sola maglietta, della quale può essere utile avere un ricambio all'arrivo.
- non dimentichiamo di portarci dell'acqua da bere.
- io metterò il casco, più che altro per pararmi la capoccia dal sole (non ho difese naturali, io!), ma ciascuno è libero di fare come preferisce.
- se, invece, sarà così bello ma così bello da fare temporale, allora conviene avere con sè una mantellina, giusto per evitare di bagnarsi troppo nel tentativo di raggiungere un posto riparato dove aspettare che smetta.
- l'andatura sarà quiet, and who claims to be the slower will be invited to put the lead to give the rhythm to the other. It is a journey, not a race, and we enjoy ourselves and have fun. But if someone wants to go faster will be free to move forward, rather then waiting for us down the road.
- certainly on the way we stop for a little break, maybe to eat something. I am a bit 'of fruit mid-morning eat it willingly.
- someone also suggested to bring something flashy for the event: flags or similar things. We stick to the tandem cart, so we have to load any place to take things down, but have pity: none roba pesante!
- avere la bici in ordine è ovviamente una buona idea! portarsi una camera d'aria di scorta lo è altrettanto. Noi porteremo i necessari attrezzi per smontare la gomma e sostituire la camera d'aria. È un evento raro, però costa poco essere previdenti.
- per il ritorno: noi con tandem e carrello abbiamo in genere delle difficoltà a prendere il treno, perciò torneremo pedalando. Quindi chi vuole unirsi è ben accetto, così ci si fa compagnia anche al ritorno. Per chi invece prenderà il treno ricordo che basta andare in stazione, fare il biglietto per sè e il supplemento per la bici, che costa 3 euro e 50 centesimi e vale 24 ore dal momento della timbratura, e salire sul treno the door where there is the logo of the bike, usually in the head or rear of the train, where you will find a space to accommodate the bike, usually hanging vertically against the wall. Going down to Ivrea not forget your bike on the train!
- I think that the day deserves some photos, so bring your camera if you have one.
- the path we will follow is the information on the aforementioned blog page, clicking on the map go to Google Maps page where you can zoom in and see details.
- other? Dunno, I do not know. It is a journey, not a journey to Mars, then, the normal habits that everyone has when making a trip, nothing more. If you can think of something else report it below in the comments.
this trip is open to all, each person is responsible for himself, there is no registration to do, just enter the start. So I'll see you Sunday morning at the station on time at 8:30 of Ivrea. hello!

this trip is open to all, each person is responsible for himself, there is no registration to do, just enter the start. So I'll see you Sunday morning at the station on time at 8:30 of Ivrea. hello!
