E 'center of the bike path Lodi, one of the most used and traveled daily by many hundreds of cyclists. Now is interrupted, ie the path is made more circuitous and dangerous. The construction of the renovation works to the gardens closed half of the cycle, cyclists are obliged, after passage of a chute - iron footbridge, a crossing, to walk on a sidewalk 2 feet wide along with pedestrians, then back across the street.
The solution - improvised - for bikes is found insufficient, and we repeat, dangerous. E 'unnatural, complicated, and so many cyclists ignore it, along with the stretch in the wrong grave danger to their safety.
You might find a space for bicycles in the roadway, sufficiently separate from the vehicle, a space that guarantees the continuity of the axis path-Bassett Mazzini.
Overall, one can not say that what has been done is punishment for those who choose to move by bike.
Ciclodi-FIAB asks that the needs the site of the work to the gardens, do not jeopardize the safety of cyclists.
Ciclodi-FIAB also asks all cyclists Lodi to pay close attention and asking the City Council a clear plan to ensure real safety for cyclists throughout the operation of the yard, which could last more than a year.
Only minutes away from 18 on Thursday at 18.10 'have passed a dozen bikes in the direction of Piazza gold medals. More than half have crossed the line against traffic.
Where is the sign? Who's going to
Square Gold Medal and arrive at the beginning of the cycle track, coming from the intersection with Via Dante, often take the road against traffic. Why? Wrong question. The right question is: why should not he? Maybe years ago that perecorso, out of habit knows that he must go to them '. Where he is said to have an alternative? There is a sign that marks the beginning of a bicycle on the sidewalk. But it is not easy. No?
What can I say?
Ciclodi-tale is opposed to the indiscriminate use of sidewalks for bicycles. Sidewalks are for people, not for the bike: run - walking, not running - wheels.
Ciclodi-FIAB admits this solution only in exceptional cases and if there are alternatives.
Here there would be alternatives. The road is wide. And the road is all.
CHEERS!
yesterday (03/20/2008) we had reported the catwalk periolosità
But do not we deserve something more?
Today was a fact slide!
Come on now miss the cycle lane prootetta from New Jersey: the space is on the way we are all
And maybe you could give a place of space for cyclists here too ....
After There are also examples of Lodi things done, and done well, and when they are done well they work, the ciclcisti the award and thanked the use, for example this is the recently implemented by the Department Sustainable Mobility parking in Via Trento Trieste.
