The Portuguese who came to ride my bike to work (with video)
Every Friday, the Mubi (Association for urban mobility in bicycle) organizes the sixth cycle, an event that promotes the use of bike journeys per day. On the way home from work, for example, but also leisure exits, whatever the route, day or night.It was through this initiative that Ana Santos, a university lecturer, began using the bike in their daily movements between Cascais, where she lives, and the Broken Cross, where he teaches at Faculdade de Motricidade Humana.Ana pedal from one side to the other of Cascais, to the train station. Get off at Cruz Quebrada station, where climbs toward the University.At the beginning, Ana had all the fears of a novice cyclist, especially the cars. "After two or three days I began to realize it was great: the course was excellent, couldn't stop anywhere he wanted, for taking photos, and I went shopping in the traditional trade," explained Ana Santos to the green economy.The University teacher liked it so much the experience which was pedalling every day. And out of bike lanes â€" only the uses when riding for leisure.According to Mário Alves, Mubi, the case of Ana is just one of many that the Association has to present. But, for the numbers being expressive, it is necessary to change urban planning. "In urban areas have to start managing much better cars and the entry of cars. Enters about half a million cars a day in Lisbon. This is unacceptable. We must also reduce the speed of these cars, "said the green economy.The sixth bike already has 1,000 enrolled at the site and three thousand on Facebook. And the reader, have the courage and willingness to start doing it? See the episode 148 of the green economy.Foto:  pedrosimoes7 / Creative Commons
