milestone 10,000 km - Cycling to work
In the summer of 2007 I started to regularly cycle to work . Go Meanwhile, I came to terms with not just supportive conditions in the city wins and take the bike unfriendly treatment in department to do something good for me. Today I have another milestone, the 10,000 km mark, "cracked".
A brief summary: In the past 3 years has done to improve the infrastructure for non-motorized transport in wins nothing, absolutely nothing. Ok, there are some more warning signs have been erected to bicycle riders to banish from the city center. The opportunities to make bikes safe to buy then, tend "not available" against. Bicycle tape are also virtually absent. Where they are marked, they may be parked cars under tolerance of Siegen and the local police authority. Marks to secure a road bike trail crossing will not be renewed. The leaders of the city make cycling victories a damn good job. Save money. This money goes into victories rather in other transport properties, rather than creating small incentives for the use of environmentally friendly and healthy means of locomotion. After all, the municipality is currently building Wilnsdorf Rinsdorf between Si-iron and a combined pedestrian / bike path in order to contribute to this section of a safety feature.
Despite rising gasoline prices, Despite the growing awareness of the need to do something for the health, I have the impression that has not increased in the last 3 years of regular bicycle traffic in the region. Bicycles must be in place for when on 4 July 2010 in Siegtal again over 120 km of roads are completely closed to traffic, on this section between the Au source to win up to 100,000 cyclists on the Move.
