Until now, Moscow is certainly not a capital of cyclists. The newspaper Nowy Izweztija credited to their readers now before that attributable to a resident of the metropolis, a quarter of a millimeter bicycle - with a total length of 2.5 kilometers. That the appropriate value for the Finnish capital Helsinki is then up to one meter. And again, the newspaper writes of bicycle parking in Amsterdam, would provide the space for 20,000 cycles - during this Konezpt in Moscow was still a novelty.
This may change now, anyway, if the will of the Russian cycling federation goes. This advertises for switching to the bike that a bike rider in need of traffic jam clogged the streets of Moscow for five kilometers only 16 minutes, a car driver, however 44th In addition, cycling is healthier. Another argument could, however, in times of economic crisis, Russia is particularly hard, as proved even more effective: the cost factor. The average cost for the use of a bicycle club in the estimated $ 25 per month and $ 150 for a car.
one prejudice would like to clean up the bike activists: that the Russian air just nicht geeignet zum Fahrradfahren wäre, sei ein Mythos. Wen dies noch nicht überzeugt, der kann im Internet zunächst in einem russischen Fahrradmagazin unter dem Titel pro Velo stöbern.
