L'obiettivo di qualsiasi piano per la mobilità è quello di muoversi nel migliore dei modi possibili in uno spazio che offra la migliore qualità di vita e la maggiore sicurezza possibile, a tutte le persone, a partire dai bambini e dagli anziani.
La Federazione Italiana Amici della Bicicletta, della quale noi facciamo parte, pensa che, tra tutte le propulsioni esistenti od immaginabili, nessuna delle quali può essere esclusa da un piano per la mobilità, la propulsione a pedali sia quella che assicuri i migliori risultati con i minori costi. Un piano di mobilità senza un buon piano per le biciclette è come una minestra senza il sale: pur aggiungendo gli ingredienti più raffinati e magari tecnologicamente “avanzati”, non potrà mai essere una buona minestra.
Noi di Fiab Livorno pensiamo che la nostra amministrazione comunale abbia cominciato a cucinare meglio. La nascita di nuove e ben fatte ciclabili, la puntuale applicazione della Legge 336/98 che prevede che ogni nuova strada sia sempre affiancata da una ciclabile, ed i progetti in corso, ultimo quello sul bike sharing, fanno ben sperare. Quello che condividiamo è soprattutto il fatto che un buon piano per la mobilità non debba essere un compromesso tra propulsioni diverse, il risultato di una contrattazione tra il partito degli automobilisti, quello dei pedoni, quello dei ciclisti, dei centauri e dei mezzi pubblici, bensì la strategia, le opere ed i programmi necessari per spostarsi bene in un ambiente sano, bello, che consenta interazioni sociali, efficace per tutte le categorie di utenti e propulsivo per le attività commerciali, economiche e professionali.
Una amministrazione pubblica, to achieve this goal, much can be done but not all. Part of the result depends on us.
To clarify what I mean it should be noted the size of the city of Livorno. Dia de Buontalenti historic Pentagon: 800 m. Distance-edge media center 2 km Orography: flat with the exception of the area of \u200b\u200bMontenero. Climate: temperate with annual mean temperature equal to 15.5 °.
I put aside the temptation of a pedant but effective comparison with the characteristics of other cities and I suffered some considerations which, though trivial, are as important as forgotten.
The average speed for a human being who are walking on level ground, even with a load on the shoulders of a few kilograms, is equal to 5 km / h, in the case of a child, elderly or of those who, in general, is fairly fit, this speed drops to 3 km / h. If the same human being, mounted on a bike becomes the average speed of 15 km / h while the minimum is unlikely to drop below 10. (To understand the difference with sports cyclists, not professionals, we must think that their average speed on level ground is equal to 40km / h) . This means that two kilometers above are covered by the pedestrian and cyclist respectively in 24 and 8 minutes (which become more than 15 if we ride, for example, a compass octogenarian). To cross our Great Central Street (800 m corresponding to the diameter of our center) takes a pawn and then 10 minutes (you will be many who have experienced it) that are also the ones who need to cross the huge bus with a loud crash, stopping also three times (the distance between stops is 200m c.ca!). But this was not a city of dynamic athletes who love the outdoors? Of invincible athletes for whom the number of gyms is never enough? Walking and cycling are two activities as simple as it was extraordinarily healthy and fun for everyone, especially those no longer young and has some ailment.
not neghiamoci this opportunity to move so effectively: healthy, cheap, fun, relazionante, convenient and fast. When we park a car or choose the bus, remember that 1 km walk is always within our reach, even when we have a shopping or luggage with us (we can help, for example, with efficient trolley bags or soft bags). Not neghiamoci Finally, the fun of getting on a bike to move even faster and with greater chance load. Soon the council will give us a new opportunity to experience the bike in the city: BIKE SHARING, or the ability to hire, with a prepaid card, we can then leave a bicycle in any of the sampling points and parking provided. It 's a system that has proven to work in as many cities do not succeed, however, in as many. If well designed can be a valuable ingredient for the improvement of urban mobility. When it opened And let the opportunity to mount on these bikes, to run errands or just for pleasure, mount, and take back our time and our city. No one comes to mind, however, the curious paradox which states that "cycling is dangerous because there are too many cars." The number of cars circulating in the city will never diminish as long as does not begin to walk and cycle.
