World Car Free Day 2007

Next Friday September 28 is celebrated in Chile the "World Day without my car", an initiative that has been doing for a while but every year achieves greater notoriety. The idea is that all citizens of the car we go down that day and use other means of transport to move around, such as public transport, cycling, why not our own feet. The

World Day without a car is also celebrated in many European cities on September 22 so fixed, I imagine that the date change here was to fall on a Friday. In Chile one of its most notorious is the closure for the cars of the Alameda (the previous version was from Plaza Italia and Teatinos) and shall be available 2 tracks for cyclists and generating a huge traffic congestion around (another incentive not riding in a car that day.)

In previous versions some controversy was generated, critics say that does not correspond to discourage car use when you have a good transport system public. That was before the implementation of Transantiago ... imagine now.

Despite the criticism (which some reason they have), it is possible to participate in anyway without getting on a bus or the subway, using non-motorized transportation. Finally not to make the journey to work or study site (which can be quite long for some) but to travel to other activities, which are nearby and perfectly "achievable" in the means of transport .... better than nothing.

Is it dangerous to use bicycle helmets? Reform

Usually the discussion about whether helmet use for cyclists should or does not generate much disagreement between users and "ideologues" of urban cycling. The large Discussion focuses on the usefulness of the helmet to protect riders in case of accident at low speed and at the same time, the limited use of it to protect against accidents at high speeds or when it was struck by a vehicle.

A questionable utility of the hull is very annoying to use it, especially in summer, which could discourage potential riders to change their mode of transport for the bike ... something clearly not desirable.

a long time ago now, a study Bath University, UK, began to clear the film. Ian Walker, a "traffic psychologist", an electronic sensor installed on your bike you possible to measure the distance to vehicles ahead in the two situations, with and without a helmet. The result ?.... passing vehicles on average 8.5 inches closer to the view advanced by the rider wearing a helmet.

The result is surprising, it seems that motorists assume that a cyclist with a helmet will be more "experienced" than one without, then expect to behave more "predictable" in the same and are given leave to move closer to the . This would suggest that cyclists "beginners" should not wear a helmet if they will venture to share the road with other traffic flows. However, it is not recommended that an inexperienced rider out to walk down the street ... and less if it is going to do without a helmet.

What we conclude from this? ... while not educate motorists to respect cyclists to always be dangerous cycling in the city ... with or without a helmet, especially for cyclists should not ride on the sidewalk and bike paths do not reach everywhere. For citizens are encouraged to bike to do this look attractive and safe ... might have to start to implement bike lanes on roadways claims (something that apparently is being done, but poorly organized and methodical way), where users could gain experience and then hit the streets with a minimum of confidence ... and hope you can do with a helmet (because maybe do) without the physical attacks on cars.
