Following the "measures fashionable around the bike and then the Green Belt, there goes one more than Hall. Like any good city that boasts green ring comes after the rental bicycle. And I think qeu is a great topic for discussion. The news hang below, first my ideas. There are.
1) sounds good in principle, but I think the measure is much more of form than of substance, and "aesthetic measure" that real impact. I mean, I think that people think the day of the photo to launch the service, and is not intended in a comprehensive design service. And I'm afraid (and I hope I'm wrong) is doomed to failure as experience in other cities with this system is that in a population the size of Guadalajara these systems are expensive to maintain. How will the maintenance and repair of the bike? Here's a question.
2) From what little I know, I have many doubts about the sites chosen: Renfe, bus station and sports. This system as I know, after being caught the bike has to be another place where you can leave. Will they travel by bicycle from the train station to the sports center? Does the bus station of Renfe? I do not see anything clear, the location and I think we need a reflection actual places where it might be interesting to put it, and hopefully I'm wrong again.
3) I think a measure disjointed, facing the gallery thinking "young" (why when it comes to using the bike only think of the young?), And more cosmetic than effective. Again, I mean, put a system in the city bike sounds good, but I think it is to get the cart before the horse.
First we have to lay the foundation, and foundation to go through awareness campaigns powerful drivers, driver education courses and urban cycling (important) for people who are encouraged to use the bike to feel safe, arrangement of small infrastructure and make a program to think about the medium and long term.
A bicycle hire can create curiosity about the bike, but does not guarantee that cyclists have to be aware of traffic rules, their responsibilities as drivers and how to move safely around the city. And that is very important. It is by such actions which trains people to use the bike the right way in the medium and long term.
So far, my thoughts quickly. What do you think?
