Incredibile ma vero: a Copenhagen ci sono troppe biciclette!

Non pensavamo di poter mai dire una frase del genere, ma nella città di Copenhagen ci sono troppe biciclette. Abbiamo sempre promosso la diffusione delle due ruote perché è la scelta più ecologica per spostarsi in città, e fa bene alla salute e al pianeta, ma la capitale danese, che probabilmente è la città con più biciclette al mondo, non riesce più a gestirle tanto che ora ha un problema di sicurezza.

Attualmente si calcola che a Copenhagen il 36% degli abitanti (oltre 180 mila persone) utilizzino le bici per recarsi al lavoro o a scuola, e si calcola che questa cifra possa arrivare fino al 50% entro il 2015. Un buon risultato, verrebbe da dire. Ed invece…

Secondo la Federazione Ciclisti Danesi e Wonderful Copenhagen, l’organizzazione turistica ufficiale della Danimarca, i turisti nella città sono letteralmente “spaventati” dal flusso ciclistico nella città, tanto da avere persino paura ad inforcare la bicicletta ed unirsi ad esso.

A Copenaghen abbiamo problemi straordinari a causa della congestione del ciclismo. Non manderei mai i miei figli in bicicletta in giro a Copenaghen, soprattutto nelle ore di punta. E’ troppo pericoloso e spaventoso. Io non rischio

ha dichiarato Aneh Hajdu di Wonderful Copenhagen. E’ troppo pericoloso? Chissà cosa avrebbe detto Hajdu se il traffico fosse stato composto da automobili. Secondo quanto riporta, non è tanto la gente del posto a temere le bici, visto che ormai è abituata, ma sono gli stranieri che finiscono con lo spaventarsi e preferire gli spostamenti in auto. Paradossalmente le piste ciclabili della città, tra le più lunghe d’Europa, stanno strette a questo flusso di cicloamatori, tanto che, specialmente quando c’è più traffico, si rischia spesso di venire spintonati e lo spazio di manovra è molto ridotto. E questo nonostante anche la larghezza delle piste (3-4 metri) sia tra le maggiori al mondo.

Le associazioni dei ciclisti, di contro, portano dati concreti, specialmente quello che mostra come, da quando le biciclette si sono così diffuse, il numero degli incidenti stradali si sia ridotto al minimo storico. D’altra parte però riconoscono che, con l’aumentare delle biciclette, il rischio per i ciclisti c’è, e per questo, anziché ridurne l’uso, chiedono al Governo cittadino di allargare le piste, magari togliendo strada alle inquinantissime automobili. Ah, quanto vorremmo averceli noi questi problemi!

  9. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
