It is a very healthy way to go to work etc. Providing there are Cycle Lanes to facilitate Cycling. Imagine a major reduction of Vehicle Traffic on the Via Centura . Imagine the reduction of exhaust pollution. I wholly support the use of all Bicycles.
Fantastic idea ... However let's get it safe for the cyclists first, just like the cycle path network in Holland. This country puts Spain to shame where cycling is concerned!
This would be a change:Dutch bikers to work can soon receive contributions from the state. It is one of several proposals put on the table when the Dutch government switches its cycle betting."Let's get out of our cars and on our bikes," says Deputy Minister for Infrastructure Stientje van Veldhoven, whose goal is for another 200,000 people to start cycling.The government will discuss different initiatives with "large-scale employers and small and medium-sized enterprises". One suggestion is that cyclists will get 19 eurocents per kilometer they cycle to and from work. You also consider tax deductions on bicycle purchases.In the Netherlands, the average citizen travels less than 7.5 kilometers to and from work.
