The system of bike routes the city has a network of exclusive lanes, with more than 300 miles to traffic. According to the mayor, about 200,000 people move through this system daily.
The advantages of this system are numerous, but here are a few:
Travel time is always the same, regardless of the time. Unlike other means of transportation, bicycle paths are not congested during peak hours.
is an environment-friendly transport: do not consume gasoline.
is a healthy means of transport: you exercise while traveling.
The following are some recommendations of the MINISTRY OF TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION:
- Helmet use is required under Resolution 3600 of 2004 issued by the Ministry of Transport. We recommend the use of this element of protection is always fastened to prevent traffic accidents (91 cyclists died in 2003, converting these users into the second victim of deaths in traffic accidents after pedestrians).
- Porte vest. Is required or the use of reflective bands on from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am
- Where there is no cycle route, transit the right of way at a distance not exceeding one (1) meter from the curb or edge and never use the exclusive lanes for public service group.
- not ride on sidewalks and pedestrian bridges to pass up.
- Keep a moderate speed without creating a hazardous situation for pedestrians.
Additionally it should be noted that although there are many bike paths for pedestrians and motorists do not take into account and accidents happen as the race 11, where people jump on buses without realizing that there is a bike path.
