Paul lion urban cyclist Madrid teammate and hard worker in the newspaper The country, me posted on your blog (http://blogs.elpais.com/love-bicis) an interview where I made a preguntillas on Sevilla:). Although I must admit that the word sexy is not mine, I found it funny lol. It should chicha to write there, and no doubt Paul, you have. Thanks.
I copy and paste:
Emblem of the pedals. In Seville it has become in the last four years. Since 2007, when the City launched the Bicycle Master Plan, has gone from zero to over 120 kilometers of bike lanes while the rental service, Sevici , has reached 80,000 users. The change has been so impressive is the English city where he made more trips by bicycle per day (6.6%). Juan Manuel Ureña, 23, a student of biology, member of the board of the assembly of Seville cyclists and ACONTRAMANO blogger, always moving bike. Is preparing to Velo-City, the congress of the world's largest bike and this year takes place in the Andalusian capital of 23 to 25 March. Ladies, young alternative or use sevillitas weigh it every day to go to the Giralda, the market or a stroll in the park of the Guadalquivir. Quite an achievement in a car living in capital and now a trendsetter in the pedals.
I ♥ Bikes. Who Sevilla pedals? 
Juan Manuel Ureña. few years ago, half of the population had a bike. Since 2007, when he began to build the network of lanes, that number has increased exponentially. Right now absolutely everyone on bike. Some in his own and others use the public service. Are used for everything and no differences by age, sex, educational, economic, employment or marital status. Sevilla now involves cycling.
I ♥ B. How can you get a bike in Seville? JMU
There are many rental shops and sale throughout the city. Another option is to subscribe to Sevici [the service has more than 2,500 bikes at some 250 stations] or use Busbici, an option that allows residents of the metropolitan area to use a bike, have a fleet of 200, 24 hours free with the ticket bus.
I ♥ B. Let he who is without a bike is not willing ... JMU
No doubt. In one day you can cross a hundred cyclists. It's awesome.
I ♥ B. What has changed so much in so little time? JMU
Basically the political momentum. The City, ruled by PSOE IU, has made a series of measures to which the population is responding. The new mobility model has been quickly accepted. There were protests at the beginning, spurred by the Popular Party, but now the bike path is one of the best interventions valued by Seville.
I ♥ B. What is most impressive that you've lived your bike? JMU
The ganciclovir A temporary traffic closure or, rather, the opening of streets and traffic release one Sunday a month. Is a global initiative in Seville have organized three have shown that the less traffic there, the bikes are a more efficient use of public space.
I ♥ B. He puts in the Andalusian capital bic ... JMU
More than ever! As I say, everybody go biking and each person customizes yours your way. There are a variety of bicycles, models and styles. I am fascinated. I with my camera and do not stop taking photos. Then I go to Seville Cycle Chic [Cycle Chic, departing from Copenhagen, is a blog network that combines fashion bike and that has spread to a dozen cities around the world.]
I ♥ B. And what is the model that is?
Before JMU was the mountain. Now the ride and urban areas, more and more.
I ♥ B. Where ever you would not go by bike? JMU
I have not made does not go anywhere bike. Who does not use it is because he wants but you have to differentiate the needs of each. Sometimes I use the car to transport things or people but little or very little happens. I think most of the population could do the same. Fortunately, it happens all the time.
I ♥ B. Do you link from the bike? JMU
I do not notice. Hahaha. The truth is that when pedaling I feel good, I'm happy and contented. In addition, the bicycle is also a complemeno, like clothing. The truth is that I am very elegant and sexy when I take my Orbea in the 60's. I have several bikes, that I reserve for special occasions.
I ♥ B. What is the best in town for the bike? JMU
The recent network of cycle paths and pedestrian walkways. Sevilla has changed a lot in a short time and, more importantly, people also. We are not so resistant to change as many thought from Seville. When the change is better, people notice it and accept it.
I ♥ B. And what's wrong? JMU
No doubt connecting to the metropolitan area. The center of the city is losing population for decades, but people still living here ever further, and increasingly using the car. The construction of highways around the city does not help and less when leaving aside the connections cyclists for not being a priority for politicians. La Junta de Andalucía, which has such powers, should organize the network of bike lanes on a metropolitan scale thinking. I live about 8 km from Sevilla, takes 25 minutes by bike to the city, almost the same as in the car with jam and parking. But I have a problem: I can not walk or bike out of my people without risk my life and so I am forced to use the car. Most of my neighbors do, too. In the city, however, there are many people who made daily trips over 15 miles through the network of bicycle lanes.
