I know, the question to be answered is this: why biking the streets of Naples? If you then want to use the bike as transportation to and from work every day, people look at you with a look of astonishment and admiration, "this has been drinking the brain." I use the bike in Naples since I was in high school (now I have over forty), and have never managed to take off my "vice".
The roads suck, the people are undisciplined and smog poisons you ....
So what's the fun?
Well, it's fun riding a bike ... all. The bike is half simply brilliant. E 'means of transport without motor fastest on earth.
From little I remember trying to imitate his bike motorcycle by placing a spring with a card in the spokes that was a fart-like motor scooters. Today I realize that I behave in the worst traffic of scooters darting in front of me. The taste is that you can be in traffic on an equal footing with cars, buses and motorbikes, in fact be much more "penetrating them." With a bike you can travel by road at 30km / h but also at a walking pace, you can cross walking paths (without breaking the balls to pedestrians) and limited traffic areas.
Come in more detail: to go to work I do a little more than 10km with a vertical drop of about 60m which are for the first leg. 33min 36min and use the return leg. The funny thing is that the bike is pretty darn accurate, it is hard to find obstacles that make you increase the time and it is equally difficult to decrease the time.
are faster than the bus company, use the same time it takes by car (without traffic and taking the highway), it takes me half the time of public transport.
The road is really a sewer and I have to deal with carrying a super bike cushioned seat with gel and huge wheels. The cost is reasonable: 300 € more than a hundred euro accessories (helmet, shorts, shirt, sunglasses, luggage rack, spare tube, small tools and bag). I started in June 2009 to September 2009 I am a broken elbow in a fall stupid (the only!), In 2010 I estimated that he traveled about 1500km (default). A very small thing, but there are positive effects that I had not reckoned: the bacon from forty ccettabile is now, if I do a race to catch a train I'm not in trouble, if reasonably think biking to save about € 1 each 10km then in three or four years I am paid off the bike, the pollen allergies when I go by bike is under control.
Finally, and despite all bikes in the streets of Naples I go there and enjoy myself as well!
PS I am not alone ;-)
