CRITICAL MAP TORINO

Critical Map is a project of "participated cyclocartography" constituted by a common platform that allows bicyclists to signal through an interactive map which are the cycle problems of the Italian cities.
The Critical Map in Turin with signallings of new cycle runs, with suggestions of best runs to drive across, zones to be avoided, runs with problems or with works in progress, signals of fountains where to quench one’s thirsty , bicycles sellers and repairers, free wifi...places, is very used by the city bicyclists. Anyway there are both complaints and protests and good news (obviously rare), besides curiosity and posters for a cycle culture. In short all the useful and precious information for the survival on two wheels in the city.
"It is a means to promote an idea of sustainable mobility centered on the bicycle giving a representation of the ideal city, of how it should be to meet our demands of mobility."
