DO PUBLIC ADMINISTRATORS RIDE THEIR BIKE ?

On 28th October 2008 we published the post "public Administrators using bicycle" and invited the Mayor of Turin to ride his bike in order to set a good example.

On March 12 we incredulous read in the Stampa: "Blue bikes instead of blue cars. A way to wip the slate clean both to the Palazzo Civico budget - by now bled dry, and to eliminate some cars from the city center and consequently, to lower pollution. (.) an ecological turning point for Chiamparino’s team movements that imitates in that way the example of smaller and more man-sized cities like Modena or Pordenone. And so, within one month, in the courtyard of Palazzo Civico near a less and less large number of blue cars , there will be the "blue bikes" that will be at disposal of the more virtuosos and sports councillors." ( see: Emanuela Minucci, The town councillors ride the blue bikes, in‘’La Stampa’’of March 12th 2009).

It seems to be a good beginning to improve, to increase and above all to legitimate the Turinese possibility to ride a bike. We are happy for this and we want to complimentate.
.....but be careful , starting from today we hope to meet councilors on their bike, with a notebook to record the so many deficiencies in the cycle net!
We will keep an eye on you!
