Cycling. Riding a bike is a fun, healthy and sustainable way of getting around the city. Using 2 wheels can also save you time and money. More and more Sydneysiders are riding bikes for transport, with a 100% increase over the past 3 years.
Twice as many are riding bikes for transport than the national average, and some 31,600 City of Sydney residents get on a bike in a typical week (2013 Australian Bicycle Council survey). The City is supporting this growth in cycling by building a 200km bike network which includes dedicated bike paths separating riders from traffic and pedestrians. City staff are out and about each week at key locations with information and advice on bike riding in Sydney and our Try2Wheels events offer expert advice on everything from route planning to buying a new bike. The City also offers free Cycling in the City and Bike Maintenance courses held weekly at Sydney Park Cycling Centre.

La bicicleta puede ser una buena forma de hacer ejercicio sin demasiado esfuerzo. Lo confirma esta semana una investigación cuyos datos vuelven a demostrar que, aunque no se le dedique mucho tiempo, practicar habitualmente esta actividad ayuda a controlar el peso. "Al contrario de lo que ocurre con actividades de gimnasio, la bicicleta puede reemplazar el tiempo necesario para llegar en coche a distintas actividades cotidianas.
De esta forma, puede servir como una manera inconsciente de realizar una actividad física ya que muchas veces el objetivo no es hacer ejercicio, sino llegar a un sitio" comentan los autores de este trabajo que publica la revista 'Archives of Internal Medicine'. Durante 16 años, estos investigadores de la Universidad de Harvard (EEUU) realizaron un seguimiento a 18.414 mujeres que, al inicio del estudio, tenían edades comprendidas entre los 25 y los 42 años.
La danza de las bicicletas en Amsterdam / Arriba e la Chancha. Durante la semana pasada visité Holanda y porsupuesto que no me tomó más de un par de horas estar montado sobre una bicicleta recorriendo la ciudad. Amsterdam tiene un montón de energía y sus habitantes son bastante agradables. Después de haber estado casi dos semanas y media en Copenhague, Amsterdam me resultó un caos aparente para pedalear durante las 2 primeras horas. Estaba acostumbrado al sistema danés, donde por lo general se respetan las luces rojas o pistas de viraje. Sin embargo desúés de 120 minutos fue muy simple cambiar el chip para comenzar a pedalear al estilo holandés.
Qué caracteriza el pedaleo en Amsterdam? En primer lugar, si bien existen varias vias segregadas, el centro de la ciudad está completamente dominado por las bicis. En las calles se mezclan muy bien la circulación de autos, tranvías y las bicis. Muy pocos, es más, casi nadie utiliza casco. Finalmente el robo de bicicletas. En conclusión, es una ciudad encantadora, mágica, viva.
Kevin Scott's bike design gets around the theft problem. I'm not sure about UK slang, but in America if I tell you "I'm gonna wrap my bike around a pole" that means I'm gonna crash it. But Kevin Scott, an industrial design student at the UK's De Montfort University, means it in a different way. [image credit: Tony Kyriacou/Rex Features] Scott has designed a bicycle that the user wraps around a pole literally. A ratcheting mechanism transforms two parts of the bike's frame from stiff to bendable, and once wrapped, a single bike lock can be passed through both tires and the frame, which Scott hopes will decrease the bike theft rampant in London and so many other of the world's cities. For his troubles, Scott won Runner-up in the UK's Business Design Centre New Designer of the Year Award. Which does not mean he's done with the bicycle design; he's dumping the award money back into the project for further development. Bikes making tracks on road to greener travel.
Folding bikes touted as eco-friendly and stylish way to commuteNumber of folding bike cyclists and manufacturers has grown in recent yearsPortability is key to success of the bikes as is increasing number of cycle paths in cities (CNN) -- From city suburbs to crowded urban centers, small-wheeled folding bicycles are finding a new credibility. Once dismissed as novelty toys or stash-in-the-trunk conveniences, they now are being seen as a way to get everyone on a bike. Yet when it comes to folders -- as they are known -- the difference between a $350 entry-level model and a $3,500 customized version goes far beyond the price tag.
"Cheap, unreliable and under-satisfying bikes, folding bikes and electric-assist bikes may get people into and out of bicycle commuting quickly," says Peter Reich, inventor and designer of the Swift Folder bicycle. Michael McGettigan owns the Trophy bike shop in Philadelphia and estimates the market for folding bikes as "iPod-sized. "
