Myths and legends of cycling and bike

All of us, to a greater or lesser extent, we had to do with this mysterious instrument for the transportation of persons and property: the bicycle .
It has the distinction of putting a strain on one of the cardinal principles of our biology, the result of about 4 and a half million years of evolution, from ' Orrorin to' Homo Sapiens Sapiens :

bipedalism. The invention derived from patent Karl Drais

asks us all to become a bit 'tightrope putting ourselves on only two wheels placed in line, before the other, asking us to move forward through the work of our legs, transforming us from bipeds to bicyclic ... Italy is full of people going by bicycle, many of us have had this object in the house and have used it to move, perhaps to school or going there to meet friends in the streets even though we were great then to worship the utilitarian look and built cars, SUVs and superberline with the desire to a ride, but happy to spend 60 € for a full and let us take a mesata abundant.

Just at this stage of life we \u200b\u200bfound that the world there are two kinds of cyclists : those of us who use the bicicleta for what it is, a means of transport and Other
, those who leave ' car at home and play at Pantani the weekend ( but often also in all the other days of the week ): cyclists "sport" or "Sunday". Today is Friday, but, alas, is also the
March 19, St. Joseph
Day, Father's Day and, above all, the Patron Saint of Santa Marinella
, my hometown. For me it is a working day like any other, for some it is the day to put on a ridiculously tight jumpsuit with fake sponsors, aerodynamic helmet, goggles mirrored band out of fashion, and get on the super-bicicleta fiber cost a fortune to go to stroll with friends to play at the sport, throwing in 4 or 5 in traffic on Friday, further complicated by the stalls and the upheaval of construction workers to 13.00, which make their way to the coveted lunch. The quartet of likeable ridiculous emulating Fausto Coppi considered to be able to cut the road from the left at the intersection, coming out like crazy and priorities without regard to Stop and inserting lane so that if my mother had with an eye behind the ear I could see them. Fortuna them that I have good reflexes, data by age ( because an elderly person would make them dry surely) and that my small car has multiple systems in an emergency braking of a Formula 1 ( power Japan): gl'incoscenti obviously had to say ... them, cyclists, always take precedence and on the street can do what they like.

Too bad it is absolutely true: cyclists on the road have not always take precedence and can not do whatever they like, even the Highway Code, allows them to do very little, especially anything that that cyclists are generally sports. The myth of absolute priority

In Italy the only ones that would be a top priority pedestrian safety cyclists (
that are not divided between sports and less , but are intended only as users of the cycles, that is, transportation pedal ) are united to drivers of vehicles powered animal. precendeza They have only one case, the intersection unattended. That is, if you are in an unguarded crossing, that you drive a car you have to give priority to cyclists crossing, even if it comes from left, the cyclist is obliged to give any rider that comes from the right and equally to all pedestrians . Moral: what happened to me three months ago in Civitavecchia may never happen. If I'm walking through an intersection
because it is green for pedestrians, cyclists group that comes from my left must stop and let me pass .

The myth of movement in group I
cyclists can not travel in groups, they joined: allowed to move only in a row, one behind the other, keeping a safe distance between the bicycle and cycling. Someone explain it to them because they have not yet understood: they can not occupy the entire roadway. They have to be stacked on the right just as the Indians: if they want to say something between them can stop and talk, but do not occupy the entire roadway to do so. There is no legitimate or valid reason to give cyclists the right to move in groups. The myth of overtaking
In fact now the four nice people I have passed from the left. Too bad that the traffic it expressly prohibits: cyclists can never make a pass even other cyclists. If what they should plan ahead, you have to queue.
The myth of disability placards
Some road signs are directed not only to motorists and other road users, yet the CdS
says the exact opposite. A cyclist who take hand against a road or lane commits unlawful as if he had a motorcycle or a car. The Stop, this stranger, that is for everyone. Same thing for all the other signs: many court decisions and the Supreme Court has definitively clarified that the bike is half
transport
in effect and as such subject to compliance with all rules of the Highway Code. Only if the rider falls off the bicycle and dragged her hand, becomes a pawn and can be compared to them.
The myth of the lack of bicycle lanes
Many say that the number and length of bicycle paths is too low, and here we must agree with him. Very true: it takes more. But in Rome, use them to taxi drivers who are not cycling, and those few brave who practice on two wheels, can claim to arrive at the office puntalissimi crossing the central area in record time just riding quietly, enjoying the scenery .

Essentially the few slopes are also rarely used . For more about them is there is often found in front of an alleged division between
cyclists and cyclists sports, the latter think they can use the bike path as a velodrome and make sure that they, emulating the Great, have a kind priority on the child on board the bike with wheels supported by mom and dad. shame that in this case is not true: that child, for the Code is in effect a cyclist as just another right at the crossroads and if it comes from the cycle path takes precedence over the group of cyclists ( which should also travel in single file
here) who is required to stop and let it go ...
dell'inappicabilità The myth of the Highway Code

This applies to all road users: the
Highway Code, according to some, inappicabile . Foo. It can be applied fully, happily and simply, those who can not do it, it has a neural problem and it is good to remain at home. The myth of the cycling race
These rules, however, involve the most heinous problems for Bartali Sunday: as heck do you run? How does a group of cyclists in the sport to try their favorite sport? The Highway Code is there
with the sole aim of avoiding as much as possible
people Crepin asphalt : Obey all slavishly the death toll on the asphalt would be reduced to just mere accidents arising from the case, fatality or illness. The CdS
in essence is not there for athletes. The solution offered to them is that proposed also to fans of high-speed car: s'affittino a track.
In theory, the clubs and the Olympic Committee are there to this: since you can not use the common way for us when we think the races, sporting bodies should make available to those who just want to practice a sport infrastructure useful to case. Ergo the
Sunday cyclist makes a nice collection with friends, you load the bike and equipment in the car, goes to the velodrome and we rent the track, allowing them to train to do what he wants Pantani, safely, without Zebedee's break on Friday morning to those who work and play.
The myth of the impossibility of infligere fine
This myth is not to both the sporting cyclists, as the police: When you see a group of bicyclists who violate the rules of the road, you can safely stop them and fine. For some years it is limited to the speed limits on breaches of the tire with a white stripe or or two minutes on a parking disc. absolutely right: but that the group, race does not respect the traffic lights are red and flattened the bus that has the green, perhaps it would be better to stop and fined a few times when there was the 'occasion. Maybe he would have entered a bit 'of salt, before you go to the pumpkin smash into account the bumper of the bus ...

Difference Between Feminine Wipes And Baby Wipes

sent to die first


rejected Eritreans and Somalis in Italy, are in Libyan prisons for several months and could be returned to their country awaits a court-martial and the work forced.

Di Gabriele Del Grande.

Ten in February 2010. Gaeta. Interior Minister Roberto Maroni shakes hands with Libyan Ambassador in Italy Hafed Gaddur. Italy has maintained a commitment signed by the Prodi government in 2007. And today delivered to Libya for the other three patrol boats patrolling off the coast of Tripoli anti emigration after the three delivered in May 2009. The recipe of rejections, commissioned by the Prodi government and implemented by the Berlusconi government has given fruit. Landings in Sicily have been cleared in recent months. In 2009 came by sea just over 9 thousand people out of over 36mila arrived the previous year. Since the beginning of rejections, in May, the number of arrivals fell by as much as ninety percent. "We stopped the invasion," read the pompous pride of the league campaign posters. But no one has yet told the Italians that happened to the rejected.
Ten months after the first refoulement, we have rebuilt their fate, thanks to a tried and tested network of informants in Libya. Many of the rejected were repatriated to their countries. But not political refugees, Eritreans and Somalis, who are still in prison. The first two fields are located in Tripoli and Gatrun, a thousand miles to the south, in the desert. The Eritreans are instead divided among Misratah, Zlitan, Garaboulli and women, Zawiyah. While in Italy we toast to the crackdown on the landings, the refugees in Libya at risk of expulsion. Risk, because unlike the farmers of Burkina Faso or the children of the suburbs of Casablanca, an Eritrean or Somali repatriation means for arrests and persecution. And in some cases, life. Somalia is in civil war since 1991. And the Eritrean regime since 2001 in a tight grip ever tighter the opposition and the army. Repression is such, that recently the Eritrean intelligence services even arrived in Libya in search of opponents.
It happened in January 2010. The initial idea was to organize mass expulsion, as Egypt did in 2008 when eight hundred Eritreans repatriated in a month, mostly deserters. Thus, between January and February, hundreds of Eritreans detained in Libya have been filed. At the initial protests of those who refused to supply personal information to the embassy, \u200b\u200bthe Libyan police responded with violence. In the field of Surman's clashes have been particularly bloody. But in the end the Eritrean diaspora has been able to exert some pressure on international organizations and the press. And the project's return is reduced, however, taking an even more worrisome. According

Erena Radio, a radio independent Eritrean opposition based in Paris, among the hundreds of Eritreans detained in Libya, the regime would have selected twelve and they would be expelled. The facts date back to February 2, 2010. The criterion by which the twelve were to be chosen is the political role they had in their homeland before fleeing. All were in fact employed by different government departments and two of them were members Eritrean Air Force. Erena Radio has released a list of names: Nine of the twelve expelled, they would still detained arbitrarily in Eritrean prison Embatkala. They are: Zigta Tewelde, Asmelash Kidane, Zeraburuk Tsehaye, Teferi Zewde, Yohannes Tekle, Ghebrekidan Tesema, Tilinte Estifanos Halefom, Nebyat Tesfay and Tilinte Tesfagabre Mengstu. In addition, Yonas Habte, and Semere Ghebremichael that before fleeing from Eritrea were working in the office of President Afewerki, in these hours would be held in prison Ghedem near Massawa.

In Eritrea await years of rigorous imprisonment and torture. But the Eritreans remained in Libya, the situation is no better. In the detention center Garabulli are one hundred and seventy, locked together twenty-four Somalis, in large cells as a studio, one hundred feet square, where they are crammed up to forty or fifty people thrown to sleep on the floor. Eritreans arrived here Sept. 16, from prison in Benghazi, where in August a revolt of the prisoners had been put down in blood by the Libyan police, killing at least six Somali prisoners. Here, too, December 28, 2009 came the Eritrean Embassy forms for identification and repatriation. But no one wanted them to sign for fear of being persecuted in their homeland. They are almost all army deserters and Eritrea risking court martial and forced labor camps. To change his mind were the tortures of the Libyan police. On January 11 they have taken out one by one in the corridor of the jail, filling them with batons. One man was handcuffed and hung by the wrists to the wall, because it was an example to others. They finally filled the forms in one hundred and twenty, fifty more have continued to decline despite the beatings. Today they all have the same fear. Who signed afraid of being deported. Who has not done so afraid of being transferred to another prison and spend years in Libyan jails. The best years of life. Maybe with a family waiting for them here in Italy for months and that they no longer news. But do not worry about the Italians. Maroni has repeatedly said: "Libya is part of the UN and Libya is the High Commissioner for Refugees, the United Nations ".

How Big Is A Ringworm

March 2010 - A new common citizenship


Nicola Graubünden

From the capital to the deep south, from industry to the North West North East Distributed generation , on March 2010 was a day full of color.

Parades (partecipatissimi) and initiatives in more than 60 Italian cities, of course, to express opposition to racism and current immigration policies, but also to address situations and locations concrete, as the issue of evictions, exploitation at work, the precariousness of the security-management city.

We, in this March 2, the day after, to be fascinated by the idea of \u200b\u200barriving at a synthesis, or easily fooled by the possibility of telling just spent 24 hours in a ritual, rhetoric. But all this could only be a dress too tight for a day that opens instead unpublished scenarios, to be discovered, all to go.

because the first in March 2010 was not just the day of migrants, has not been a day of strikes and protests of the only foreigners, only the rights of foreigners. Rather, the first in March 2010, told the thousands of faces that have animated it, let us all with the idea and the belief that together Italian and foreign, we can construct a new language for living in the crisis.

Because if it is true that migrants are an essential part of a country that builds on the precariousness of many of its economy (in crisis), it is also true that it seems more and more remote the possibility of imagining shifts of this oil simple heterogeneous job insecurity is widespread. And inside it, the more likely it is to imagine the specific condition of migrants as an element of commonality that can produce units, claims municipalities shared.
If anything, the picture of this, still blurry and undefined (but for this full of possibilities) suggests that the condition of migrants colors of shades across every area of \u200b\u200bour lives, every facet of citizenship, each segment of insecurity and that for this could be the first of March.

If something we said, among many others, this day, you just stop with the monolithic representations of migrants, with the rhetoric about their situation, as if it were something separate from the rest of society and not its condition visceral structural epidemic. The squares of the first of March we reported that migrants are not simply one of many who live in this world partiality precarious, but instead through citizenship in all its forms and layered that on this ground, cross, is it possible to reposition a new path. Because if

Rosarno a revolt against exploitation had made us enjoy the idea of \u200b\u200brebellion "black" (and then ended with the expulsion), in Padua, a few weeks later, we realized that represent foreign nationals, immigrants, migrants, it is not easy, that the social decomposition, accelerated by the crisis, also produces deep furrows between those living in similar conditions of life, the recomposition of the migrant, as if they were something homogeneous, not just a theoretical exercise and risky, rather, there are elements that ricompositivi spoken languages, contradictory, but not unreal and this inaggirabili.

With these eyes, the desire to look into the folds of this, those that on March has contributed positively to discover us, we project instead toward a new horizon.

Among the various shades of yellow drawn from the day without us, we try to understand what more we talk about our future: there is a new space to build a new ground on which to practice the transformation that needs to bias yes, but also the construction of thought, practice and common life. Not the revolt of the "blacks", even the proposal of a generic "fragile unity", but trails training and performing with a new reality, a new way of society. This is not to give citizenship to new citizens, but to build a new common citizenship for all.
