A new type of cyclist
In the major Chilean newspaper La Nación Domingo Alejandro Kirk argues (machine translation) that a new type of cyclists arises choosing the bike as a principal way of getting around as a positive decision – instead of a sign of resignation before ill or too warily implemented transportation policies. A good friend of mine i got to know on a bicycle ralley in Santiago is mentioned as a model citizen of the “bicivilización” where the bicycle poses a way to improve health, autonomy, and self-esteem. The bicycle is described as an ingenious invention since you neither need to be an athlete nor a mechanic to ride it. And of course: you are much more beautiful on a bicycle.
