A responsible riding is crucial to keep streets as safe as possible for everyone, also for cyclists. With these simple videos I'd like to express the need for bicyclists to follow the rules of the road: how to behave with pedestrians, how to handle traffic, how to ride along the streets in general, without running on the sidewalks.

Every kilometer riding with a cycling saves an average of 150 grams of carbon dioxide produced by gasoline or diesel with our car.
For example, a thousand miles a month does not produce 150 kilograms of carbon dioxide. 1 ton and 800 kg. per year.

For use the cycling paths in Italy you must have a good mountain bike.

Italians are divided broadly into two categories, those who respect the rules and who does not respect them. Unfortunately, the majority belongs to the latter. Among the thousands of small injustices and violence is the daily total ignorance of the rules of the road, starting at the pedestrian crossing.

Cycling is a sustainable transportation mode and provides an attractive alternative to driving. Bicycle:
- Replaces single occupant vehicle trips and reduce traffic congestion and need for parking.
- Is a complement walking and transit use, relieving pressure on at capacity transit lines.
- Provides opportunity for physical activity, leading to various health benefits.
- Improves air quality, as cycling emits zero greenhouse gas emissions.

We can make bicycling safer for all by observing the following safety tips:

Always wear a helmet
Obey all traffic controls
Ride your bicycle near the right-hand edge of the road
Never carry another person on your bicycle
Always use hand signals when turning or stopping
Look out for cars at cross street, driveways, and parking places
Be careful when checking traffic and don't swerve when looking over your shoulder
Give pedestrians the right-of-way
Keep your bicycle in good condition
Always ride carefully

Remember a bicycle is a vehicle.
