There's no such a viable, practical and inexpensive way to move around urban areas as a bicycle. Of course it depends on the distance to be covered and city layout, other factors include traffic congestion, car parking availability and the associated cost, and public transport availability and efficiency.
Northern Europe countries are a near-perfect model of bike mobility. Century- or millennia-old cities were designed for pedestrian traffic and bikes do cope with certain situations while larger vehicles can't. Definitely my favorite choice in my hometown Torino.
Today Italy celebrates the first edition of the National Bicycle Day, an educational event to spread awareness and get people out of their SUVs.
Most kids can't wait to have a bicycle because it's fun. Why can't people still have this sort of fun after getting a driver's license? Time to go back in time folks! Shed some weight, save a few bucks and help the environment.
Looking forward to see thousands pedaling today around Torino ;)
