«Velosipedizatsiya Vladivostok» — a social movement aimed at promoting cycling. Its organizer, Eugene Mamaev, spoke about veloparkovki, velovyhodnyh, velopiknikah and even orienteering. Separately, he referred to the death of a cyclist in a crash on the island of Russian. — Our main goal is not only to popularize the bicycle as a vehicle, — says Eugene — but also to the movement to «iron horse» in the city as comfortable as possible. Thus, the change to a bicycle, unloading tracks, there will be more people: to ideological supporters adding a simple lovers of comfort and convenience. But to do this — adds Eugene — need these to create the most comfortable conditions. The movement is making significant steps in this direction. For example, activists helped install veloparkovki near the administration building of the city. The first triangular parking lot on the design of «Velosipedizatsii Vladivostok» installed at Ocean Avenue, 90. The other day, members of the movement communicated with representatives of large networks of our city, such as «Remy», «The Pacific» and «Fresh» on installing veloparkovok in these shopping centers. — It would be great if on tracks allocated a special lane for cyclists, — the organizer of the «Velosipedizatsii Vladivostok.» — This is, by the way, would help to avoid the recent accident on Russian island that killed a cyclist. The incident clearly shows that motorists are not yet ready for new participants in the movement for the two-wheel transport, and the latter, in turn, did not have enough knowledge and understanding of traffic rules on the road. To help velolyubitelyam focus on the road, activists organized a «Veloshkolu», which was attended by only 5-6 people. But this movement is not going to stop veloprosvetitelskuyu activity. — During the summer, every week we held «Velovyhodnye» — says Eugene Mamaev. — In the near future in motion — to arrange a «Velopiknik.» And in October, we intend to conduct a «orienteering.» In this event, participants will travel on the highway, in the correct order through all the control points, and who will do it first will win a prize.
