Extensive bicycle path systems
may be found in some cities. Such dedicated paths often have to be shared with
in-line skaters, scooters, skateboarders, and pedestrians. Segregating bicycle
and automobile traffic in cities has met with mixed success, both in terms of
safety and bicycle promotion. At some point the two streams of traffic
inevitably intersect, often in a haphazard and congested fashion. Studies have
demonstrated that, due to the high incidence of accidents at these sites, some
such segregated schemes can actually increase the number of car-bike collisions.
Bicycles are considered a
sustainable mode of transport, especially suited for urban use and relatively
shorter distances when used for transport compared to recreation. Case studies
and good practices from European cities and some worldwide examples that
promote and stimulate this kind of functional cycling in cities can be found at
Eltis, Europe's portal for local transport.
A number of European countries,
including Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden,
apply a strict liability towards cyclists, protecting them. For example in the
Netherlands, the law assumes the stronger participant is liable in the case of
an accident with a weaker participant unless it can be proved that the
cyclist's behavior could not have been expected. You can buy Olympic Modern Pentathlon Tickets from Sport Ticket Exchange at very cheap rates. Sport Ticket
