corn Amor, Menos engine! - Brazilians against car mania

In Brazil, there is a movement that calls itself "Bicicletada. It was established following the example of a movement that emerged in the 90s in San Fancisco, USA. The movement in San Francisco was called "Critical Mass . The idea is to make the cycling popular and put pressure on the politicians that the cyclists will be given more space on public roads. The cycling is promoted as an ecological and sustainable transport. The keyword "mais amor, menos motor" in German means "more love, less engine. It is a citizens' movement without leaders and without incorporation. But they are just in major Brazilian cities with new ideas and actions.

explains on its website the movement their goal: ".. We do not have a central goal, they are always formulated by the participants in their actions, we require joint demonstrations, the" Bicicletada "movement is used to the bike as a popular means of transport to do to create good conditions for using this means of transportation and to fight for a greener and sustainable Transpormittel especially in the cities. One of our themes, we propagate under the slogan "one car less" ("to carro a menos"), in which we show more respect from motorized users that operate on the major thoroughfares of the cities attract. Another slogan is "We are traffic" ("Nós somos o Trânsito"). The idea is to make the motorized riders clear that the bicycle is a component of urban traffic, respect due.

How important is the demand for respect for these road users, shows an incident in Porto Alegre. On the night of the 25th February started in this city a motorist in a group of about a hundred cyclists of "Bicicletada" movement. It was this accident in which there were many injured, not by accident. The driver is fed to the cyclists, braked, accelerated and drove into the group. As for the cyclists and the movement "Bicicletada" most upset was that the media and the police wanted to play down the incident. Tuesday night was the culprit, a bank employee, 47 years old, finally arrested. Meanwhile, he is examined in a psychiatric hospital.

There is therefore war on Brazil's streets. Pedestrians and cyclists are in this game the most vulnerable road users. A member of the "Bicicletada" movement describes the state: "The transition from the citizens, who goes on foot, motorized citizens in Brazilian society was never discussed or understood in its full extent. When you talk about the drivers, is spoken only of privileges and rights and forget the duties and responsibilities. The driver thinks he has a natural superiority over other road users. He played on to the other road users. From the perspective of the drivers are no pedestrian road users. On the contrary, he looks at him as an opponent, and as an obstacle to a speedy driving. The object of the pedestrian is not to restrict motorized traffic. The drivers take out the right to the street, the sidewalks and places to see as their property "
