How Green Bike Lanes Keep You Fit

By Helen Smith


People who are health conscious often apply for gym memberships. Because they believe that by signing up for a class or session for several times in a week would help them become fit. But there are many who soon drop out of these classes due to more pressing duties. In the end a costly gym membership is just another expense that continuously drain money out of your pocket.

People who drive cars are mindful about the distance they must cover everyday to get to work from home or school. While others have a variety of ways to get to their destinations by transferring from their cars to their cycles, or riding the local bus and trains. It saves them more petrol and traffic jams are avoided during rush hours, but the best way of getting around town is through riding the bicycle on Green Bike Lanes.

The number one reason why two wheeler drivers prefer traveling town on a bicycle is because of its efficiency. It is easier for many to slip in and out of the streets, and also very good for your health. Not only it improves the health but also economically and environmentally friendly too.

This project was designed for big active streets, and for users to identify easily and understand the benefits of using it. And to be able to distinguish second rate ones. Most modern bike lane uses green paint that is buffered and protected.

Bicycle safety educators emphasize on the right turn rule. It reminds vehicle owners to merge within the cyclist route when they are taking a right turn on . Instead of suddenly cutting off cyclist this rule helps decrease collision accidents between vehicles and bikes.

In many cities choosing the right bike route protector is crucial. The criteria for protectors to be judge on is the protection level, installation cost, durability, and aesthetics. These criteria are rated from one to five. The lowest being one and highest being five.

Most motorists often cut corners to save extra time on the way. But should follow the right turn rule to avoid endangering cyclist on the street. Another way of protecting cyclists are the methods used to separate bicycle and auto traffic.

Another version of this method is raised bike way. This is the most expensive and cost around eight to twenty six million per lane mile. It offers top notch protection, durability, and very aesthetic out of all protector. The design separates vertically the cyclist track from moving traffic. And often paired with a furnishing zone. Other versions of this method includes one or two way travel for cyclist.

The parked car method is the best because of its high level of protection and durability. Designed to protect riders from moving vehicles by placing the park car between the bike lane and moving traffic. The parked car is eleven feet and roughly cost around eight to sixteen grand per lane mile. While the striped buffer is the least preferable since its design is to place the rider between parked cars and moving vehicle. And considered to be lowest in protection with durability and aesthetic aspects as average. The striped buffer has a basic look and might need future rework.
