RIDE MORE 'FAST CAR?
All comparisons made so far in trucking, bus, taxi or private car, bicycle and foot race took place on city driving mileage limited to a few kilometers.
Always the bicycle he was the winner. But what if the comparison is done on a longer route?
bring my testimony and I live in Prevalle do I go to work on a Triumplina Brescia. The shortest path (option A) is the way Prevalle-ty-Brescia (ex SS 45 bis) about 22 km. The alternatives are the first two (option B) plans to take in today's Prevalle SS 45 bis and then along the ring road south, then the West, and finally end up being Oberdan via Triumplina total: 33 km. The other alternative (option C) is to get to via road Triumplina Gavardo, valleys, vessel stretch with climbs and descents for a total of 33 more miles.
Want to know what the average journey times during peak hours of course those where you have to go to work? Read on. The calculations are based on the diesel car segment C.
Option A: of course 60 minutes due to traffic generated by the endless array of traffic lights, roundabouts and works in progress scattered along the route: average speed 22 kmh!
Option B: 55 minutes, the length of the route joined the intense traffic on the SS 45 Bis expand considerably the time of travel: average speed of 36 kmh, but higher absolute time.
Option C: the fastest option, despite the troubled path, "only" 45 minutes to cover the 33 kilometers of the route to the crowd average of 44 kmh!
Then we ride the "petty" and see how quickly we get to Brescia. Despite the obstacles strewn along the path represented by motorists nervously forced into random file to arrive at the traffic lights Bornata in 27 minutes on average to almost 40! Now missing the final part but also the most difficult to overcome and Pusterla with the most important part of traffic. Dribble cars, traffic lights, and pedestrians seem to work all undertaken to take the bike path that entrance to avoid the traffic of Venice Boulevard. Take the top Triumplina true Cup path. Time is running. Upon arrival in Triumplina away after 22 km 36 minutes will have elapsed from the start all strictly less than the time taken to cover the route via Triumplina Prevalle-Brescia. The media touches almost 37 kmh!
The savings in time, 8 minutes for each leg that is 16 minutes for the journey of return multiplied by at least 25 times a year (minimum target staff) that is at least one month a year to work by bike translated into figures mean: 400 minutes
in hand to do what pleases me more that 6 h and 40 'almost an entire workday.
€ 120 fuel economy by calculating an average consumption of 15 km / l on 1650 km of the route is not the fastest route.
264,000 grams of CO2 in the atmosphere not introduced to the use of bicycles by calculating 160 grams of CO2 emitted per kilometer on routes not 1650!
's just a small contribution to the environment but it is important that each task of the small things we do not have to radically change their lives, making only a little more attention to the environment. But if these gestures, as in the example I quoted, also mean more time for themselves, a little savings, an advantage in terms of health for physical activity, we obtained the surface area of circle!
