Excellent opportunity to fix bicycles. Good Decatholon the initiative in the car-free day in Brussels. In several parts of the city-center assistance available to check and fix their own bikes: tire pressure, oil, minor repairs.

Nice initiative that is bringing people to the bike, especially a bit 'lazy maintenance. The car-free day in Brussels is really without a car. Not only in the center as normally occurs in many cities. The whole city is shut down. Thus, the streets are crowded with bicycles, skates, you ....

Yesterday Mauritius Goat recalled that the UN is not recommended to travel to children under 15 months of seats facing forward.

I do not know, probably evadessi studies that I believe have influenced this new recommendation will take into account these and other questions - I confess I have not read the recommendations -

The fact is that I remain of the view that a "recommendation" of this type must be accompanied by a strong information campaign, especially if it disrupts one way of doing (or not do?) Or believe.

Ready for back to school? Not yet, at least in Italy, but here in Northern Europe we're almost there (September 1). Here are 6 simple tips for the "comeback" as they say the French-speaking countries. Perhaps they are the usual "recommendations", but it's always better to repeat and remember.

Certainly we all need more attention.

  1. Not compremettere concentration and safety of other users trovandi late. Even in your usual way, expect a few more minutes and leaves the house well in advance: you'll travel more relaxed and you're probably less concerned about getting to work late. With the reopening of schools in a NORML recorded between 20 and 30% more traffic.
  2. Remember that children (especially the "first day of school" and especially "In the company of their friends") do not pay much attention to traffic, the road and the possible danger, opting instead to reach out and greet their comrades who did not seen for several months. Especially in the vicinity of schools pay more attention.
  3. Avoid standing or stopping in the vicinity of pedestrian crossings: let them be fully usable by the children.
  4. Beyond psychological and pedagogical theories, though usually accompany your child to school with your wife / husband is driving less discomfort (usually ... ...) and less stress for any delays. It 'a great opportunity to reunite the family.
  5. Consider that in the summer something might be changed in the way to school: abbassamanto speed limits (area 30), new bus shelters, wider sidewalks: all situations that increase the possibility for a pedestrian to cross the road or to feel more secure. Increase your attention!
  6. If the case does not accompany your child to school, but lets him go alone (on foot or by bike), make sure it is aware of potential hazards along the way. Better saebbe go, in the days before, the path with him / her indicating where there may be problems. If available, you prefer services and path "walking bus" are normally safe and provide the figure of a companion. Informed, usually municipalities (and schools) advertise these services.

I forgot another? Yes, sure ... ..
