Calories Orville Natural Popcorn

A Modest Proposal (Swift docet!)

(letter sent to Cofferati October 10, 2004, this time to the official website of the City)


Dear Mayor, I am forced

to undergo a matter of "micro" that could really disappear into the sea of \u200b\u200bissues "macro" you are facing, but since this little problem about my daily life, my family and all the residents of my street, I ask myself the same .

Gold Street, my street is a short walk from Porta Castiglione, and while I do the best possible use of walk and bike every now and then to upload / download, I have to get into the car.

Well, on my way to get in the car, instead of going thirty yards that separate it from the ring road, I am forced to take a tour of nearly a mile long, all in the old town and all of course with the engine running. Of course what do I need to do all the others. Until a few months ago lived on that stretch of Via Castiglione in an old bus lane, which (admit it) every time I walked without having the right to the famous thirty meters. But now a few months, thanks to one of the last actions of the junta earlier, the lane is gone, replaced from parking for motorcycles and cars.

I'll ask you to consider restoring a hundred feet of steps to reach from the Golden Gate via Castiglione, of course, be made available only to residents, with the usual rules of the old town. Those

hundred feet would allow among other things, and here again the interest of the rider, to (re) construct the invisible but powerful bike path via Castiglione, Viazzolo alley, via degli Angeli, Via Orfeo, which allows the Porta Castiglione easy to reach by bike via Dante and Piazza Carducci without the avenues, that bikes are now taboo. I enclose a

schemino that facilitates the understanding of that I maybe a bit 'vaguely asked.

course thank you for your interest and wish you good work

What Is A Jacobite Shirt

Any idea in any order

Bologna Every time I pedal I can think of something useful (at least for those who go on a bike). For example today I went all'Oviesse in via dei Mille and I asked, but because a store like this one, overlooking the arcades, does not place some nice bike rack for input from the parties? Who gets there by bike (and I believe are many) is forced to throw the middle where it happens, on a pillar, related only to itself.
Clearly, the proposal could be echoed by the City Council, in agreement with the managers concerned. The rack can carry a smart panel advertising and should have the posts with the ring, which maximize the safety of ligation (chaining is the frame that the front wheel is essential to ensure that thieves do not freghino few pieces ...).
We'll see ...

Can U Get An Infection From A Brazilian Wax

The answer! A letter to the Chinese

Dear VIC58,

thank you for the contribution you sent me. I am also a cyclist, who did not repent, and I noticed immediately, coming in Bologna, what are the difficulties encountered in running a bicycle. As I wrote in my diary on the site.
Our city has a negative record: is last in the Region for provision of bicycle lanes. Every citizen of our city has available to 0.09 meters per capita. Over the past three years, the Emilia-Romagna has allocated 31 million euro for the construction of new trails. 20% of these resources have been "acquired" from Reggio Emilia, Ferrara from 16%, 14% of Parma, only 6% went to the Province of Bologna, but everyone in the neighboring towns to the city, which has not been able to produce even a draft. These figures speak volumes about the current administration's unwillingness to take initiatives in this area. Yet the morphological characteristics of Bologna, not unlike those of other towns in our region, we suited to develop this type of mobility. On cycle paths and dedicated a chapter of the program.
Your ideas are widely shared, add only one point: We must secure the homes for bicycles. Upon arriving in Bologna, a neighbor of mine, seeing me go out with the bike, he warned "be careful where he puts it, because here at the Bologna steal." Struck with curiosity, I informed the number of thefts is surprisingly high, and is one of the reasons why people give up to use this means of individual transportation.

Thanks
