In this episode we will reflect to the negative aspects that cycling carries along. Today, many progressive urban thinkers(conditionally speaking), such as, are advocating for more cycling infrastructure and better cycling friendly cities. That is great and we believe that the future urbanism and urbanization of our cities should integrate cycling as principal value. However, not many people dare neither try to share the negative impacts that cycling and standardized application of cycling infrastructure has over vulnerable communities of the cites, local dynamics and local cultures. We must not allow for cycling the be part of a story called “arrogant urbanization” because in that way we risk to turn bicycles into new type of “car”.
