“Removal of the snow is a complete madness”
“”Grannies with a cane should, apparently, stay at home during the winter,” writes Lena Mellin”
“I live in Stockholm, sweden. I bikes not to work. I walk, ride the bus and subway.”
“for a long time I have puzzled me over, as I thought, mistake. An oversight that could easily be corrected.”
“I have Seldom been more wrong.”
“Between the roadway and the bus stop on my stop there is a walkway. It is approximately 1.5 metres wide.”
“Where is it plogat sometimes. But much more often it is both difficult and dangerous to take along the curb.”
“It depends on the snow first to be trampled underfoot to a snowy mass of countless bussåkarfötter and then freezes in, yes, you recognize the progress. To finish, the walkway turned into a long, narrow field of isknölar, sometimes covered in treacherous snow, which can trap anyone.”
“Especially those who are in a hurry to the bus, go bad or have a kid in a stroller and one in the hand.”
“On the other side of the bus stop, the reality is different. There is not a snowflake. Not an icy lump. Where is the asphalt, as black, and are often as dry, as during the height of summer. Where is the bike lane.”
“not only have observed, but also experienced, the difference between the part of the course is designed for bicycles and the like is intended for pedestrians, I decided that the discrepancy was due to a misunderstanding.”
“I contacted the city of Stockholm, department for complaints. After a short time came the answer. It started like this:”
“‘ Both cycle lanes and walkways shall snöröjas. To cykelstråken shall sopsaltas is a political decision that the traffic perform.” The programme officer at the Stockholm city synpunktsportal also sent their best wishes.”
“It is thus the intention that it should be easier to bike than to go in the city, according to a democratic decision. Taste it; it should be easier to ride than to walk in the capital of Sweden, especially in winter. It is the purpose and the goal.”
“It is, of course, complete madness. More go than bikes any day of the year. The number of pedestrians outperforms the riders during the winter.”
“In Stockholm is the removal of the snow feminist, a decision which as far as I have ascertained not changed despite the shift in power in city Hall. But the grannies with a cane should, apparently, stay at home during the winter months, only the colorful lycramännen on their race bikes can whiz up on tracks completely liberated from all obstacles. How feminist, or egalitarian, is it?”
“the Stockholm municipality’s decision is crazy. It also puts great educational demands on decision-makers. Explain why it should be easier to cycle than to walk in the middle of winter, the one who can.”
“Five things to keep an eye on in the week.”
“Now we can finally take the new tag. Societal problems can’t wait.”
