No need to apologize, you might as well have starred at a traffic light, though I'll expect a knowledgeable person like you to have chosen a better scenery. Yes, when it is cold (< -10 C) we need to keep moving, a good way to warm up, specially if going uphill . <a href="http://www.idi.ntnu.no/~roger/trheim/page2/Sentrum_2.jpg" rel="nofollow"> This is a photograph of Trondheim </a>, not particularly flat,is it? But I agree that cycling uphill at a 63 deg latitude is much less sweaty than at about 40 deg.<br /><br /><br />Barba: I'm afraid that you, by failing to realize that "subway" is a chiefly American term (everywhere else it is called "underground", "metro", " U-Bahn", "tube", etc), seem to have reached an irreversible level of indoctrination. Of course you blame Ludwig but more likely you've sub-consciously picked it up by watching all those war glorifying Hollywood movies or American TV series. That's probably where you've also learnt all those expletives ("fuck", "shit", "troll" ), you see when the USA goes on to invade, plunder and destroy all those countries they need to prepare their (and UK) troops with the adequate language skills, which include all those expletives [1].<br /><br /><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/nov/06/iraq-prisoner-abuse-court" rel="nofollow"> [1] Warning: This video contains material that viewers may find disturbing </a><br /><br />Vasco: I live in a place where most people could probably afford to buy a top of the range Mercedes Benz every year, but instead they rather buy a bicycle or a 2nd hand car. Sometimes I have to travel to your country and am baffled to see so many flashy cars, Mercedes, Audis, Porches, etc. Then I realized that Germany is the main contributor for the EU funds that pour into Portugal so they somewhat convinced the Portuguese to buy their cars so that their money returns to Germany. Aren't clever these Germans? They even managed to come to Portugal and write excellent blogs in Portuguese.Hydrofluorichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878218757325125835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29251019.post-20920662087195590272010-11-05T11:51:30.204+00:002010-11-05T11:51:30.204+00:00Barba, you should have answered HF in Portuguese. ...Barba, you should have answered HF in Portuguese.

Come over here to Sintra, with the curved, tiny roads filled with racing buses and teach me how to drive my two kids to their school in my back, and then travel the hilled 15 kms and back every day, and then "perhaps" you'll have some point. Until then you show little to zero sensibility to my issues here.<br /><br /><i>«Barba: You have been massively indoctrinated, the use use of the word "subway", instead of "underground" or "metro", is the give away clue.»</i><br /><br />What the fuck is this shit? Do you even understand the concept of "second language"? That phenomena where you have portuguese or french or italian people talking a language which isn't their own? If I chose "subway" is not because I chose a "diminishing" term, for I didn't even know it was "diminishing". I used it because it is the relevant word and the substitutes you used confirm this.<br /><br />Moreover, it was Ludwig who first used the word so, your last line about indoctrination is silly and arrogant.

I call it level of self negotiating with the dishonest-you in order to proceed with immune stupidity. But I also know Trondheim, been cycling there for almost a month, and can't find a match with our portuguese major towns. Despite the weather (you can freeze just by staring at a traffic light, September is enough) orography and urban architecture are quite welcoming in Trondheim when compared to Príncipe Real, Clérigos or Norton de Matos.

In Lisboa, Porto or Coimbra a bike would require olympic skills or a strong wish to be rolled over. "<br /><br />The problem is not the steep hills, the weather, the kids, the dangerous car drivers, those are just excuses. The problem is the pervasive indoctrination that shifts the values and priorities of people towards an alien (USA) culture. Should there be more critical thinking then they'll easily come up with solutions:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.trampe.no/english/index.php/" rel="nofollow">"Hilly cities normally have a low share of cycling. How come that Trondheim, the third largest city of Norway, has the highest share of cycling compared to all the other Norwegian cities? We believe there are three main reasons:<br /> <br />Trondheim is a university city with 30 000 students, 90 % of whom using their bicycles as their main transport tool<br /> <br /> During the last 20 years, there has been invested more than 20 mill NOK in a bicycle roads network and bicycle transport infrastructure in Trondheim<br /><br />One of the most important infrastructure elements is the bicycle lift Trampe. During 15 years of operation, it has pushed more than 220 000 cyclist up the very steep hill Brubakken in the historical heritage part of the city center".</a><br /><br />When was this built? About 15 years ago. So why couldn't Lisboa, Porto and specially Coimbra have done something similar? Instead they are clogged with cars.<br /><br />Ludwig: You seem to be doing quite well already by averaging a usage of 0.5 cars, a 50% reduction.<br /><br />Barba: You have been massively indoctrinated, the use use of the word "subway", instead of "underground" or "metro", is the give away clue. Good luck in keeping those values in a very different country.
