Coronavirus: Pregliasco, the ideal bike in phase 2

"The bicycle, in phase 2, is an excellent alternative not only to public transport, but also to the car, and I believe that encouraging the use of the bicycle can also lead to the creation of a greater number of cycle paths. We have seen it even with smart working: during the Coronavirus emergency, remote work tools were started which were used very little until recently, but now everything has become simpler ". Professor Fabrizio Pregliasco, virologist of the University of Milan, said this in an interview with the InBici.net website.

According to Pregliasco "riding a bike will also be an excellent opportunity to return to sports, especially because during the quarantine many Italians have become a bit heavy while staying at home. Certainly, to date, if there was the possibility to choose between a shift by bike and one by car, I suggest using the pedal vehicle: taking public transport will be very difficult because you have to keep a safe distance, instead the bicycle allows social distancing and does not weigh down the traffic, so it can really be a way smart to move. "

"Moving by bicycle can become an opportunity for road safety - continues the virologist -. The idea of ​​electric bicycles is also magnificent, offering the possibility of moving even to those who are not very trained or who live in the mountains. In short , I believe that the bicycle, in phase 2 of the Coronavirus, will have the right boost it deserves, above all as a means of transport ".
