London (Reuters)

Australian cyclist Matthew Richardson announced that he has decided to play internationally for Great Britain, days after winning three Olympic medals for Australia.
Richardson, 25, won the silver medal in the individual sprint and the Keirin race at the Paris Games, as well as the bronze medal in the team sprint.
Richardson was born in Maidstone, England, and moved to Australia when he was nine years old.
He said on Instagram: “I’ve made the decision to pack my bags and move to the other side of the world to start the next chapter of my cycling career, and it’s with a sense of excitement that I announce that I joined the British cycling team Changing my sporting nationality was a difficult decision, and one I did not take lightly. It was a personal choice I made after that… it will always be part of my personality.”

Beer bicycles banned in Knokke-Heist: “It does not fit the image of a coastal municipality”

that too

A ride with a beer bike in Knokke-Heist? That is no longer allowed from this week. The coastal municipality has included a general ban in the police regulations, subject to GAS fines of up to 500 euros. Striking: in Ghent they found such a ban legally unenforceable.

You know them: a group of cheerful revelers who push a large beer cart forward, while music plays and beers from the tap are consumed. It happens, among other things, during bachelor parties, but the phenomenon is not appreciated everywhere. More and more local authorities are trying to keep them out.

In Ghent, after a few complaints, a ban was briefly considered last summer, but that ultimately did not happen. “That appears not to be legally possible and does not seem proportionate,” Mayor Mathias De Clercq (Open VLD) said at the time. But in Knokke-Heist they think differently. The municipal police ordinance was recently amended there. Beer bicycles are now banned throughout the country. And that on penalty of a GAS fine.

“We have already received a number of complaints about the phenomenon in the past,” says Mayor Jan Morbee (Municipal Interests). “To be clear: we have nothing against atmosphere and ambiance. Having fun is allowed and even necessary. But those beer bikes often cause a nuisance. That is why we have decided to ban them.”

“Perfectly enforceable”

By placing the ban in the local police ordinance, it is perfectly enforceable, Morbee says. “We made that choice consciously. And it is based on certain arguments. Firstly, we prefer that visitors to our coastal municipality consume something at the local catering industry,” says Morbee. “Go cycling, and then have a beer or a coffee on a terrace. On the other hand, we also think that beer bikes do not fit the image of a coastal municipality. Many families come here. It simply does not belong in our street scene.”

There is also the safety aspect. “A beer bike like this often involves excessive alcohol consumption,” Morbee continues. “You are still on public roads. There will be checks and violators risk a fine.” This can amount to 500 euros, because the maximum amount was increased in the same police regulations. “That is the legal maximum,” Morbee explains.

The new police ordinance has now been voted on and approved in the February city council. “And there was no protest against the ban on beer bicycles,” Morbee adds.

Success of Public Bicycle Project in A Illa: 858 Registrations and 1,206 Loans

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com December 24, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Changing mobility was one of the objectives with which the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (PMUS) of A Illa was born, which included the search for alternatives to the use of combustion vehicles. In this framework, a project emerged that had been successful in large European cities, which was the use of public bicycles, with several stations where they could be picked up or left after using them to explore the municipality. In A Illa, this proposal was launched in August 2022, with an application through which the bicycle could be reserved. The price for for foreigners it was 1.5 euros per hour, but weekly, monthly and annual bonuses were enabledwhile for those registered, the use of these bicycles (15 normal and as many electric) was completely free.

A year and a half after its launch, The application has 858 registrations and a total of 1,206 loans, figures that the government group considers very positive. The greatest activity of the service has been detected precisely during the summer, when the number of tourists increases, highlighting that among the users “we have detected the presence of citizens from other parts of Spain, especially from Madrid and Asturias, but also foreigners, like Portuguese or French.” There is also no lack the presence of residents from neighboring municipalities, who take advantage of public bicycles to move comfortably around the municipality during the summer. The most used route during the summer is the one that connects the stations of O Bao and Carreirón since many of the visitors to the municipality choose to park in the public parking at the entrance and travel to the beaches on the bicycles that are at the station. by O Bao.

During the rest of the year, the use It is limited almost exclusively to residents of the municipality who use bicycles to move from one side of the municipality to the other., having O Regueiro station as its starting point. During this year that has passed, the fact that hardly any notable incidents have been recorded, beyond a puncture or some repairable damage, also stands out. It is true that each user has to deposit a deposit of 100 euros to cover possible damage to the bicycles and, thanks to the application, the identity of each user and when they were able to use the service are perfectly known.

Luis Arosa, mayor of A Illa, He values the service very positively since “it is catching on with people, it is true that it may have its flaws.”, but I think that the use of bicycles will continue to grow in the coming years and we consider it a success.” What’s more, the possibility of expanding the number of bicycle stations is something that will be studied and, if it has not been done before, it is because of the high cost of each of its stations.

Right now, just The O Bao, Carreirón and O Regueiro stations are active, but Arosa is aware that “there should be some more in other areas such as Area da Secada beach for its tourist attraction, and O Cantiño.” change the car for the bicycle when moving around the interior of the municipality. The service It remains open every day until 11:00 p.m., extending until 1:00 a.m. during the summer.

“The power of marketing has made your wonderful cushioning shoes limit you to 155 steps per minute instead of 180, which is how you ran years ago without so much deception”

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 19, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

“While minimalists run at 180 steps per minute, your wonderfully cushioned shoes slow you down and only let you go at a pyrrhic 155.” This is how the specialists at the Corridor Clinic are dispatched when evaluating the evolution of cadence in recent years with the increase in the number of models with excess damping.

In a very instructive article they clarify all doubts about the cadence that a popular runner may have.

What is the cadence of step in running and why talk about it?

All the gurus who talk about running biomechanics around the world talk about stride cadence in running to reduce injuries and run faster. Several scientists have studied these concepts. It is a topic that is very fashionable among runners.

Could we say that 180 steps/minute is the ideal cadence for all runners?

Effectively it is around 180 steps with a margin of +/- 10. The ideal cadence is different for each individual… take off your shoes, run for a while on a hard surface (asphalt) and you will know what YOUR ideal cadence is.

Does the runner’s speed change anything, or should he always maintain the same cadence?

Although it is true that speed has an influence on cadence (cadence increases as speed increases) its increase is 10 times less important than the increase in step length. Furthermore, the optimal cadence at any speed is most of the time +/- 10 steps around the average cadence…Whether at jogging speed (10km/h) or at competition speed (20km/h for athletes) . Be careful, walking and sprinting mechanics are different!

Has increasing cushioning affected cadence?

The average cadence of barefoot runners is 180 (+/-10). Popular runners in maximalist shoes with wonderfully cushioned top shoes average a pyrrhic 155 steps. Another interesting thing about cadence is that it has decreased significantly over the last 30 years! …The more cushioning and the more marketing, the fewer steps in each minute. They are tricking us to sell more and more expensive shoes.

“The power of marketing has made your wonderful cushioning shoes limit you to 155 steps per minute instead of 180, which is how you ran years ago without so much deception”

Do all international elite runners maintain a cadence of 180?

170 and more… it is interesting to note that most of them run with cadences of 180 (+/- 10)… and this from 1500m to marathon!

What benefit will I get, from a performance standpoint, from increasing my cadence to 180 steps/min?

In the short term, an increase in cadence of 3-4% reduces O2 consumption and improves performance in most subjects. In the long term, in popular runners, a more significant increase could also increase mechanical efficiency (less O2 consumption for the same speed), thus increasing running economy (more elastic rebound, less muscular work, less vertical displacement, etc. .).

What benefit will I get from an injury prevention standpoint?

This reduces the speed of impact with the ground (associated in some studies with the incidence of injuries) in addition to reducing stress on the joints of the knees, hips and lower back.

How can a long stride be detrimental to a runner, from an injury and performance standpoint?

Slow cadences (140 to 160 steps per minute), often seen in popular runners, are more likely to increase the braking phase, placing the heel on the ground ahead of the center of gravity, the speed of the force of impact, etc.

Is it difficult to increase the cadence?

No. It is an easy process for 90% of people to learn. Just taking more steps and making them smaller is enough. To improve your ability to maintain a good cadence over the long term, run barefoot or in minimalist shoes (Minimalist Index > 70%). On the contrary, there is something essential in this change of cadence: be progressive… add one to two minutes per start!

Traffic Jam at Druskininki Border Point – Causes and Solutions

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 8, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Approaching the border point, a long line of cars has formed, stretching several kilometers. At the border point itself, some cars are waiting for inspection. True, cars are not the only ones left here – bicycles are scattered on the side of the road. As it turns out, they were left here on purpose and are causing problems. Andrjus Beloruchkins, commander of the Druskininki border point, explained to the “15min” portal why this happened. “You see, this year various vehicle bans were imposed throughout the European Union. Likewise in Lithuania. These bans do not exist in Belarus and Russia.”
