Cycle lanes: Testimonies related to the lack of a comprehensive transport plan for Valdivia

Abstract

This brief study deals with the cycle lane project in the city of Valdivia and the inefficiency of the consultancy firm hired to construct the lanes according to international standards. Among other issues, we analize how the model of the cycle lane in Valdivia shows a lack of awareness of the city functioning, its weather and historical experiences in other countries related to the desing of sole lanes for bikes.
