1 | Mexico City Netizens Celebrate World Bicycle Day | Mankalaza Ny Andron'ny Bisikileta Manerantany i Mexico |
2 | In Mexico City, bicycle riding is a fast, easy and cheap way to get around in some of the busiest neighborhoods. | Ao an-tanànan'i Mexico, ny fivoizana bisikileta no fomba haingana, mora ary vetivety ihodidinana ireo faritra be olona sy fitohanana. |
3 | It is common to see people from all ages riding their bikes, especially on Sunday mornings when City Hall closes major roads to give the right of way to cyclists. | Efa mahazatra ny mahita ambaratongan-taona mivoy ny bisikiletany, indrindra ny alahady maraina rehefa manakatona ny lalambe ny Lapan'ny Tanàna ka manome ny lalana ho an'ny mpivoy bisikileta. |
4 | Due to the lack of a “cycling” culture, this scenario was unthinkable a few years ago, when the few people who used bicycles as a common way of transportation would get funny looks as if using this type of transportation was some sort of a suicidal activity. | Tsy azo noeritreretina mihitsy ny tranga tahaka izao taona vitsivitsy lasa izay noho ny tsy fisian'ny “kolontsai-pivoizana”, rehefa heverina ho karazana famonoan-tena ny nijerena ireo olona vitsy nanao ity fitaovana ity ho fitaova-pitaterana mahazatra. |
5 | “Cars go first, then humans,” was the popular way of thinking. | “Fiara aloha no mandeha vao ny olona,” hoy ny fomba fisainana mahazatra ny olona. |
6 | Today, April 19, on World Bicycle Day, blogger David Saenz compares [es] Mexico's cycling culture to that in countries like Holland and Denmark: | Mampitaha [es] ny kolontsai-pivoizana ao amin'ny tanànan'i Mexico amin'izay misy any Holandy sy Danemarka ny bilaogera David Saenz ny andron'ny 19 avrily: |
7 | April 19 is when we celebrate World Bicycle Day. | 19 Avrily no ankalazantsika ny andro manerantanin'ny bisikileta. |
8 | Do I need to recall the benefits of this model of transportation for individual users and society in general? | Ilaina indray ve ny mampahatsiahy ny tombontsoa azo avy amin'ity fomba fitaterana ity eo amin'ny tsirairay sy ny fiaraha-monina ankapobeny? |
9 | Perhaps in countries like Holland and Denmark, there is not need for this reminder. | Tsy ilaina angamba ny mampahatsiahy izany ho an'ny firenena tahaka an'i Holandy sy Danemarka. |
10 | But in Spain, Mexico, France, Italy, the United Kingdom…especially in large cities, cars are the owners of the city. | Fa raha ny ao Espaina, Meksika, Frantsa, Italia, Fanjakana Mitambatra (Angletera)…indrindra fa ny tanàndehibe, ny fira no tompon'ny tanàna. |

13 | In Mexico City, the individual urban bicycle transportation system called “Ecobici” was implemented in 2010. | Naorina tao an-tanànan'i Mexico tamin'ny taona 2010 ny rafi-pitaterana an-tanàndehibe ho an'ny tsirairay antsoina hoe “Ecobici”. |
14 | It supplements the public transportation network with 85 bicycle stations distributed in popular spots around the city. | Manampy ny fitateram-bahoaka izy io amin'ny fametrahana tobim-bisikileta 85 eny amin'ny toerana be olona manerana ny tanàna. |
15 | The blog Animal Político describes [es] how the Ecobici program wants to celebrate World Bicycle Day by setting a record in the number of users: | Mamahavaha [es] ny fomba ankalazana ny andron'ny Bisikileta Manerantany amin'ny hanamontsanana ny isan'ny mampiasa be indrindra ao anatin'ny andro iray ataon'ny fandaharan'asa Ecobici ny bilaogy Animal Político: |
16 | To celebrate this day, Ecobici called its 31,000 registered users (only 28,100 are active users) to use one of the 2oo,000 bikes from the system more than ever today to break the record of 10,000 trips a day. | Miantso ny mpampiasa bisikileta 31.000 (ny 28.100 no mavitrika) misoratra anarana ao aminy hampiasa ny iray amin'ny bisikileta 200.000 ananan'ny fandaharan'asa amin'ity andro ity indrindra ny Ecobici hanamontsanana ny dia 10.000 tao anatin'ny indray andro. |
17 | For Sunday, Ecobici also invites citizens to a Rally for the Earth, on bikes, of course. | Mazava loatra fa manasa ny olo-pirenena ho amin'ny lanonan'ny Tany amin'ny alahady ihany koa ny Ecobici. |
18 | A curious fact is that Wednesday is the day that the Ecobici system is more widely used, followed by Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, while Sunday is the day the system is least used. | Somary mahavariana ny mahita fa ny alarobia no be mpampiasa indrindra ny Ecobici, arahin'ny alatsinainy, talata, alakamisy, zoma ary ny asabotsy, raha ny alahady no tsy dia misy mampiasa indrindra ny fitaovana. |
19 | Even if it sounds like an ideal program, not every cyclist in Mexico City supports it. | Na dia heno ho tahaka ny tsara aza ny fandaharana, tsy ny mpivoy bisikiletan'i Mexico no mankasitraka ny azy. |
20 | In the blog Prosa Poderosa (“Powerful Prose” an anonymous blogger explains [es] why he is against the “Ecobici” strategy: | Ao amin'ny bilaogy Prosa Poderosa (“teny manankery”) no manazava [es] manazava ny anoherany ny teti-panoron'ny “Ecobici” ny bilaogera iray tsy nanonona ny anarany: |
21 | To put it clearly, I applaud the Ecobici initiative, but I am against the organized cycling rides. | Aleo apetraka mazava fa tehafako ny fandaharan'ny Ecobici saingy toheriko ny fiaraha-mivoy. |
22 | I am against them because I don't think an organized Sunday ride is a contribution to educating future generations of cyclists, who will have to use the bicycle as a means of transportation, perhaps on a compulsory basis. | Toheriko ry zareo satria heveriko ho tsy hanatsara ny olona ho lasa taranaka mpivoy rahampitso, izay hanao ny bisikileta ho fomba fitaterana, angamba ho tsy maintsy atao, ny fiarahana mivoy bisikileta amin'ny alahady. |
23 | The mistake of the current strategy (if you can call it a strategy, since consequences were not considered) to organize bicycle rides is that people will inevitably associate bikes with recreation, leisure and exercise, not as a serious means of transportation. | Ny fahadisoana amin'ny paikady amin'izao fotoana izao (raha lazainao ho paikady ilay izy ka tsy heverinao ny mety ho fiantraikany) amin'ny fiarahana mitondra bisikileta anie ka horaisin'ny olona ho miaraka amin'ny fiaraha-mitsangatsangana, fialamboly sy fanatanjahantena ilay izy fa tsy heveriny ho fomba fitaterana matotra. |
24 | He continues: | Notohizany: |
25 | To reinforce the stigma of ‘recreational' cycling, it is implanted in the minds of users since the time of purchasing a bicycle, as these are usually found next to a kayak or a treadmill, in the sports section of department stores . | Efa atao ao an-tsain'ny olona mety hampiasa azy hatrany amin'ny fotoana nividianana ny bisikileta ny fampieritreretana azy ho sokajin'ny fitaovana ‘fialamboly' rehefa mipetraka matetika akaikin'ny kayak na karipetram-pihazakazahana, any amin'ny sokajy fanatanjahantena eny amin'ny tsenam-barotra. |
26 | If it was already difficult enough to separate the bike from its ambiguous status as a street obstruction or a traffic pariah, these organized rides will not improve that image, nor will users become aware that the bicycle is a vehicle subject to the same rules that cars are subject to. | Efa sarotra ny manavaka ny bisiliketa amin'ny satany manahirana heverina ho mpanakantsakan-dalana na ahilikiliky ny fifamoivoizana, tsy hanatsara izany endrika ahafantarana azy izany itony fiarahana mivoin'ny daholobe itony, ary tsy mahatonga ny zatra azy hahalala bebe kokoa fa eo mihatra aminy ihany koa ny lalàna ampiharina amin'ny fiarakodia. |
27 | Nor will cyclists get the respect they demand from drivers of other vehicles. | Sady tsy hahatonga ny fanajana tadiavin'ny mpivoy bisikileta amin'ny mpitondra karazam-piarakodia hafa. |
28 | On Twitter, Mexican cyclists also expressed their concerns on World Bicycle Day. | Maneho ny ahiahiny amin'ny Andron'ny Bisikileta Manerantany ihany koa ny mpivoy bisikileta Meksikana ao amin'ny Twitter. |
29 | Cesar Toledo (@CessarAndroid) [es] wrote about how he feels every time he rides a bike: | Manoratra ny zavatra tsapany isaky ny mitondra bisikileta i Cesar Toledo (@CessarAndroid) [es]: |
30 | # YoAndoenBici (“I ride a bike”) and risk my life because drivers do not respect us | # YoAndoenBici (“mivoy bisikileta aho”) ary mitaninon-doza ny fiainako satria tsy manaja anay ny mpamily |
31 | Mexico City's Government (@GobiernoDF) [es] also used Twitter to inform citizens of the progress of cycling route “20 de Noviembre”: | Nampiasa ny Twitter ny Fiadidiana ny tanànan'i Mexico (@GobiernoDF) [es] hilaza amin'ny olona ny fandroson'ny lalana ho an'ny bisikileta “20 de Noviembre”: |
32 | The building of cycling route “20 de Noviembre” has advanced by 80%. | Efa mandroso hatramin'ny 80%ny famitana ny lalana azo ivoizana “20 de Noviembre” . |
33 | It will encourage the daily, massive and safe use of the #bicycle | Handrisika ny fampiasan'ny daholobe isan'andro sy voaaro ny fampiasana #bisikileta izany |
34 | Finally, the hashtag #HistoriasDeBicicleta (“Bicycle stories”) has become popular throughout the day as users narrate their cycling adventures in 140 characters. | Farany, nalaza teo amin'ny mpisera nandritra ny andro ny fampiasana ny tenifototra #HistoriasDeBicicleta (“Tantaran'ny bisikileta”) rehefa mitantara ao anatin'ny tarehintsoratra 140 ny niainany rehefa eny ampivoizana ny mpisera. |
