"

Pedro Lopez recalls that "the bicycle is the means of transport cleaner and healthier than there, so it is an obligation of municipalities to promote its use not only for leisure but also becoming a priority that citizens will get a bike to work enjoying the lovely Mediterranean climate Murcia. "

Pedro López explains that the model adopted in Murcia the number of users is equal to the bicycle, using these in most cases only for leisure.

"All this makes the system adopted in Murcia, by itself, can not be regarded as a public system to move in a timely or everyday, and it is neither visible, nor conducive to quick access to the service, or you can move with bike the city by not segregated lanes and shared traffic, or allow us to leave the bike in an environment close to our destination for lack of public bike parking. "

For this reason, Pedro Lopez believes that "it is necessary to make a change to the model adopted in our city that allows, as happens in other cities, greater fluency in their use and existing bikes can be shared by other users. "
