Abstract

The frequent use of motorized transport occurs for several reasons, among which we can highlight: safety, agility and comfort. The advancement of technology has contributed to this fact taking on even greater proportions. This makes other transportation options less popular. The consequence of this is the high number of vehicles circulating, especially in large cities, leading to an increase in polluting gases in the atmosphere, which is harmful to the environment and health. A great alternative is to use a bicycle as a way of using economical and healthy transport. The bicycle is not only an alternative for urban mobility, but it can also bring many benefits, such as: improving well-being and promoting healthier experiences. However, to become a sustainable means of transport it would be necessary to increase cycle paths and install bicycle racks, so that their use can be integrated with other means, always valuing education and especially traffic safety.
