According the
publication DW-WORLD.DE (access www.dw-world.de) on January 04, 2010 two in
each ten inhabitants from Bonn City (Germany) use the bike as the main way of transport
and the bicycle is the principal way of transporting of 9% of germans. In all
Germany territory about 78 millions circulate, one time and half the quantity
of cars from the country, meanwhile the three first that produce bikes in the
World are: 1º China, 2º India, 3º Brazil (www.revistaaluminio.com.br).
The bicycle developed much during the years, before it was
done of carbon-steel, after passed to assembling with scandium (aluminium more
scandium compound developed by NASA – is lighter than a bike of carbon-steel),
becoming lighter and resistant, becoming more ecologically correct. Nowadays
there´re bicycles so light and fast that can reach incredible velocities as a
bike considered in 2008 year the most fast in the World, in this case Sam
Whittingham pedaled the Varna Diablo III in 132 KM/H or 82.33 mph (see in www.youtube.com),
using only the human propulsion united to the technology. Therefore one travel
can be planned considering the speed that reaches a bicycle. The registration
of innovations from bikes can help us to have faster, cheap and ecological
transports, helping to preserve our Planet.
