Iibhayisekile ezityebileyo ezifumana umtsalane phakathi kwabakhweli beebhayisikile kwiNqila yaseSonoma

Xa uthi krwaqu nje, ibhayisekile etyebileyo ibonakala ngathi yikhathuni ekhwele i-oughta, amatayara ayo amakhulu, adumbile ngandlel’ ithile ebonisa izihlangu ezinkulu zefloppy kubafana abaneminqwazi emincinci kakhulu.

Umenzi webhayisekile etyebileyo ohamba phambili, uSurly, ude athengise umphetho wevili obubanzi obuyi-intshi ezi-4 ebizwa ngokuba yi “Clown Shoe.”

Kodwa kwiminyaka elishumi okanye kunjalo ukusukela oko inkampani esekwe eMinnesota yaqala ukuzisa ibhayisekile etyebileyo kwintengiso enkulu, iifreyimu ezinobunzima obunamavili atyebileyo, amaqhina afumene ukuthembeka kwihlabathi lokuhamba ngebhayisekile - nangona abalandeli besithi bathanda kakhulu ukukhwela ngenxa yokuba. bamnandi kakhulu.

“Kufana nokuba neminyaka emi-4 ubudala kwaye ukhwele ibhayisekile yakho yokuqala,” utshilo umhlali waseSanta Rosa uSebastian Brewer, unozakuzaku owaziwayo wamafutha.“Kuyamangalisa ngokwenene.Iyacaphukisa, iyaphambana.”

Ukusuka kwiibhayisekile zokwexeshana ezidityaniswe kuqala kwiigaraji nakwiindibano zocweyo, ikakhulu ngabakhweli beebhayisikile kwikhephu emantla belangazelela ukuphuma ngamavili amabini ebusika, iibhayisekile ezityebileyo ziye zafumana ngempumelelo i-niche kwindawo eqhelekileyo, ngakumbi phakathi kweebhayisekile zeentaba ezifana neBrewer.

Amatayara awo abanzi, anoxinzelelo oluphantsi abonelela ngenqwelomoya ebanzi yokunxibelelana nomhlaba, enikezela ukubamba, ukutsaleka okuphezulu kunye nokufunxa ukothuka ngelixa evumela ukudada esantini, ikhephu kunye nodaka, kunye nokuzinza kwindawo enamatye okanye enamatye, nokuba kukude kakhulu. izantya eziphantsi.

Nangona iseyinto entsha kwindalo iphela enabantu abaninzi beebhayisekile zendlela ezibhityileyo kunye netrim, iibhayisekile zeentaba ezinemisipha, iibhayisekile ezityebileyo - ezinye ngoku ezinamatayara ukuya kuthi ga kwi-intshi ezi-5 ububanzi - kuxelwe ukuba lelona candelo likhula ngokukhawuleza kwintengiso yebhayisikile.Zifumaneka kwiimveliso ezininzi, kumaxabiso amaninzi, nakuwo wonke umntu osuka kwiivenkile zebhayisekile ezibonelela abantu abaninzi abasebenzayo ukuze banciphise iivenkile ezifana ne-Kmart.

Umhlali waseWindsor, uMiguel Suarez, oneminyaka engama-36 ubudala, uthe wayesazi nje ukuba wazama malunga neminyaka emibini edlulileyo ukuba wayethandana.

“Bendithengela ibhayisekile … ndizama zonke izinto ezintsha,” watsho.“Ndakuba ndifumene laa bhayisekile ityebileyo, ndaqonda ukuba yile nto bendiyifuna.

Iibhayisekile zokuqala ezityebileyo kumgca wexesha lokuzivelela kuthiwa zavela ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1980, imveliso yemfuneko kunye nokuveliswa kwenzala yayo, kunye nokuvela kwezinto ezintsha zabakhweli beebhayisikile abaye babamba iirim eziqhelekileyo kunye namatayara ukuze bakwazi ukukhwela isibini kunye nesithathu- ilungelelene kwikhephu, umkhenkce kunye nentlango, idala umkhondo obanzi onokuthi uzigcine zingaziki.

Iimvavanyo zakwangoko zavela kakhulu eAlaska, kumdyarho we-Iditabike owaqalwa ngo-1987, ekugqibeleni waphumela kwimveliso esulungekisiweyo, enye emva kweminyaka elishumi elinesiqingatha.

Ekugqibeleni, kwafika ivili elibanzi kunye namavili akhokelela kwi-2005 ekukhululweni kwe-Surly's Pugsley, ibhayisekile yokuqala efumanekayo yorhwebo.

Abavelisi baqhubekile nokutyhala imvulophu, bevelisa amavili amakhulu, ububanzi bamathayela ahlukeneyo kunye neendlela, besongeza ukunqunyanyiswa okupheleleyo kwiifreyimu eziqinileyo.

Ngokubanzi, iibhayisekile ziye zatyeba, ngoko ke iimodeli ezintsha "zifana nendlovu, iibhayisekile ezityebileyo, enyanisweni," utshilo uMlawuli oyiNtloko weSonoma County Bicycle Coalition uGary Helfrich.

UHelfrich uthe ukhwela itayara eli-3 1/2-intshi ebanzi, kodwa uthi amanqatha okwenyani "akwelo nqanaba unethemba lokuba umhlobo wakho osenyongweni uya kuyithenga, ukuze uyiboleke."

UTim Anderson, umphathi wemicimbi karhulumente kwi-Sonoma County Water Agency, uthe wabona ibhayisekile yakhe yokuqala etyebileyo eTruckee malunga nonyaka odlulileyo kodwa wacinga ukuba i-62 yayindala kakhulu ukuba ibe yi-trendsetter.Umhlobo wam wamqinisekisa ngenye indlela, kwaye kwinyanga edlulileyo wathenga enye ukuze asebenze kuhambo lwakhe lokuhamba phakathi kweFountaingrove kunye neofisi yakhe kwiZiko loShishino lweSikhululo seenqwelomoya, emantla edolophu.
“Ndandiwulungele umbono omtsha,” watsho uAnderson.“Zininzi iindlela zokukonwabela ukukhwela ibhayisekile, kwaye la ngamava amatsha ngokupheleleyo.Ndiyonwabela kakhulu.”

Ibhayisekile, nangona icotha kancinci kunendala, nayo ilungile xa kufikwa ekujonganeni nenduli yeenyawo ezingama-500 kufuneka akhwele endleleni yakhe egodukayo.

“Inezixhobo ezirhubuluzayo ezisezantsi ngenene, phantse njengetrektara.Ndiyakwazi nje ukusila induli ebusuku ngaphandle kobunzima obuninzi,” utshilo.

Ingqwalasela yabadlula ngendlela iyonwabisa, ngokunjalo.

“Abantu beza kum ngeemoto zabo, baze baqengqe ecaleni kwam baze bathi, Ngaba uyayithanda?Abantwana abakhwele iibhayisekile zabo xa besiya esikolweni bawangawangisa ngam baze bancume.… kubemnandi ukufumana yonke ingqalelo.”

Ayithengiswa wonke umntu.

UYannick Calvez, oneminyaka eli-18 ubudala, usebenza eCotati's Hub Cyclery kwaye wathi wazama ibhayisekile etyebileyo iinyanga ezimbalwa kodwa ekugqibeleni wayithengisa.Yayinamavili ayi-3-intshi kwaye "yayingumsindo" ukukhwela, kodwa yayingaguquguquki njengoko wayefuna.

“Abona bantu bazithanda kakhulu iibhayisekile zabo ezityebileyo,” utshilo uRaphael Sonstein, umphathi wetekhnoloji kwiMike's Bikes ePetaluma, “oku akusiyo ibhayisekile yabo yokuqala.Yinto nje eyahlukileyo, kwaye yindlela endiyithatha ngayo loo nto. "
