The house arrest has been partly lifted, the deconfinement has been launched, but the authorities have warned us: if we are not wise, if we do not discipline ourselves, the coronavirus will have a field day and we will have to return to their homes. For daily life, in addition to masks, eye protection and hydroalcoholic gel, there is another tool that keeps Covid-19 at bay. And it’s the motorized two-wheeler!
If you want to have fun at coronavirus, take a motorbike or scooter. We must be convinced, this means of transport has never been so relevant. From Italy, the boss of the LCR-Honda team that is Lucio Cecchinello assures: “ we realized that Motorcycles are the perfect vehicles to ensure recommended social distancing during daily travel. I believe that it is also an opportunity to introduce or rediscover to many people the practical advantages of a two-wheeled vehicle other than the incredible feeling of freedom that only a motorcycle can provide. »
An approach shared by the FFMC national as well as FEMA (Federation of European Motorcycle Associations) which reminds us that the use of 2 motorized wheels makes sense: smoother traffic flow due to its small footprint, compliance with barrier measures made easier due to motorcyclist equipment (helmet, gloves, jackets, distancing social during transport), limited parking encroachment.
The motorized two-wheeler has a card to play
Motorized two-wheelers then become a logical transport in the new mobilities that are emerging, with the individualized transport that is expected in this particular context that is this Covid-19 health crisis.
In this May 11, France is deconfined. We also have to regain the reflexes of a congested road to share. The French Federation of Angry Bikers of Côte d’Or therefore calls for the greatest caution on the roads: “ having continued to use country roads to go to work, I noticed an increase in the number of wild animals along the roadside. There is no doubt that it will be necessary to be extra vigilant during the first days. » tells on France Bleu Christelle Audigier, departmental coordinator.
The FFMC21 reminds everyone to use common sense in these complicated times: sharing the road, respecting all users and respecting barrier measures for the well-being of the community.
