The IU-Greens councilor in the city of Murcia, José Ignacio Tornel, today confessed "not to believe" the statements of the Councillor for the Environment, Adela Martinez-Grip plate on bike theft in the city.

Tornel considered "a clear demonstration of look the other way" attitude Martinez-Grip plate to complaints "permanent" by the business about bicycle theft.

"We're talking about a criminal activity located in the center of the city, where we can all think of a safety margin for the influx of people and some vigilance."

For IU-Greens councilor, the councilor responsible for the development of the bicycle as a means of mobility "can not avoid this issue, the less justify in increasing users of this means of transport."

According to Tornel, "the last thing cyclists need is to be laughed at them, arguing that more bicycles is logical that most robberies occur."

"I just hope, for the good name of the city, that this reasoning is not part of the official discourse in the international forums flaunt president of the Network of Cities for the bike".

He called for a "change of mentality" in the heads of the Office of the bicycle to understand the "severe damage" to the user losing their means of transportation in a city "doomed to inefficient public mass transit."

Another reaction "unacceptable" the councilor in charge is, in the opinion of Tornel, defending the system of registration and marking, seen daily discredited by the wave of robberies.

"Users know the black market where they can try to recover your bike. Registration stays in one formalism to the gallery and these forums where we do not know what we can boast."

Furthermore, he assured that the effect "deterrent" of the label against theft of bikes announced by the Office of the bicycle is a fact that the councilor unreal refuses to see from the front.

"We ask Mrs. Martinez-Cacha a thorough review of the circumstances in which Bicitrónic system develops, it may that the problem lies not only in the result of this system but also in the management of it from municipal responsibility."

In short, "much remains to be done in terms of mobility through the bike, and the politics of self-promotion and advertising complacent increasingly further away from the needs and problems of bike users," he added.
