Its purpose is to frame the debate between the options of segregation of the cycling infrastructure and the integration of the bike on the motorized traffic. The text analyzes the profile of the people who use the bike in those countries that often serve as a mirror of the policies cyclists, that is to say, that are considered references of success to follow, and it contrasts with the profile of users that exists in Latin American cities.

Analiza el perfil de las personas que utilizan la bici en los diferentes países que suelen servir de espejo de las políticas ciclistas, es decir, que se consideran referencias de éxito a seguir, y lo contrasta con el que existe en las ciudades latinoamericanas. Esa masiva presencia de bicicletas que tienen algunas ciudades y áreas metropolitanas puede ser un espejismo de la movilidad sustentable, pues en los ejemplos más conocidos sigue habiendo un uso dominante del automóvil. Esa paradoja sirve de llamada de atención sobre el riesgo de no contextualizar adecuadamente el papel de la bici en el seno de las políticas de movilidad sustentable.  Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2018-10-26 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/5325 10.34096/rtt.i19.5325 Revista Transporte y Territorio; Núm. 19 (2018): (julio-diciembre) - Ciclismo urbano; 57-80 1852-7175 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rtt/article/view/5325/4746
