Jürgen Gerlach Bergische Universität Wuppertal Fachbereich D - Abteilung Bauingenieurwesen Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Straßenverkehrsplanung und Straßenverkehrstechnik Pauluskirchstrasse 7 42285 Wuppertal [email protected] Aktuell sind in Deutschland zahlreiche Radschnellwegprojekte zu verzeichnen. Radschnell- wege sollen bei Investitionsaufwendungen, die je nach Planungskonzept, Voraussetzung und Anzahl von Brücken und Tunnel zwischen rd. 0,5 und 2,0 Mio. Euro pro km liegen, ein zügiges, attraktives und sicheres Radfahren in einem Entfernungsbereich von bis zu rd. 20 km gewährleisten und Verlagerungen insbesondere von Kfz-bezogenen Berufspendlerver- kehren bewirken. Erfahrungen mit derzeit 18 realisierten Radschnellstrecken in den Nieder- landen, zwei realisierten Radschnellverbindungen in Dänemark und enormen Anstrengungen zum Aufbau einer hochwertigen Radverkehrsinfrastruktur in Großbritannien zeigen, dass diese Ziele in bemerkenswerter Weise erreicht werden. Radschnellwege werden insofern auch in Deutschland ein sinnvoller und schon recht bald ein fester Bestandteil des Rad- wegenetzes sein. Status Quo and experience with the planning and operation of cycle highways in the Netherlands, Denmark, Great Britain and Germany Numerous projects of cycle highways can be recorded in Germany at the moment. Cycle highways require investments between 0.5 and 2.0 million Euros per km - depending on the planning concept, condition and number of bridges and tunnels.

More than a quarter of its residents are foreign-born, including significant refugee populations. Lowell is also home to the University of Massachusetts, Lowell campus. One of Lowell’s greatest assets is its commuter rail connection to Boston. The line largely serves as a method to get workers from Lowell to Boston and back home at night. But further analysis shows nearly 50,000 jobs within one mile of a stops between Lowell and Massachusetts.

    Tech Briefs Bottle Helps Riders Attain Optimal Hydration YONKERS, NY—HydraCoach is a personal trainer for indi- viduals who want to gain the health benefits of consuming more water. Its Personal Hydration Calculator calculates a user’s daily Personal Hydration Goal, displays average consumption per hour, monitors the amount a user drinks daily, displays the percentage of fluid consumed relative to the user’s goal and reinforces proper pacing to help a user meet their goal and motivate them to achieve optimal hydration. The soft silicone mouthpiece works like a straw. The durable, polycarbonate bottle also is easy to clean. HydraCoach has been featured in the L.A. Times, and Wired, Women’s Health and Popular Science magazines. It retails for $29.99. Recumbent Bike Combines Cycling, Sailing AMSTERDAM, Netherlands—Whike is a new company that has introduced the Whike 1.0, a tricycle recumbent bike with a sail. Fred- jan Twigt, who has been designing recumbent bikes for more than 10 years, invented the Whike. He’s also an avid sailor, so he thought it would be ideal to combine biking and sailing. The Whike 1.0 takes ad- vantage of the wind to propel itself, but it can also be pedaled if there’s no wind. With the Whike 1.0 users don’t need fuel or batteries to travel larger distances at relatively high speeds, just endurance and a bit of wind. The Whike 1.0 can reach speeds of up to 31 mph without pedaling, according to the company. The bike is spec’d with Shimano and has rear disc brakes.

Indeed, little work has moved beyond the recognition that coherence in this system is important to consider how this may be achieved; particularly in relation to coherent coaching.
