Be it for recreation, health benefits or sport, cycling is becoming increasingly popular and with that the demand for safe places to cycle. Recreation – cycling is being enjoyed by a broad demographic of people in Dubai wishing to pursue in an outdoor lifestyle that is both healthy and sociable. The number of riders seen riding as parts of groups and major cycling events in Dubai is testamanet to this. Sport – The number of cyclists engaging in cycling as a hobby or competitive sport is expanding rapidly, with a growing number of local Emirati riders joining the cycling community with local clubs and a national team making an appearance in recent years. Commuting – As new roads in Dubai are being designed with cyclists in mind and the RTA rolls out bold plans for improving cycling safety, the ability to use cycling as a sustainable alternative to car use in cooler months for commuting is more possible. Place Dynamix are designing streets across the Middle East that are conducive to safe, shaded and connected cycling.

  • Implementing Sustainable Construction Practices in Dubai – a Policy Instrument Assessment
    Master Thesis in Built Environment (15 credits) Implementing Sustainable Construction Practices in Dubai – a policy instrument assessment Marco Maguina Academic Supervisor: Catarina Thormark Spring Semester 2011 Master Thesis in Built Environment Implementing Sustainable Construction Practices in Dubai – a policy instrument assessment Author: Marco Maguina Faculty: Culture and Society School: Malmö University Master Thesis: 15 credits Academic Supervisor: Catarina Thormark Examiner: Johnny Kronvall Maguina, Marco 2 Master Thesis in Built Environment SUMMARY Recognized as one of the main obstacles to sustainable development, climate change is caused and accelerated by the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from all energy end-user sectors. The building sector alone consumes around 40% of all produced energy worldwide. Reducing this sector’s energy consumption has therefore come into focus as one of the key issues to address in order to meet the climate change challenge. Implementing sustainable construction practices, such as LEED, can significantly reduce the building’s energy and water consumption. Prescribing these practices may however encounter several barriers that can produce other than intended results. Since the beginning of 2008 Dubai mandates a LEED certification for the better part of all new constructions developed within the emirate, nevertheless the success of this regulation is debatable. This thesis identifies the barriers the introduction of the sustainable construction practices in Dubai faced and analyses the reasons why the regulatory and voluntary policy instruments were not effective in dealing with these barriers. Understanding these barriers as well as the merits and weaknesses of the policy instruments will help future attempts to introduce sustainable construction practices. To put the research into context a literature review of relevant printed and internet sources has been performed.

    Husqvarna Enduro Team by CH Racing Team-Presentation 2012 Content Husqvarna: the story of enduro Husqvarna Enduro Team by CH Racing The Team Riders o Matti Seistola o Lorenzo Santolino Sanchez o Ricky Dietrich o Juha Salminen o Alex Salvini o Romain Dumontier o Andreas Lettenbichler Races 2012 The bikes o Husqvarna TE250 Factory o Husqvarna TE310 Factory The Sponsors Husqvarna: the story of enduro Husqvarna is a synonym for enduro. Before the term enduro was coined every country had its own name for the sport. The first European title in "regolarità", as it was called in Italy, was taken by Husqvarna in 1982 with Italian Gualtiero Brissoni in the saddle. After several European titles were taken by iconic names such as Thomas Gustavsson and Sven Erik Jonsson, in 1990 the sport was given the title World Enduro Championship by the FIM and Otakar Kotrba won the honour for Husqvarna, the first in a long series. To date Husqvarna has taken 49 world enduro titles and a total of 82 in motocross, enduro and supermotard events in the company's 100+ year history. Enduro is endurance, in all conditions with special tests over different types of terrain. Both rider and bike must reach the finish line after many hours of off-road trails without any external assistance apart from the brief time controls. It is the experience gained from these victories that has produced the Husqvarna enduro series, which year by year incorporate the technical advances made on the tracks. In 2012 Husqvarna will officially compete in the Enduro World Championship, represented by Team CH Racing, and will also be present at major national events in Spain, France, Germany, UK, Italy, the U.S., Australia and Japan.

EXTREME SPORTS AND EXTREME LIABILITY: THE EFFECT OF WAIVERS OF LIABILITY IN EXTREME SPORTS Amanda Greer INTRODUCTION Imagine that a skier in a base jumping competition is about ready to jump off a cliff. Once the skier jumps off the cliff, usually the bindings of the skis will come off and the parachute will open, enabling a safe landing. However, in this situation, the bindings of the skis come off, but the parachute fails to open. The skier subsequently crashes to the ground, sustaining extremely serious injuries that leave the skier para- lyzed. As a result of the injuries, the skier files an action against the sponsors' involved in putting on the competition, claiming that they were negligent in giving him a defective parachute. The sponsors as- sert that the skier signed a liability waiver barring all claims, even negligence.
