As Santiago’s transportation infrastructure took a beating following weeks of protest and violence, many Chileans have found another way around: bikes
SANTIAGO - Chileans are increasingly turning to bikes to get to work after weeks of rioting have hobbled Santiago’s metro system, destroyed hundreds of stop lights and left broken glass and debris littering its once-orderly streets.
Though protests have simmered down in recent weeks, the damage to streets, squares and the metro remain. Traffic is regularly snarled at downtown intersections that now have no stop lights and where motorists must fend for themselves. “Before the crisis ... 450 cyclists per hour passed through here at peak commute,” he said. “Immediately after the crisis, that quantity has doubled, to 900 per hour.”
