Mayor bans bikes in city center after incident
The mayor of Como has announced a ban on bikes in the city's medieval centre, effective from September, after being involved in a collision with an e-bike. The regulation affects about 30 streets, requiring cyclists to dismount and walk through these areas, citing safety concerns amid busy tourist activity. The decision has sparked criticism from residents, politicians, and cyclists, who argue it limits low-cost, environmentally friendly transport options and targets specific streets unnecessarily. The mayor defended the move, emphasizing public safety following his personal experience with a bike accident.
