SocietyComo mayor bans bikes in city centre after being hit by one

Como mayor Alessandro Rapinese will ban bicycles from about 30 streets in the lakeside city’s walled historic centre from September after he was hit by an e-bike. He denies the measure is a personal vendetta, but residents, politicians and cyclists are protesting, while critics say it punishes sustainable transport and delivery workers.
