Italian mayor faces criticism for banning bikes in city center following personal accident

Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como, Italy, has implemented a ban on both traditional and electric bicycles across approximately 30 streets in the historic district, effective this September. The decision follows an incident in July where the mayor was struck by an e-bike. Under the new rules, cyclists must get off their bikes and walk them through these designated areas. The move has triggered significant opposition from local residents and delivery personnel.
