A fiery bike ban in Como, Italy, has ignited national debate after the mayor—after being personally struck by an electric bike—ordered all bikes off historic streets. Critics call it a personal vendetta, arguing the ban unfairly impacts delivery workers, tourists, and eco-conscious residents, especially since many roads are wide enough for safe cycling. Cyclists plan a protest ride in September, while politicians push to overturn the law. The mayor stands firm, citing safety concerns and comparing his move to actions taken in other cities after serious accidents—even though he wasn’t hospitalized. The controversy underscores the tough balancing act between urban safety and sustainable mobility.
