    Thank you

    I’m not convinced I agree that banning them was the solution but I suppose their infrastructure wasn’t ready for it. I’m not entirely anti car, but a similar statement could be made there “driving through pedestrian areas, frequently causing accidents and deaths, leaving them sitting for hours at a time blocking access”.

      There was a major investment in bike lanes, but many people were being twits and knocking people over and fleeing the scene.

      When they did ban there were quite a few angry people, particularly people who worked late at restaurants and used them to get home quickly without worrying about being bothered or taking late night buses and metros. After reading their opinions I would have to say I agree with you, banning may not have been the answer.
