This is one of the most important commercial streets in Milan, and the cyclepath I’m using has been the topic of harsh discussions since the beginning, with right wing politicians wanting to take it out. The main metro line of the city runs right below this street.

    Genuine question, are cycles allowed to invade zebras in Milán, or are some of those riders just assholes?

      In Italy road rules are generally regarded as mild suggestions. Bikes and motorcycles on zebra crossings, cars engage in junctions even if they are not able to free them before red lights, causing gridlocks, and many things even much worse than that.

      It’s a general problem, but people driving cars as assholes are concretely more dangerous.
