They call it ‘cycling’. I saw a woman on a bike in my native Milan do it just yesterday: brazenly pedalled through a red light onto a roundabout on the inner ring-road, almost ran over me and my dog as we crossed the street on a zebra crossing with a green light. Swore at us for having the temerity for forcing her to swerve to avoid hitting us. I’m a hardcore pedestrian (walk everywhere, 20/30 km a day every day) and I am so fed up of this kind of behaviour. They complain and they misbehave.

I used to live in Bologna where for the first time in my life I saw a cyclist start crossing on a red light, going over a total of 4 lanes in high traffic. Meanwhile in my current city the authorities appear to promote cycling because it draws attention away from the sorry state of public transport, with frequent tram derailings. Unfortunately they occasionally lump cyclists and pedestrians together in the process, degrading my walking experience considerably.
