A daring new bike ban is rolling out in Como, Italy, starting September — after the mayor himself got clipped by an e-bike. Now cyclists must dismount and walk through 30 downtown streets, while cars and vans face tighter restrictions too, all aimed at managing tourist traffic.

It’s a bold move echoing similar bans in Palermo and Paris, sparking debate over freedom, safety, and urban life.
