> #Italy is pushing green #transport like #bicycling but has forgotten to install the #bikelanes”

Italian here, this is simply false. The government has been consistently de-funding cycling project since day 1.

Transport minister is and has always been against cycling and tryes all the time to introduce laws against it

Pogacar is completely right about the topic, he saw what I see every day in Italy: discrimination, violence, anger against people using bicycles

Non è un Paese per bici, l'Italia non investe nemmeno 1 euro per le ciclabili nelle città

Nel testo della legge di bilancio spunta il definanziamento del Fondo per la ciclabilità urbana: dall’1 gennaio zero euro per nuove ciclabili.
