Ne we had talked here: The new law on bike racks is making many citizens angry.
On the well-known Change platform, there is a petition from a user who wants to unite as many signatures as possible in order to make our voice heard by the Minister of Transport. These new regulations represent an additional economic burden and limit freedom of movement given that these regulations would affect, and are already affecting, many citizens.
Further insult: the new rules are totally different from those in force in the rest of Europe. In fact these rules apply only to Italian citizens, not to foreign ones. Sign this petition if you also believe in the need to change this legislation.
