The app has registered 9.2 million cycling activities in 2016, and Majorca occupies the top five places in Spain.

Where can I get the Strava report?
The cycle companies run shuttle buses from the airport to the hotels. I wonder how the taxis feel about this?
Spend a few euros on educating them on the rules of the road and the safe roads to follow. That would cheer up everyone else and result in less accidents.
Agree totally with the comments below. They also ride two or three abreast (the locals being the worst offenders IMHO). Plus, money that could be spent on Mallorca's poverty problem...once again, more more more spoiling what was once a peaceful and beautiful island.
Just keep then off the roads in the tourist areas, they're a damn nuisance. They don't obey the road rules, or stop at pedestrian crossing points. Neither do they spend enough money in the bars and restaurants to be celebrating their presence like this.

Jolly good! Let all the cyclists be put up the top end of the island. I'll stay down at the bottom end. Perfect.
