Bicycle is not good for Taxi. I think that public bus, train, bisycle and private car should be forbidden sow that everyone could go with Taxi on Mallorca. This will create alot of Taxi jobs. Infact also waliking should be forbideen. Better to go with taxi. Safer.
Great so we got more cyclists that block roads cause havoc and no benefit to anyone apart from the all inclusive hotels they stay in, if they do stop on route they take over the bar spend a couple of euros each on coffee and water!!!! That's really going to replace the couple that want to rent an apartment go to local super market, then pop into a bar for couple of gin and tonics and spend More money than 10 cyclists without the hassle !!
More di...heads in perv licra pis..ing on people’s property !!!
Well -I thought we had bike 'saturation' this year. Seems like it's going to get a lot worse next year. And a great benefit for the hoteliers as usual. What about making them pay for the trouble the cause on the roads? Try getting around Alcudia, Playa de Muro, Can Picafort, Sa Pobla, Pollença etc. when they come 'en masse'. Then there is the fouling of people's properties to consider. I suggest to make all cyclists pay €50 on entering the island - for a pass which lasts a year - (not an eco-tax - but a circulation fee that includes a contribution towards roads maintenance and environment.) Plus €50/week as insurance so that in case of accidents they are not a burden on IBSalud. If administratively not possible - get the profusion of cycle renting & support companies to do their bit and collect it. After all we are all living under Biel's Legacy - control, control, and even more control. (Sorry - had to mention him - life is quiet now that he's gone!!!)
Great ☹️
Let us hope they observe the road rules better than they have so far?
