Employees in countries like France and the Netherlands can bump up their wages by leaving their cars at home and cycling to work and Spain is about to follow suit. The European Union, as part of its Covid recovery programme, has made funds available for schemes such as “By bike to work” which is about to be wheeled out in Mallorca and across Spain.

There needs to be a real proper think about personal mobility in and around Palma. Many people have opted for electric scooters to get around, but where is the provision for them alongside cyclists (and pedestrians)? That’s a lot of competing commuters trying to navigate through restricted lanes and routes, and not entirely compatible with each other in terms of safety.
