Cyclists in Rome navigate beauty, danger and broken roads | AFP

Descrizione:

Wobbling on rented bikes near the Colosseum, Rome's cyclists try to dodge barriers, potholes, and avoid being sideswiped by passing cars. Thousands of people explore the Italian capital daily on two wheels, despite the city offering just 321 kilometres of cycle paths and having a reputation for chaotic traffic. The regional head of environment association Legambiente Roberto Scacchi, an advocate for better cycle infrastructure, says that despite Rome making progress since Covid, it still lags far behind other European cities.
