Developing an EU Cycling Strategy (debate)
Mr President, I would just like to draw your attention to the fact that one of the most striking things when it comes to cycling is that they are the biggest offenders on the road. I'll talk very quickly and explain it to you. So, yesterday I was in the pedestrian zone in Strasbourg, one of the cyclists hit me, I was with my back, then he cursed me and left. They think they have exclusive rights. I can give you an even more striking example if you want. In Sofia, because an ambulance was waiting for a dying man from the fourth floor, because there was no elevator and they had to take him down in their hands, he cut all four tires of the ambulance. So I would very much like to finally put the number on all the bicycles so that you can know who is what kind of offender. I am not talking about the one in Bulgaria, simply because I think he is a psychopath.
