A resident of Manlleu has voiced their disagreement with new measures aimed at raising funds through fines for bicycles and scooters on the commercial promenade.

The complaint, made public via the citizen's mailbox, questions the priority of these sanctions, arguing that pedestrians often encroach upon bike lanes and cycle paths with impunity. It also points out the danger posed by dogs on long leashes and people walking side-by-side.
The citizen laments that bicycles are seen as the main problem, while streets remain congested with cars, thus discouraging the use of more sustainable mobility alternatives. The general feeling is one of disconnection and difficulty in circulating freely.

"Let's see if with the money they collect they at least invite us to a barbecue."

The note also mentions several streets in the town such as Sant Segimon, Avinguda de Pius XII, and Rbla. del Hospital, suggesting that the issue of traffic and mobility is widespread.
