Brno, Aug 9 (BD) – Only obvious wreckages and bikes obstructing public paths are to be towed. “After today’s City Council meeting, cyclists will be able to relax a bit. Firstly, the Department of Transport has assured the City Council that it will only be removing bicycles with missing parts and obvious wrecks, or ones that obviously impede movement [of cars, other bikes, and pedestrians] or threaten safety,” wrote Deputy Mayor of Brno Martin Ander on Facebook on Tuesday.
The first four bike wreckages were towed on Tuesday.
