Cyclists in the pedestrian zone of Can Picafort: Who protects the most vulnerable here?

Answer

Why is cycling in busy market areas in Mallorca a safety concern?

Busy market zones bring together pedestrians, children, older people, shopping bags and temporary stalls, leaving very little room to react if a cyclist enters unexpectedly. In places like Can Picafort, even a short ride through a crowded pedestrian area can lead to panic, falls or collisions.
