not sure if this can be of interest to anyone but I have just learnt that a country like Italy, notorius for its extremely chaotic and aggressive traffic, motor culture, narrow roads and little consideration for cyclists has just published a DDL (law proposal) which could be soon discussed in Parliament.
The funny part of this news is that the idea was entirely "inspired" by the Times (Cities fit for cycling) campaign, started on facebook only 15 days before and signed by 6500 people. The points of the law proposal are exaclty the same as the ones proposed by The Times and within 15 days it was signed by 60 MPs!
I copy the link to the article below for the curious ones who also understand italian. Not sure whether this will actually become law and even less sure if it will be enforced knowing Italy but I reckon it is still a good example. If nothing better we can say that The Times managed to inspire other countries? ;)
