Klaus-Gerd GiesenP.S.: What's more, the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/bike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bike</a> lane, already ridiculous in itself, is strewn with <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/detritus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#detritus</a> , <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/glass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glass</a> ,and other objects that can't be avoided, because there's simply no room. In addition, when <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/wind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wind</a> exceeds 80 km/h, which must happen quite frequently, the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/SaintNazaire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaintNazaire</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/bridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bridge</a> is closed to <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/cyclists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cyclists</a> and <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/pedestrians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pedestrians</a> .Why are the authorities of the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/PaysDeLaLoire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PaysDeLaLoire</a> Region putting <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/biking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biking</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/tourists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tourists</a> at risk, when it would be easy to avoid it by just removing one of the three <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/car" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#car</a> lanes?
