意大利领先的报纸之一洛杉矶Repubblica曾掌握ECF成员Fiab的Contraflow骑行运动。随着Fiab在表达骑自行车的人的需求方面变得更大，意大利发现自己成为一个自行车友好的国家。

以下是英语摘要，您可以阅读完整的故事in Italian here。

多年来，意大利骑自行车联合会Fiab支持了逆流循环。它已经成功地应用于意大利的几个城市。然而，意大利运输部仍然阻止了迄今为止的逆流自行车道的广泛扩散，称其认为它们“危险”，并且与交通法律不兼容。

这个话题甚至是头条新闻。在洛杉矶的La Repubblica中，骑自行车的人本人佛罗伦萨记者伊拉里亚·辛蒂（Ilaria Ciuti）最近将该主题置于众人瞩目的焦点。Ciuti呼吁在运输部开设一门新课程，这应该导致对Contraflow自行车的完全接受，她说这在意大利城市的历史中心尤为重要。

The topic is very timely for several reasons. The first is that cycling is increasingly popular in Italian cities, where users are often forced to adopt contraflow cycling in a "do- it-yourself" fashion due to lack of cycling infrastructure. The second reason is that Italian municipalities, the Ministry of Transport and FIAB are currently negotiating the revision of many cycling rules.

ACI（意大利汽车驾驶员协会）的主席也加入了辩论，但有一个奇怪的论点。他说，意大利驾驶员比欧洲同行更“分心”，这将使意大利的逆流骑自行车与所有其他欧洲国家相反。

意大利汽车司机认为自己对其他道路使用者危险并不能阻止Fiab促进逆流骑行。相反，相反：协会正在举行一次会议'Cycling in Europe: How to Make a Country Bike Friendly' (in Rome on February 14). The aim of the conference, ambitious for sure, is to draft a law on more bike friendly rules of the road - and contraflow cycling - to be presented to the Parliament in spring.

凭借所有这些活动和运动，包括提案和倡议，难怪Fiab一直在制作头版新闻。
