It's leisure cycling that's not allowed. I have a Dutch bike which I use to carry shopping. Clearly not a leisure ride, hard work actually. I see many locals use bikes to commute locally. Not everyone who rides a bike is a leisure tourist !
How long till this evolves into martial law?
Er there is a kid riding a bike in that picture, in front of the army and police, which isn't allowed. I guess its only foreigners that get fined ?
