Primarul din Bacău le dă o replică ieșenilor: „Nu mai sunt piste în Iași. Veniți la Bacău, avem 44 km!” • Newsweek România

The mayor of Bacău invites cyclists from Iași to visit, highlighting the absence of bike lanes in Iași after their removal in July. Bacău boasts 44 km of bike paths, and banners at Iași's entrances promote this message. The removal of bike lanes in Iași was due to non-compliance with new regulations. Bacău's mayor, Lucian Viziteu, insists this is not a political attack but a promotional effort. Senator Marius Bodea criticized Iași's mayor for the situation, suggesting that the lack of bike lanes has made Iași a target of jokes. The Iași city hall has not yet responded to the banners.
