Málaga resident Sergio Bravo, who always cycles to work, apparently thought it was a joke when two policemen, also on bicycles, stopped him on the Paseo Maritimo Pablo Ruiz Picasso at La Malagueta and gave him a ticket for exceeding 10 kph.
But it was no joke and he now has a €60 speeding ticket. The municipal ordinances state that bicycles can only be ridden on walkways and paved areas, considered pedestrian zones, and where there are no specific lanes marked out, if they travel at under 10 kph.
