From the article on the Citizen After the wounding of a hike last year, a campaign to ban the shooting along the river Adda Cyclists want to win back the dozens of fans to walk against the hunters' We want cycling routes to be left alone. "
A year after the accident Spagnolello Pina, president of Ciclodi says firmly the right of cyclists to travel the Belgiardino Park, this year for the first time prohibited from shotguns, and more. "In 2008 I had been shot in the arm by a hunter just outside the park, but are not the only victim: other people I tried the same experience and have finally decided to tell the tale, having become aware of what has happened to me. "
An incident then became a symbol of the struggle against Ciclodi hunters, which places the initiative "Stray Shots". Held yesterday, was not only a memorial ride along the route where the accident occurred, but has become an opportunity to obtain new results. After winning the imposition of the ban on hunting in the area of \u200b\u200bthe event by the Province of Lodi, Ciclodi asks to ride safely in all paths along the river Adda Park South
In this regard, Pina Spagnolello and many other cyclists have begun to "rang" in protest from the start in Piazza Castello, throwing firecrackers to play a few shots of the hunters. The ride has been directed at the Muzza and then go north, covering a total of twenty kilometers. An initiative in a playful way, from the moment the president was wearing a helmet and safety goggles before even starting to mock proposal of "erecting a plaque at the point of the shot." However, they are lacking of severe criticism against the hunters: "There is no respect for the rules because if there is an obligation to shoot from behind and at a certain distance from roads, they must do this. " The protest is not only disturbing but hunters (and warning of its presence) with the ringing, but it becomes a real challenge when cyclists break the rules, passing them off-limits areas as wildlife reserves hunting. "With this we show how the months of September and October are ideal in terms of climate for this type of rides, which are however bound by prohibitions because these are precisely the months of starting the hunt." Ciclodi it aspires to attract attention and create a future project, to be able to ride along the banks of the Adda, avoiding the usual runs alongside the busy streets, "away from the noise and danger of gunfire."
