They have already roared their engines on April 10 with more than 200 motorcyclists gathered on the esplanade de Gaulle in Rennes to denounce the technical control, which will ultimately not be applied from January 1, 2022. At the call of the federation local angry bikers, the bikers will put the cover back on Saturday afternoon in the Breton capital.
This time, they warn about the poor maintenance of the roads with a pothole operation which will begin at 2 p.m.
The bikers will then carry out targeted actions in several towns in the south of Ille-et-Vilaine such as Goven, Bovel or La Chapelle-Bouëxic where several black spots have been reported (unlined safety rail, unmarked gravel patches, deformations of the roadway…).
France tumbles in the ranking on road conditions
“Two- and three-wheeled users are particularly vulnerable to damage, which road managers may have forgotten?
“, Denounces the federation of Ille-et-Vilaine in a press release.
She cites a study by the World Economic Forum which reveals that France has gone from first to eighteenth place in eight years on the state of the roads.
And the first symptom of poor road maintenance for bikers is the pothole "that appears when cracks in the asphalt are not repaired".
“These holes are the consequence of poor road maintenance and / or the aging of a coating that should be replaced,” they say.
