Hot disk rotors are being blamed for causing a forest fire in Vorarlberg, Austria. I think there's more to this story - possibly using it as an excuse to ban bikes from the area?

I read about that earlier. It mentioned that he tried to stamp out the fire?

Must have been an STW mincer to get the brake rotors that hot!

I believe the new right wing coalition have upheld the ban all bikes from everywhere rule but reversed the smoking is a bad idea rule.

I love Austria but they are so backwards in some ways.

Reads pretty straightforward to me, sounds doubtful that there'll be any fall out?
