You can see that the mentally disabled rule the city.

jed, i have seen your carboard ramps as i pass almost every morning from there.

like most things in this country, they are pathetic.

Our local Vivacom, Provadia, has cardboard ramps. It is fairly stiff cardboard but they really must be joking.

There are many pedestrian crossings throughout the town but you wouldn't know it because the lines are barely visible. No one ever stops anyway.

Parking on pavements is the norm. The municipality could make a lot of money, if they started doing something about it. Perhaps they could even afford the white paint for the pedestrian crossings. No, of course, that is too complex a thought process.

the rulers are yet to start showing concern for the ruled. much can be said about organs of state by how they treat their most vulnerable citizens.

cycling around Sofia is actually a good preparation if you want to participate in something like a Paris-Dakar cross country race.

The pavements in Sofia look like the country has been bombed. The streets are worse.

Pavements littered with cars, access to almost every building only by steps. No thought is given to the disabled or to mothers with pushchairs/prams.

EVN in Yambol recently installed a ramp for wheelchair access but forgot to change the doors which open outwards so make it impossible for a wheelchair user to actually into the building as they can't move their chair out of the way of the door. Now the door is jammed open with a ten litre bottle of water. The open door unfortunately is now blocking half of the ramp exit.
