The bike is back in Paris! New secure tracks have come out of the ground, the December strike has increased the number of cyclis


"It's less polluting", "It goes fast", "I love it". We asked the Parisians, on video, what he thought of the place of the little queen in the capital.

Their look at the return to grace of the “biclou” is rather benevolent. The only downside for the Parisians encountered: road traffic violations by cyclists, who “burn out the lights too often”, as you can hear in our video above, produced with the device designed by Memorec company for Le Parisien in the context of municipal elections.

In one year, the number of bikes jumped 54% in Paris. During the strikes, the mayor of Paris counted at certain hours as many bikes as cars circulating in the capital.

Anne Hidalgo highlights in its balance sheet these new infrastructures for soft mobility, and wishes to go even further. Some opponents, on the contrary, must slow down. The bicycle is already one of the main themes of the campaign for the municipal elections next March. Cycling is fast.
