Parisians have access to 197 km kilometers of bicylce paths inside Paris and 23 km in the Boulogne and Vincennes woods. At the same time, temporary operations to stop traffic on some streets are continued. These streets are reserved on Sundays and public holidays for pedestrians, cyclists and roller-blades.
The first phase of the cycle plan has focused on the main axes of the capital, and a more rational network has been set up using a North-South itinerary (Porte de Pantin / Châtelet / Porte de Vanves) and an East-West itinerary (Bois de Vincennes/Concorde/Bois de Boulogne). A non-council commission of elected representatives, technicians and associations has studied them. It includes bypass links and a vicinity networking to connect districts. Today, 220 km of bike paths are available. A leaflet ("Paris à vélo") is available in district town halls and in Hôtel de Ville. It shows a map of the bike paths and gives practical information. |
