What are cities doing for  cycling?

    In recent years, the use of bicycles in cities has constantly increased. This significant rise has led to many projects being implemented in the metropolis, to the delight of our cyclists!

    But what initiatives have been put in place by cities? And how can they benefit cyclists? We'll tell you everything! If you're still hesitant to get on a bike, you won't have any excuse after reading this article!

    THE TREND!

    Bike lanes

    Bike lanes have become essential in major European cities, clearly integrating into the daily lives of the French in a sustainable way!

    Despite many criticisms, especially from motorists, these zones dedicated to cyclists are a blessing for all bike fans who want to ride safely. Since 2019, the French government has already invested over 365 million euros in cycling infrastructure. A figure that will only continue to grow.

    THE LITTLE HELP

    Bike subsidies!

    One of the true ecological goals in recent years has been to limit and reduce gasoline-powered vehicles, especially cars. Bicycles, therefore, stand out as one of the main alternatives to this popular mode of transportation.

    This is why the French government has implemented a subsidy to encourage the purchase and use of bicycles. A welcome aid that will benefit your wallet and the planet!

    Choosing a bike is good... Choosing a well-equipped bike is better!
