Over the past few years, the use of bicycles in the city has continued to increase. This strong increase has led to the implementation of numerous projects in the city, for the great pleasure of our cyclists!
But then, what are these initiatives set up by cities? And how can they be beneficial for our cyclists... We tell you everything! If you are still hesitating to start cycling, you won't have any excuse after reading this article!
THE TREND!
Bicycle paths
Having become a must in the major cities of Europe, bicycle lanes have clearly become a part of French people's daily lives in a sustainable way!
Subject to many criticisms, especially from motorists, these zones dedicated to cyclists are a godsend for all bike fans who want to ride safely. Since 2019, the French government has already invested more than 365 million euros in cycling facilities. A figure that will continue to increase.
THE LITTLE HELP
Bike subsidies!
One of the real ecological objectives of the last few years is the limitation and reduction of gasoline-powered vehicles, especially cars. Bicycles are therefore one of the major alternatives to this popular mode of transportation.
That's why the French government has set up a subsidy to initiate the purchase and use of a bicycle. A help that will make you happy, and that will be good for your wallet and for the planet!
Choosing a bike is good... Choosing a well-equipped bike is better!
