Thanks to the policy of the Paris City Council, the bicycle is gaining ground. On top of the 200 km of bicycle lanes, the additional 70 km of bus lanes are also accessible to cyclists.
Cycling routes and rules
On Sundays and public holidays, some of the Seine expressways and canal roads are reserved exclusively for pedestrians, cyclists and rollerbladers. However, if you want to breeze along happily with your nose in the air, make sure you keep in mind the highway code (fines are always possible), and don’t forget the necessary equipment: bell, 2 brakes, sidelights and insurance. The wearing of helmets is strongly recommended. And get yourself a good anti-theft device.
