Paris becomes more bike-friendly

'All over Paris, streets have been dug up and cut in two, and old paving stones overturned to build dozens of miles of bike lanes.'
'Ugly craters in the asphalt signal work on the electrical grid, the urban heating system for big buildings, the subway and regional transport, and of course the city's miles of protected bike lanes.'
'Visitors and residents alike can now glide for miles along the river banks on a bike, protected from the cars by granite separators, or all the way across the city, from Concorde to Bastille, beating the gridlocked traffic. Ms. Hidalgo is aiming for more than 600 miles of bike lanes by next year, up from around 400 when she started.'
'Paris, meanwhile, has risen in the list of bike-friendly cities to eighth place from 17th since 2015.'
