Bicycle Utopia: Free Bikes in Paris! {Gadling}
May 22nd 2007 3:25PM it truly was a great day, i'm glad you liked the piece. One thing i would add to what i wrote is this-
Lyon's infrastructure was ready for the system, there are bikelanes everywhere, and the regeneration of the banks of the Rhone has been specifically moulded to accommodate lanes. As far as i know, Paris is not a bike-laned system in the way that Lyon, Amsterdam and Copenhagen are.
but perhaps it will be a chicken and egg thing- Lyon is continually adapting for the bikes, and for the system to work properly in Paris they will have to also. either way, it will be quite a change!
