“A city’s bike network should be equivalent to the road network,” says American academic Marcel Moran.
“Paris is a useful case study because it hasn’t previously been considered a bicycle haven, but its rate of change has been dramatic. Its starting place, not that long ago, is quite similar to where many cities find themselves; where there’s some level of bike infrastructure but many gaps and many shortcomings.”Instead of interviewing planners, he mapped what they had built in Paris, including during lockdown.
“Hidalgo has said look at who owns cars in Paris; it’s largely men. Most Parisian transit riders are women. She has felt comfortable making changes [to Paris] because she is fighting for the rights of non-car-travelers, who are often lower-income, more often minority, and more often women.”“The stats show that cycling is increasing,” says Moran.
And there’s little shunting of cyclists onto back streets. Paris is building bike lanes on major thoroughfares because that’s where people want to go.
