The Paris cycling infrastructure is freaking non-efficient. And dangerous. Pedestrian and cycling zone are way too mixed, accidents between the two are very easy. Now, pedestrians hate cyclists and cyclists hate pedestrians. You cannot cycle freely because the cycles paths are a kind of bigger pedestrian path. The only place where you could use the bike in an efficient way are bus paths (also including taxis). It's interesting but not really secure as buses are very disrespectful with bicycles. The political action is a fail in the case of Paris, because they did it only to say let's see, we did something for you, but they didn't created what would have been a real political answer to give a better space for pedestrians and bicycles in the streets. The streets are owned by the cars, even the amount of space used by parked cars in Paris is scandalous, and they won't change anything about this. They don't want to take the risk of loosing pro-cars electors and it is a pity. People who use bikes try to conquer this space, but it is far too dangerous, and almost nothing is possible once cars speed would be reduced by law and people will be educated about why it is weird to use a car in Paris when you got a so good public transport system.
