Yes, Paris is quite easy to cycle around. This article, though mostly about plans for new cycling infrastructure, also mentions cycling has increased in Paris in recent years along with the existing infrastructure, some of which is temporary bike lanes added during the pandemic: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-22/how-paris-will-become-100-cyclable https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-22/how-paris...

- noelwelsh 4y agoIf you read the article you would see it claims there are almost 1 million bike journeys per day in Paris. Paris only has a population of about 2 million. Counting the surrounding area brings that up 12 million, but however you cut it that statistic means a significant portion of Parisians are cycling and clearly they feel safe enough to do so.
