If I'm not mistaken the goal of 100% cyclable Paris is limited to the city of Paris which has half the area of Amsterdam. AFAIK there's a lot less interest in cyclability in the surrounding areas of Paris and they are somewhat annoyed because a lot of people from there commute to Paris by car.
- jtwaleson 4y agoHalf the size of Amsterdam? I had to look this up but you’re right. The “City of Paris” has 2M inhabitants and 105 sq km. Amsterdam has 0.9M inhabitants and 219 sq km. Learned something new, thanks :)
