Paris cycle lane blocked two mornings a week for market deliveries - although the vans stay put once they've delivered.

Parisian white-van-man quite often chooses to block the road rather than the cycle lane when delivering. To the right is a lifting bridge over the Canal St Martin, and a footbridge - there are quite a few of the latter, but none seem to hav ... [more]

Parisian white-van-man sometimes stops half-blocking the cycle lane - cyclists naturally tend to go around the outside, even when the gutter isn't flooding.

Bikes must be pushed through the Parc Villemin in Paris - a shame there isn't a proper cycle track, as it's a key link between the Gare de l'Est (and the Gare du Nord) and the cycle route along the Canal Saint Martin.

Tuesday 9am and there are no Vélib bikes left in the stands near the Gare de l'Est or the Gare du Nord.

Rue de Saint-Quentin at Boulevard de Magenta, Paris - pedestrian and parallel cycle crossings.

Boulevard Magenta, Paris - cycle track, bus lane (with cycles banned) and crossing.

The Les Halles/Beaubourg pedestrian zone, Paris - bikes are not banned, but they're not specifically provided for, either.

Paris has made a major investment in hire bikes. They seem to have forgotten to paint them green though, and you need to pay before using them...

Another full Velib stand near the Bastille in Paris, with a cycle track in the foreground, and across the road the Maison Roue Libre, a city/RATP cycle rental project.

Monday 9am and all the Vélib stands in the Bastille area of Paris are full, with people anxiously hoping I'd take a bike and leave them a space - but it was a major disincentive for me that I might myself not be able to leave my bike where ... [more]

Parking for 'Deux Roues' (two-wheelers) - just one bike. Despite the current mini-boom in cycling, Paris is still addicted to the internal combustion engine.

Cycle route from the Ile de la Cité to the Ile St-Louis, Paris - but oddly enough only in one direction.
2111 metres
The riverside expressways are closed to motor traffic on summer Sundays. We'll know Paris has cured itself of its addiction to the internal combustion engine when that's the case all week long!

Contraflow cycle lane in Paris (and bus and cycle lane on the other side of the road) - beyond the road is the Viaduc des Arts (or Promenade Plantée), a former railway line which is now a linear path, but alas cycle access is not possible.
