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.

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.

Cycle route from the Ile de la Cité to the Ile St-Louis, Paris - but oddly enough only in one direction.

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.

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!
