There are lots of (rather worn) Advanced Stop Lines in Arles, unlike many French towns - but no access lanes to reach them.
45 metres
Cycle link from the main highway east of Arles towards the youth hostel, rather crudely closed off to motor vehicles - but the abandoned railway to the right might soon make an excellent link to Van Gogh's Bridge and towards the Camargue.
132 metres
Cycle route signage on the main approach road on the east side of Arles - no mention of the cut-through to the youth hostel (see #14516).
150 metres
The Rencontres Internationales de Photographie, perhaps Europe's biggest photography festival, in the former railways workshops in Arles - and precisely no cycle parking.
272 metres
The former railway workshops redevelopment area in Arles - with this bridge ready to be opened up for cycling, crossing the railway and a newly tarmacked road to nowhere (at present).
330 metres
Very faded cycle track in Arles, diverted to suit new car parking arrangements.
342 metres
Cycle contraflow in Arles - all that metalwork is an accident waiting to happen.
452 metres
New track alongside the abandoned railway south from Arles towards Van Gogh's Bridge and the Camargue - sharing the bridge over the N113 ring road.
879 metres
Many French cities boast bicycle renting schemes. They seem to be well accepted and work well. The bicycles are sturdy (heavy) and don't go far but are properly equipped and very robust.
33634 metres
'Pedestrian zone - deliveries 0600-1000' - so why not clear away all that metalwork?
37500 metres
Instructions on a typical French rental bike (here in Aix-en-Provence). All instructions on the bike, the stand and the screens were in French only. (Click onto the picture to zoom in and read.)

Most major French cities now have a Vélib-style cycle hire system - this one is in Aix-en-Provence. It's called V'hello - a pun on vélo (bike).
67827 metres
The Col de la Bonnette, the highest road pass in Europe - support van and cyclists from an Amsterdam cycle touring company, drinking and putting on windproof layers before the descent.
189252 metres
Designer interpretation of the Sheffield Stand. This stand helps to avoid that bicycles flip over.
192114 metres
South side of the Col de la Bonnette, the highest road pass in Europe - all the major French alpine cols have kilometre markers that show altitudes and gradients as well as distances. (approximate location)
193113 metres
Cyclist climbing the Col de la Bonnette, passing derelict Maginot Line barracks.

It's not only Britain that has cycle lanes that are far less than any useable width.
210611 metres
No signs to stop cyclists using this pedestrian crossing and footbridge in Briançon - preferably pushing the bike.
210860 metres
Traffic calming in the old town of Briançon - drawbridge, portcullis, rising bollards and a water channel (actually for fire-fighting).
211789 metres
A "Bi Bici", which is a single, folding bike with tandem features. It has a second saddle at the very rear end with an extra pair of paddles right on the rear wheel (note the second chain from rear to front).
