According to the Observatoire du Vélo report 2017 there were 28,151 cyclists on the roads last year.
About 64.1% of cyclists were men, 34.1% women, and 1.8% children.Half of bike users ride without a helmet.
Among the people who took up cycling for the first time in 2017, about 70% were previously public transport users and 20% started to use bikes instead of cars. Most of the new cyclists on the streets last year were aged between 25 and 39.
Many of the bicycle parking areas near metro stations are becoming too cluttered. With some parking spaces at more than 80% capacity, the city needs to enlarge these areas, allowing more bicycles to be chained up for the day.
