New Study Shows How Paris Pedaled Its Way to a Cycling Revolution | Momentum Mag
Not long ago, Paris was known for its traffic jams, not its bike culture. The city’s grand boulevards were lined with honking taxis, delivery vans, and inching commuters. Cycling through central Paris meant weaving between buses and scooters—a bold choice reserved for the fearless few.Fast forward to today, and the transformation is astonishing. The French capital has quietly—and quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency “coronapistes,” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent cycling network spanning hundreds of kilometres. Paris is now a place where parents ferry kids to school by cargo bike, where commuters glide past the Seine on protected lanes, and where the sound of gears clicking often replaces the blare of horns.
And the numbers prove it’s more than a passing trend. A new study reveals that cycling traffic in Paris has increased by 240% between 2018 and 2023, while car traffic has steadily declined. In central districts, more than one in ten trips are now made by bike—a remarkable shift for a metropolis once synonymous with gridlock.
“Paris is an incredible example of how a city can transform when political will meets smart data,” says one of the report’s lead authors. “We wanted to understand exactly which factors made this happen.”

Hätten frühere Regierungen nicht den Ausbau der Windkraft und Photovoltaik abgewürgt, Stromnetzausbau verpennt, immer mehr Bahnstrecken stillgelegt und in der Folge die Hersteller aus dem Land gedrängt sowie die Ausbildung von Fachkräften haben einschlafen lassen, könnte die Industrie längst in großem Maß von echter Zukunftstechnologie profitieren statt sich an Gasheizungen und Verbrennungsmotoren zu klammern.

Analysis: "Israel's biggest con trick: Hiding the true numbers it has killed in Gaza"
In addition to direct deaths from Israeli bombs, vast numbers of Gazans have been "indirectly" killed through starvation, disease, & destroyed homes, water, electricity, sanitation & hospitals.
The indirect toll is likely four times greater than the direct toll, ie, at least "350,000 killed in Gaza through Israel’s actions."

Israel has penned us all into a 'debate', one entirely divorced from reality, that relates only to those killed directly by its bombs and gunfire – not the genocide it is waging by other meansJonathan Cook

Now that 2 cons have switched to the Grits, 1 to Ind, and one gave notice, it's opening the floodgates. It leaves the possibility of 1 more crossing to the Libs, giving them the majority. With the Environment Minister leaving, the whole Lib party is shifting right. This could be the ndp's only chance to stop that 3rd Con crossing, and at least make sure that 171st seat is held by a "Lib" (at least in name)
