I hope to spend some time there later in the year and it could be an awesome way to work a bit and get to know the city.
I didn't see any. I only saw a handful of SS bikes, and no fixed bikes... then again, downtown Paris is where, exactly? There are all sorts of motor scooter deliveries. I saw no track bikes used on the streets. Most people have commuter bikes, and they are far to practical to bike fashionable.
BTW- I wouldn't exactly call the messenger thing "huge" in the US.
If you don't speak French- god help you find a job- of any sort.
You can take your bike on the RER, but not the Metro.
