Paris is not really the paradise for cyclist as proves this article from AP from 28 september 2023
Long a city that embraced cars, Paris is seeing a new kind of road rage: Bike-lane traffic jams and I quote "
Many cyclists, some clearly new and still feeling their way around, seem to think red lights and road rules don’t apply to them." I was almost hit by a cyclist as a pedestrian last time I was in Paris when going to my office. It still doesn't prevent that when people don't stop a red lights they are representing a danger to anyone else safety.As far as car riders respecting cyclists in Paris , it is a half/half true affirmation same goes for cyclists respecting pedestrians.
