PARIS - At rush hour, there are more bicycles than cars on certain representative roads in the capital. It's a phenomenon visible to the naked eye: more and more cyclists are taking to the streets of Paris, and the facilities are becoming increasingly limited. Although Paris may not have become the "capitale mondiale du vélo" promised by its mayor, Anne Hidalgo, the number of cyclists using the city's cycle lanes has soared, doubling between 2022 and 2023 during rush hour.

Do you want to know more on cyclism tourism in Belgium? (And do you speak French or Dutch? 😗) Follow our webinar about the news of cycling tourism in the 3 belgians regions and have some inspiring good practices from abroad!

Encouraging news from Belgium and it's capital, Brussels: more people than ever are using #publictransport and #cycling to commute to work, and fewer people are driving cars. What's more, people particularly use a combination of these two modes. Nationally, nearly 40% of people travel to work on #bicycle or with a #micromobility device like e-scooters. In Brussels, 18.7% travel to work by bike; most people in the capital use public transport. More here 📰 https://lnkd.in/e5qTF9SN And here 📰 https://lnkd.in/eava6KvP What I find really astonishing is that this is despite people living quite far from their workplace. Nationally, people live on average 20km away from their work; in Brussels, the average is 13km (!). Cycling 🚲 and public transport 🚋 is an effective combination - win!

Here is a refreshing reminder that "We don't ride bikes here" offers zero impediment to rapid vehicular cycling adoption: 25% of French citizens regularly travel by bike in 2024, up from just 3% in 2019 (Just 5 years!). Whereas the first 4 years rates of adoption were gentler, in 2023 participation increased a phenomenal 48%. What happened from 2022 to 2023? The flashpoint. Cities continued on the same long-term project of providing fair and equal space for light transport. Perhaps the cultural awakening finally came that life was better and more pleasant when light mobility was given equal provision; people realised the illogical and excessive car use that had been culturally normalized was making life less pleasant that it could be. This curve is far from flattening out, with a number of telling indicators: - a majority of male users (31% of pop) vs female (19% of pop) shows this; mature multimodal cultures like the Netherlands see 29% female 27% male participation. - the age participation of French urban cyclists trends middle aged; 34% of 11-34 y.o. vs 14% of 65-85 y.o. In the Netherlands, it is the opposite: the elderly (65 ) and youth (6-18) ride the longest average daily distances (over 6km) and the majority of all trips. - 8% of respondents to the French study ride an eBike. This is a lower penetration rate (showing huge value potential for french retail!) than the Netherlands, where 23% of riders use an eBike. Side note: That said, just 12% of all bikes in the nehterlands are ebikes (the 23% use vs 12% rolling fleet figure is possible because many Dutch have a city as well as one or more recreational bikes). The Netherlands' percentage of eBike sales keeps rising year-on-year, showing that this 12% is very far from a saturation point. Article in french.

A look back at the cycling mission to the Netherlands: taking inspiration to the next level ⚡   🔦 After a trip by the French delegation to discover the Dutch ecosystem around #activemobility, here are the #keypoints that were drawn from the experience:   ▪ #infrastructure is the key to developing everyday bike use: it's regular, safe, visible and comfortable, and enables use even in poor weather conditions ✔   ▪ Thinking of bike paths as #networks and not one by one is essential for a better #development of public space and to encourage bike use 💡   ▪ Beyond the luxurious nature of #bikeparkings, these are #practical and #connected: they are usually located in train stations and offer repair and maintenance services 🔧   🤔 To find out more about the secret sauce behind the Netherlands' success in increasing the modal share of cycling in this way, take a look at our article: https://lnkd.in/egbANREU

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 Innovation, reliability, sustainability - these are the core pillars of our journey. 🚀 Today, I'm thrilled to unveil the complete e-cargo bike with the trailer, and it's more than just a vehicle. It's a symbol of change, progress, and a sustainable future. As we gear up for the upcoming Smarter Mobility Africa summit next month, we're excited to showcase how these innovative vehicles can revolutionize urban deliveries, reduce emissions, and make our cities more livable. E-cargo bikes can help lay the foundation for an e-bike sharing system, making cycling a popular and mainstream mode of transportation in our country. 🚲 But that's not all! 🌍 By deploying these e-cargo bikes, we're not only reducing carbon emissions, but we're also addressing issues like youth unemployment. 🙌 These bikes create opportunities for meaningful work in the last-mile delivery sector. Moreover, they can play a pivotal role in addressing the lack of cycling infrastructure in our cities and townships, making cycling safer and more enjoyable for everyone. 🛣️ Together, we're not just transforming transportation; we're building a greener, more sustainable future. 🌱 Stay tuned for more images and join us on this incredible journey towards a better tomorrow! 🚀 Stroom e-Cargo Bikes Shovebike Raymond Rampolokeng Ivan May Alexandre Gauquelin David Szafir Etienne Louw #greentransport #sustainability #urbanmobility #ebikerevolution #smartmobility #greentransport #micromobility
