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.

🚲 Thank you to colleagues Vélogik for sharing CIE Shared Ambition Report, which analyses the potential for bike sharing in Europe, benchmarking 148 cities! Among its various insights, the report, written in collaboration with MegaBITS_EU, offers a clear picture about the promising prospects of bike sharing and serves as a valuable tool for decision-makers. Presenting strategic benchmarks for the effective implementation of bike sharing schemes among European Cities. 🌍 Read the full report to understand how European cities can improve their bike sharing services and explore how increasing Europe’s bike sharing scheme by 200,000 additional shared bikes, could lead to a potential reduction of 250,000 tons of carbon emissions per year! 🌳   See the full report below 👇 https://lnkd.in/e6DNfdZD

Le territoire desservi par BIXI Montréal ne cesse de s'accroître. Développer le service hors des quartiers centraux est un priorité pour notre équipe permettant à un maximum de résidentes et de résidents de la région de Montréal d'avoir accès au vélo en libre-service. "Closing the Cycling Gap: Examining Equity Implications of Montreal’s Bikesharing Network Growth" aborde la croissance de cette couverture territoriale : https://lnkd.in/enk2khuV "our research looked at why certain neighborhoods in Montreal received new bike-sharing stations and others did not. We found that areas which traditionally might have been overlooked—those with lower incomes and more diverse populations—are now being focused on. This means the expansion is not just about adding more stations, but about making sure they're added in places where they can benefit everyone, especially those who haven't had as much access before."

For Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, ever bigger and heavier cars are a threat to the environment. According to this expert, the Paris initiative to surcharge SUV parking could be extended to other major European cities.

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.

When it comes to operate a bikeshare system, working with the right people can make such a difference.
