I’ve been living in Paris for the last two years, and for the foreseeable
future, and there’s good and bad about that, but the mayor has been making
converting the city to public-transit/bicycle her main focus, and it’s coming
about remarkably quickly. The road in front of my house has dedicated bicycle
lanes in both directions, and dedicated public transit lanes in both
directions, but is only open to cars in one direction, for instance. And the
Rue du Rivoli is a major thoroughfare that has one lane of public transit and
three lanes of bicycle (meaning, it was a four-lane street which has been 3/4
converted to bicycle, and the last 1/4 is only for public transit).
I have on order, not yet delivered, a Podbike Frikar and a Northern Light 630.
I’ll let y’all know if and when they show up.

In the mean time our primary vehicle is a Tern GSD S00 LX.
