Abstract

Since its widespread appearance in the Paris region, the bicycle has been a notorious player in urban mobility, with many ups and downs in its use and in the implementation of the infrastructure that makes it possible. In a context of climate emergency and the urgent need for alternatives to polluting modes of transport, the French capital and its metropolitan area are formalising their model of pedalling mobility in a coordinated and coherent manner with the territory. In order to characterise the evolution of cycling infrastructure, attention will be paid to the frameworks of interest for cycling mobility (efficiency, safety, competitiveness and inclusivity) and the current state of the built cycling infrastructure will be analysed from the prisms of geographical support, territorial accessibility and the urban activity around it. This way it will be possible to understand the logics that articulate cycling mobility in the Parisian metropolis and its prospective.
