“Starting September, all Parisians will be biking!”And as her mandate approaches its end, it seems as if the Socialist mayor's 2015 “Bike Plan” is starting to bear fruits. Since September 2018, the number of cyclists in Paris has increased by 54 percent, according to numbers Le Parisien obtained from the mayor’s office. In 2018, road detectors registered an average of 1,030 cyclists daily. This means more people are biking than driving a motorcycle or scooter (420,000 rides daily). Hidalgo's ultimate goal is to make Paris the world's number one bike capital.
