Biking in Paris dangerous ? Not at all! With its 12000 “vélibs” and over 600 miles – and counting – of bike lanes, Paris is quickly becoming the perfect biking city. Instead of traveling from monument to monument through dark metro tunnels, you can visit cosy and village like neighbourhoods like Saint-Germain-des-Près and the Marais, or the trendy “East” around the Canal Saint-Martin. In fact there are plenty of quiet streets everywhere! Biking might well be the best way to discover the city.
