The hills up to Belleville or Montmartre are a challenge for anyone on a 3 speed velibe, I don't blame anyone for wanting to ride down rather than up.

Not sure, mostly the hills are not too bad, but those bikes are pretty heavy! Maybe the French are just very lazy? (or smart?)

Well, that's OK, speaking as an "expat" Taswegian, I can safely say there are no hills in Melbourne ;-)

I note in Paris the bike hire scheme works well. Except that all the bikes end up at the bottom of the hills, and they need to send a truck around to collect them to move them back up to the top!

So Sid Rajan plans to ride the Nullarbor on a unicycle.
His PR claims he will be the second person to ride the Nullarbor on a unicycle (it also claims that Perth to Adelaide is 4000km, but we won't quibble over a thousand km error, will we?)

They don't work, do they?

Traffic lights, signs, signals, they just don't work.
Waiting at the lights, facing a red, and they don't change.

And you wonder why cyclists ride against red lights.

I'd support a 'Don't Ride the Red' campaign, but the traffic lights must respond, all of them, first!

And why do lanes stop, and not restart, even when there is road room?

And don't get me started on wayfinding!
