I lived in Paris for a spell, and one of the great things about the city is that it is so bike-able. It's not a large place! And it's dense. Lots of traffic, but the French seem to understand that bikes belong.

We almost never used the Métro, what was the point? Saved money and no one ever stole my wallet!

I take my vélo at least twice a day (to commute) and I still find it far more distressing than taking the bus/métro. No wonder why so few people rides bikes, expect on the week-ends: with all the big petrol cars and aggresive motorbikes, it is still pretty dangerous to ride and not (yet) agreeable. But things are improving so I'm optimist and resigned.
