Seemingly Paris has done a great job over the past 2-3 years.

Paris has done great in climbing up to a bit more than 15% of daily trips by bike.

My point is: even the bicycle capitals of the world (Amsterdam, etc) have equal car and bike trips per day, and it's taken a long time to get there.

IMHO, San Francisco's Telegraph Hill neighborhood with it's 31.5% grade will take longer than Paris to become bike friendly.
