This is actually making me want to visit Paris.
I never seriously considered visiting Paris before, because to me it was just another western city choked by cars. In fact, I go to other countries with the intention to move around using bikes and public transit, and I'm disappointed if it's not possible.
So, since the city and the mayor started to "roll out the red carpet" for bikes, I'm much more tempted to go there. It seems more pleasant. I would rent a bike, slowly explore the city, and see how they are transforming it to be more human.
Also, I speak French natively and it's been pretty entertaining to see all the comments on social media from pro car people. One thing that came up frequently was that removing cars and replacing them with bikes would "wreck Paris".
