How to find space for bike lanes in clogged cities
Like you, I’ve read the stories about Paris and its urbanist transformation in recent years, and I’ve been inspired to see the photos of all of those cyclists flourishing on Paris’s new bike lanes. But one thing I had always wondered: How, in a dense, busy city like Paris, did they find a way to squeeze bike lanes into those streets? Here’s the answer.
Big thanks to Camille Hanuise of Paris en Selle for sharing her wisdom and experience, even on a day when it was rainy and windy.

A huge thanks to my sponsors this year. They support this channel, so please support them. They also make amazing products that I use every day and endorse without hesitation.
Priority Bikes: I happily rode the Priority Continuum Onyx through many Canadian winters before they signed on as a sponsor:
Two Wheel Gear: My favourite bike bags and panniers, and the best convertible backpack-pannier that I’ve ever used:
Buy my book Frostbike: The Joy, Pain and Numbness of Winter Cycling:
I don’t really do proper product reviews, but here are some products that I’ve tried on this channel that I like. (Of course, you don’t need anything fancy to ride a bike, other than a bike, but these are Amazon affiliate links, and I get paid a small commission if you buy them 😉)
• If you ride a bike in the city, you need a good lock. Litelok is a good option:
• If you wear a helmet and like to be well-lit, consider the Lumos:
• Hindsight sunglasses have mirrors so you can see behind you while you ride. Plus, they look good:
• Love these RedShift Acrlight Smart LED Pedals:
• Crane Bicycle Bell (the ding is sublime):
• Bicycle Cargo Net (why did it take so long for me to buy one of these?):
• Vaude Cover II Rain Poncho (for higher-end, try Cleverhood or People’s Poncho):
• Peak Design phone case (the one I use, paired with the Peak Design phone mount):
