The mayor of Paris had promised to maintain 50 km of so-called “coronapist” cycle paths and she keeps her word.

These cycle paths temporarily dedicated to bicycles during confinement will be "perpetuated" in Paris, Mayor Anne Hidalgo said at the microphone of

Europe 1 on

Wednesday

"We are working on it"

"They will be perpetuated, we are working on them, first of all because they have shown that there are really a lot of users, that the bicycle has really become a means of home-work transport in Paris, and that in addition it helps to lower pollution, ”she said.

The rue de Rivoli, one of the main axes of the capital, will remain open to bicycles and will have "a line reserved for taxis, buses and a certain number of authorized vehicles", she said.
