The survey revealed a surge in daily commuter cyclists in central Paris, rather than Spandex-clad professionals commonly associated with cycling events like the Tour de France. It also confirmed that walking and public transport remain the most popular ways to travel in the city. Notably, there is a significant change from five years ago as cyclists now outnumber motorists for journeys from the suburbs to the city centre.
