        Huh, that’s a bit surprising to me. I moved from a small non-highway connected town last year, and there was a pedestrian and bike path the entire 32 kilometre way from that town to the bigger nearby city.

        Wonder how many bike that distance. Honestly must be a really nice path to bike in the summer.

          I’d say the problem is more bad bike paths than no bike paths.

          Nowhere near as bad as in the US, but many places still have bike paths that just suddenly end, painted bike «gutters» on busy streets…

          Overall it’s pretty good, but quite inconsistent.

      France, while still seeing progress, is heavily car-focused. You’ll see car streets in cities that can barely fit an Aygo. I only know as a tourist, though, so it might be better in areas I haven’t visited.
