Like most countries in the world France is trying to protect 2 wheeled road users. Motorcycles are always in danger of not being seen and accidents are often ugly. In recent years major French cities have started using Velibs or public rental bicycles. The Velibes make it easy to travel around major cities but they present a danger to motorists and themselves. France has just started a campaign to watch out for all travellers in two wheels while driving. Keep your eyes open at all times.
