I just hope that they don't vote for a right-wing, pro-car, climate-change denying party and mayor during the next election. It's just how things seem to be going across the EU.

To be honest the cycling here is a bit of organised mess. You have to get the vibe of it as it was explained to me. Real problem starts when you want to get outside of Paris because it is so f*ing big, it is half day of riding through suburbs before you get out.
