Make Paris 2024 the first “100% cycleable” Olympic Games in history. This is the unprecedented promise of the French government and the organizers. At a time of ecological transition, and to relieve public transport, the ambition is to facilitate travel by bike to the fifteen sports venues in the Paris region. But from project to completion, there is a hill to climb. Because making all sites accessible (with the exception of Villepinte, in Seine-Saint-Denis) requires mapping out and developing 415 km of secure routes.
