Are bicycle tours in Paris safe?

Yes, bicycle tours in Paris are generally safe. This is largely because the city has put serious money into cycling upgrades.

Today you can ride on many kilometres of protected lanes. These segregated cycle lanes help keep riders away from cars and lorries. Tour guides also help you stay safe. They usually give you properly serviced bikes. They encourage riders to wear helmets and bright clothing. Most groups pick quieter streets and flatter parts of the river area. They often choose back roads and spots close to cars. They also steer clear of busy junctions such as the Arc de Triomphe.
