Talking on a mobile phone while driving, even hands-free, gives you similar reaction times as a drunk driver.

Paris is transforming itself into a greener city.

Recently, Paris residents voted in favour of making 500 more streets pedestrian. Thanks to major investments in walking and cycling infrastructure, the city has become one of the friendliest for active mobility.

Imagine if your commute to work or school was this fun!

When planning transport networks, we often focus on getting from A to B as fast as possible. We shouldn't lose sight of how fun and enjoyable riding a bike can be.
