Are you really suggesting Paris might be short on bicycles now?

You might want to rephrase this as "In Paris".

Here is my advice: go somewhere else than Paris, one of the 15 biggest cities in France (look at the TGV, and tram, bike life, weather). Your quality of life will just skyrocket.

Paris is not bike friendly (much better than a decade ago of course)
