A total of 60 kilometers of bike paths were made to link all of the Games' competition venues together. These lanes now link Parisian monuments. Ten thousand bike rack spaces were also added to existing ones and three thousand additional Vélib' bikes were put into service.
Do you dream of reaching the Parc des Princes from the center of Paris? Or pedaling to the new Arena at Porte de la Chapelle? The spotlight was on cycling for these Olympic and Paralympic Games as all competition venues will be connected by bike paths. It makes cycling in Paris one of the main legacies of the 2024 Paris Games.

A 60-kilometre-long cycling network thus linked all of the Olympic venues. In Paris, nearly 30 kilometers of this path will be built between now and the Games. All cycle paths are equipped with dedicated signage. Lanes within the vicinity of these venues were fully decked out in Paris 2024 colors and iconography to really emphasize the Olympic spirit that is spreading through the capital.

These major routes are being kept on as part of the legacy of the Games and are now part of everyday life for Parisians. New tracks serve Porte de la Chapelle and its new Arena and another one links the center of Paris to the famous Parc des Princes stadium! In Seine-Saint-Denis, a new track also takes you to the Stade de France via the Saint-Denis canal.

10,000 extra bike rack spaces
Another positive legacy of the Games: 10,000 temporary bike rack spaces will be installed near and around Olympic venues. After the Games, these racks will be moved to sports centers, schools and municipal facilities around Paris.
3,000 additional self-service bikes
A consultation process was launched with Parisian service providers to increase the number of bicycles available during the Games. The Autolib' Vélib' Métropole syndicate committed itself to purchasing 15,000 bikes to renew and expand its fleet, representing a net increase of 3,000 self-service bikes.

The Seine-Saint-Denis département's 100% cycling plan developed a cycling network on all 342 kilometers of the department's roads. 130 kilometers of the network are now cyclable, and a further 25 kilometers to come.
In addition, Plaine Commune opened 20 kilometers of bicycle paths between now and the Olympic Games.
These new facilities allowed locals to get to and from the Olympic venues, as well as between Paris and Seine-Saint-Denis. Three thousand permanent bike rack spaces were also be created around the Stade de France between before the Games.
