Scans for pictures L01-L10, P01 by John Allen (Thanks, John).Being that these pictures were taken mainly when the temperature was in the low single digits (Celsius), there were few cyclists on the road. However, in some cases, where vehicular practice diverged from the paint, I saw cyclists riding vehicularly. For example, at the Orsay ramp (P08), while I was taking the pictures, I saw a woman cyclist (normal clothing, riding a traditional French bike (large wheels, short wheelbase, swept back bars)) cross over to the next lane before the start of the ramp, rather than following the bike lane to the signal. Similarly, on a one-way street in front of the Centre Pompidou, there was a shared bike-bus lane on the right with raised reflectors on the outside of the lane. A cyclist, dressed in normal clothes, riding a traditional French bike passed me on riding on the left side of the street.
