Plus de mille personnes ont assisté à Paris au congrès de la Fédération des usagers de la bicyclette jeudi 27 et vendredi 28 février, espérant prouver que le vélo, malgré des revers récents, reste un mode de déplacement d’avenir.
The bicycle sector is facing challenges with declining sales and usage, despite hopes for recovery. A recent conference in Paris brought together participants aiming to demonstrate cycling's future potential, despite recent setbacks. Sales of new bicycles dropped by 10-15% in 2024, and cycling usage growth slowed to 1% in urban areas and decreased by 3% in peri-urban and rural areas. Poor weather was cited as a contributing factor.
