Question 34113 — cycles and motorcycles

Summary

Mr. Luc Geismar draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Ecological Transition, responsible for transport, to the future of the bicycle boost, and, more broadly, to the Government's bicycle plan. The cycling boost now encourages the French to turn to sustainable modes of travel, which also reduce the risk of contamination. The cycling plan thus responds to a double challenge: respect for barrier gestures and environmental transition. This plan was a great success, with in particular 800 and 1,000 bicycles repaired in mid-October 2020 thanks to the system, and bicycle repairers report full order books, beyond the end of 2020. The extension of this bicycle plan appears necessary, due to the second confinement that the country is experiencing, and the importance of continuing the fight against the coronavirus by everyone the means available. In addition, the desire of the French to increase their travel by bicycle must be encouraged. This is why the MP is asking the Minister about the possibility of renewing this system beyond December 31, 2020. In addition, certain aspects of this plan could be strengthened, in particular by improving the training sector for bicycle mechanics, which is facing increasing demand. It thus attracts attention from the Minister on the importance of increasing the number of training schools, to meet the increasing needs for qualified people in this field. The proliferation of bicycles finally requires ensuring the safety of users, and their cycles, which is why he alerts him to the need to extend the helmet obligation for all, and questions him about the feedback on bicycle marking, and about ways to improve this system.
