Getting around Paris has become a nightmare during a strike that has seen large parts of the city's public transport system grind to a halt
Some have resorted to, erm, creative solutions. Scooters that appear on apps as"available" and"charged" turn out to be parked in the hallways of buildings, as users keep them close to hand rather than give them back. It's not ideal if you merely wanted to run an errand rather than be charged with breaking and entering.
No longer for leisurely journeys, bike lanes have morphed into highways where speed junkies on electric scooters and cavalier cyclists whizz past more hesitant riders. Helmets are a necessity, but elbow and knee pads are a good idea too. Cyclists give each other tips on which station has free parking slots. Or tell each other when a bike they're about to ride has a flat tire. Or when a hat has flown out of one's pocket while cycling.
