The French government has announced that people who are willing to trade in their cars for a bike will be paid up to €4,000, in order to increase active mobility amid rising energy prices. With this approach, France is hoping to increase the percentage of people making daily trips on bikes from its current level of 3% to 9% by 2024. 

This program serves as a great example for other countries to focus on the importance of improving cycling infrastructure and making bikes more readily available to everyone. .

Congratulations France!
