Parisian cyclists are said to be less exposed to pollution than motorists. This is in any case the result of an Airparif study made public today. Bicycle paths, bus lanes, road markings ... the facilities allow cyclists to get away from sources of pollution.
Philippe Lameloise, director of Airparif, confirms this. “When they're inside car traffic, they breathe pretty much the same air as motorists. But when the routes shift them, they breathe better.”
