This is in Paris, so it has nothing to do with the UK. This was one of the photos I had handy. Both motorcycles and bikes illegally ride recklessly on that stretch of sidewalk during morning rush hour.

Maybe the photos I sent to the Mayor showing motorcycle riders and bicyclists speeding down our sidewalk resulted in action! I am an avid SAFE cyclist, these reckless idiots give all of us a bad reputation.

Police are out in force issuing traffic citations this morning. Many Parisians despise dangerous cyclists for riding on sidewalks, running into pedestrians & passing through red lights at busy intersections, leading to demands for aggressive safety enforcement.

The freedom of bike transportation should be available to people of all ages in the city.

Sorry, I almost never explore around Boulogne-Billancourt. Any corner bakery that bakes on site should be excellent. You can try Cusuaka Cafés and Cuvée Noire for coffee.

One of the most spectacular street art portraits I have found in Paris. Edmond Rostand, French poet & dramatist, best known for 1897's play Cyrano de Bergerac.

Some incredible tile work preserved on the facade of a former fishmonger business behind the Sacré Cœur. We must try to save these pieces of art in our cities.

Before elections in Paris, posters of the city and arrondissement candidates are placed outside of each polling location.

Bike parking, a bike route, and slow cafe lunches on a sunny day just off of Square Montholon on either side of Rue Pierre Semard at Bibou Wine Bar & BB Restaurant

A sunny Monday during lunch. Every seat is full at every cafe and park bench. If you don't have a chair, the sidewalk will work just fine as long as there is sunshine.

Thanks, but I can't say how many times someone is standing, smoking, or hanging out in front of a roller shutter that I want to take a photo of. Sometimes there are multiple bins on garbage day or large work vans. The worst is seeing a shutter and it immediately starts to open.

The irony of a "top to bottom" review. He means stop sending officers to top schools and start sending them to the bottom schools.

Roller Shutters of Paris visits the yoga studio; Dorure Sur Soi, 28 Rue Damrémont, 75018.

A truck was blocking me from taking a direct photograph, so the side angle was the best I could do.

I love wandering the streets of Paris and discovering little random surprises on the wall. If you aren't paying attention, you won't even notice.

Coffee bean delivery to Café Aouba. They have a great collection of coffees and their sacs from around the world. The best coffee in Paris.
