More coolness from Nantes

One of the reasons the system works so well in Nantes is that it has good bicycle and transit infrastructure to help people get around. The city is also a manageable size.

Riding on the sidewalk isn't forbidden like it is here. On a side note, the transit system also includes ferryboats on their canal system.


Here, a woman rides past a bus rapid transit (BRT) stop. One of the advantages of BRT is that, in a highly multimodal city, bicycle wheels don't get caught in the tracks required for light rail while transit service quality is comparable.


Not everyone rides bicloo -- some people even have their own bikes. Maybe it's because they need to carry more than can be carried on a bicloo bike.... This view makes me wonder if a pro-cycling, family-friendly city needs to provide baby seats on some of the bikeshare bikes...?
