For the past fifteen years, ecological awareness has given rise to the emergence of alternatives to the car. Local and national strategies encourage the French to ride their bike to work.

But it was really the last transport strikes, followed by the measures in relation to the covid pandemic, which have revolutionised travel habits. Will this unprecedented health situation make it possible to consider the bicycle as a real alternative transport at last? Our cyclo-detective Sandrine Herman sets out to meet deaf bicycle workers to understand their motivations. Activists from various associations explain the reason for their fight.
And with an urban planner, specialist in mobility, Sandrine discovers the history of the bicycle in France and the special relationship of the French with the bike, that is affectionately called “la petite reine”.
