The Growing Popularity of Cycling in Toulon: Opportunities and Challenges

Although it is not a scientific truth, an observation is obvious to the naked eye: for several months, the number of cyclists in the streets of Toulon has been increasing sharply. Even if the situation in the Var prefecture has nothing to do with that of Strasbourg or Nantes, two large cities where cycling is king, the capital of Var is capitalizing on its recent and concrete efforts in this area.

From 6 km of cycle routes in 2001, Toulon now has 68 km of paths or lanes where biclous are supposed to be able to travel easily and safely. Recently, some symbolic achievements, along the expressway or Avenue de la République, have even spruced up a window display long mocked by fans of the Little Queen.

Too little continuity between the tracks, absence of essential sections and lack of proactive policy in this area are the most frequent criticisms addressed to the municipality. And, according to its critics, crippling obstacles to the development of this gentle mode of travel.

In the middle of European Mobility Week, when the urgency to travel without polluting has never been more pressing, the time has come to express yourself.
