Mastering Paris by Electric Cargo Bike: Traffic & Logistics
Over the past few years, Paris’s cycling network has expanded significantly, and getting around by bike has never been easier—provided you know a few basic safety and navigation tips.
Take advantage of cycling infrastructure
The City of Paris has built over 1,000 km of cycling paths, including major protected routes like Rue de Rivoli and the canal banks.
These wide and often separated lanes are ideal for getting around on a cargo bike, sometimes even allowing you to ride side by side. The traffic code considers cargo bikes the same as standard bikes, meaning you can use bus lanes open to cyclists and the many two-way bike lanes. However, since you’re transporting a load, caution is key—especially in busy areas.
How to park your rental bike in Paris
Parking in Paris sometimes requires a bit of anticipation—especially with a larger bike. To secure your rental, look for bike racks specifically designed for cargo bikes, which are becoming more common and allow you to lock both the front and rear of your bike.
The golden rule is simple: never block pedestrian access and always lock the frame (not just the wheel) to a sturdy fixed point. The lock we provide is your best defense against theft!
Our Family-Friendly Bike Route for a Weekend in Paris
Planning a family weekend in Paris but not sure how to organize your time? Don’t worry—we’ve prepared the perfect route to enjoy Paris with the whole family!
Start your morning at our OneBike shop in the heart of Paris. Head toward the National Museum of Natural History in the Jardin des Plantes, enjoying a ride along the riverbanks with a view of Notre-Dame. Once there, take a culture break at one of the most beautiful museums in the capital—fun for all ages.
After your visit, cross the Seine via the Léopold-Sédar-Senghor footbridge (or the Pont des Arts) while admiring the view. For lunch, head to the Jardin des Tuileries: its large open paths are perfect for riding a cargo bike, and you’ll find crêpe stands or roasted chestnuts for a quick and comforting meal.
To enjoy the golden hour light, ride along Rue de Rivoli and its lovely shops. End the day with a relaxing stroll through the Marais district, famous for its charming streets and seasonal decorations.
A cargo bike makes it easy to carry any last-minute purchases without worrying about hauling bags. Kids seated safely in the back will enjoy an unbeatable view of the festive façades, making your Paris weekend a success for the whole family!
