It wouldn't work in Paris, with the current infrastructure, there's a lot of places that can't be easily reached with a car. In addition, there's a lot traffic that goes through Paris from one subburb to another.

Yeah, no shit. I own a bike and hardly ride it because if I ride on the sidewalk I’m screamed at for endangering pedestrians; if I ride in the street lane I’m screamed at and cut off by drivers for going too slow; if I ride in the handful of bike lanes I’m at extreme risk for being cut off by an Uber taxi, Lyft taxi, delivery vehicle, or some random person in a car and they always say “I’ll just be a second you can go around me!!” but if I do then I’m in one of the other two areas and here comes the screaming and the maybe dying.

So if I can’t get there by walking, busing, train, or biking in wide open spaces, I’m just not going because damn, people in cars sure do act entitled to the spaces where I’m supposed to be and think nothing of swinging that two ton block of deadly metal around in ways that may smear their paint but could injure or kill me with little effort.
