> The French government is slowly bringing its lockdown to a close from May 11, with cyclists allowed back onto the roads for the first time since March.

To clarify, this is somewhat inaccurate: biking is permitted, and has always been permitted, during the French lockdown, as a judgment (in French) recently confirmed: https://www.conseil-etat.fr/actualites/actualites/le-gouvern....

Cyclists were just subject to the same restrictions as anyone else -- these restrictions were the same no matter the transportation means.

And yes, these measures should change by May 11, but the details are not confirmed yet.
