"There was a rise in hospitalizations of pedestrians and cyclists"
looks at the reason

I have only been to Paris once, but the cyclists were much more sane in my experience. The bike lanes were clear, and for the most part they stopped at a red light.
What I would like to see is mortality rates of pedestrians in Paris in general. That might be the actually interesting trend.
As a pedestrian, I've had FAR more encounters with aggressive cyclists than aggressive drivers (also anecdotal). Makes walking downtown more stressful.
Anyhow, talking about the hospitalization rate without the mortality rate is very odd and smells of manipulation one way or the other.
