Though this seems obvious in retrospect, adding bicycles to Paris doesn't turn it into Amsterdam. You still have the aggressive chaos of Parisian traffic, but now it's silent and could be coming from any direction.

I'm not saying it was a mistake for Paris to become more bicycle-centric. It's probably good for the city, and its people. But it does feel significantly more dangerous to walk there.
