On October 19, cyclists will hold demonstrations in front of town halls across France to protest following the tragic death of a cyclist in Paris on October 15. The main event will take place in Paris at Place de la République starting at 5:00 PM. On this occasion, the organizers are calling for a symbolic moment of reflection: a minute of silence will be observed at 5:45 PM in front of all the town halls in the country.
This mobilization aims to demand greater safety for cyclists, as well as improvements to bike infrastructure, in response to the fatal accident that has shocked the community. Although it is difficult to estimate the exact number of participants in advance, a large turnout is expected, particularly in major cities like Paris.
It is expected that these demonstrations will take place peacefully, but local authorities will increase security, and local traffic disruptions are anticipated around the gathering sites.
For anyone traveling on October 19, it is advisable to consider possible slowdowns or blockages in areas affected by these gatherings.
