Richard,
You really are a Hero Member

Not only bikes are concerned by the project in France, but every vehicules. The mayor of Clermont Ferrand refused his city to be enrolled in the list of concerned cities. It's in Auvergne, in the centre of France, where GP of Charade took place. The council of Auvergne made big efforts to welcome bikers (see
www.auvergne-moto.fr) and the place is really worthy (?) for riding a motorbike.
... actually I don't work for the Council of Auvergne but it si so rare to find people interested in welcoming bikers.
For the moment, Clermont Ferrand is the only city that refused the project.
