Bikers protest in 34 French cities
Thousands campaign against plans to ban older bikes from city centres
MOTORCYCLISTS halted traffic in 34 French towns and cities on Saturday afternoon in a protest against plans to ban older bikes from city centres.
In Paris, several thousand bikes blocked the périphérique ring road. Other major demonstrations brought traffic to a standstill in Lille, Bayonne, Limoges, Grenoble, Lyon and Bordeaux.
A new energy transition law in France allows big cities to ban motorbikes from before the year 2000.
The French Federation of Angry Bikers, FFMC, says such a measure would be "a European exception". Protesters displayed signs in their windshield with the message: "Motorbikes are a solution, not a pollution."
