Motorbike and Cycle News Stop Press: 1 January 2021
The quickest way round Cannes - and the Riviera - is on two wheels.
Motorbikes are now banned from going to the front of cars stopped at traffic lights or to queue jump for any other reason. Weaving in and out of traffic is so dangerous especially when they are coming from all directions. It has been found that motorbike accidents dropped by 10% where overtaking was banned. Riders will be fined 135 euros and three points for breaking this new France wide law.
Opposite the railway station everything for lovers of two wheels can be found at Bike Trip, 10 place de la gare:
tel 04 93 99 39 93 www.rent-bike.fr
From every type of bicycle to scooters and motorcycles including BMW and Harley Davidsons. The enthusiastic staff will help you make the most of your experience advising on trips around Cannes and further afield. They also offer motorbike tours with a guide and hotels included for the ride of your life.
