While the conclusions tend to demonstrate the importance of establishing a bike-friendly urban policy to encourage urban bike use, they also demonstrate the necessity for greater reflection on the link between Saint-Étienne’s centrifugal residential trips and its daily trips, postulating that by seeking to solve the problem of the city centre’s impoverishment caused by the middle classes moving to the suburbs, one would at the same time increase urban bike use, not only by shortening urban trip distances, but also by welcoming more potential bicyclists into the city centre. The general idea engendered by this reflection is that the veritable bicycle-reliant town is one that implements not only an appropriate mobility offer, but also an urban offer on a par with the urban competition that forces today’s larger towns to demonstrate their greater attractiveness so as to welcome new investments and new wealthier inhabitants paying higher taxes.
