Djokovic dares daring bicycle trip through Paris!

Arc de Triomphe, 75008 Paris, Frankreich - Novak Djokovic, the 38-year-old Serbian tennis star, recently caused a sensation when he took a trip through Paris instead of preparing for his upcoming match at the French Open. This happened less than 24 hours before his game against Corentin Moutet. The tennis professional rented a bike and cycled through the city, whereby he drove around the Arc de Triomphe in the busy roundabout. He wore a dark blue training suit, sneakers and a correctly sitting helmet. Cycling in this lively environment was a risky, surrounded by numerous cars, which Djokovic found it dangerous.

Cycling did not get him out of the socket. A passer -by called to him "I love you!", Which Djokovic replied with a smile: "I love you too." His little escape from the tournament was documented on social media when he was filmed while cycling. Djokovic has already done similar excursions in the past, which shows that he also likes to be active away from the tennis court.

The attractiveness of Paris for cyclists

Paris has made considerable efforts in recent years to improve security and infrastructure for cyclists. There are now almost 1000 kilometers of bike paths in the city, which enable a secure connection from the triumphal arch to the Bastille. These developments not only offer local cyclists, but also tourists the opportunity to explore the city on two wheels. The use of public rental bikes, known as Vélib, is a popular option to actively discover the city.

There are a variety of organized bike tours that are also offered in German. Some of the recommended tours are:

• Highlights Tour: A three-hour tour on a Dutch bike through the city, including visits to the Eiffel Tower, the Notre-Dame and the Louvre with breaks for photographs.
• e-bike tour through Paris: A four-hour tour along the Seine, which also includes hidden places, with optional evening tours.
• Secret Paris: A three -hour tour to fewer known sights, with information about historical places.

The improvements in the bicycle infrastructure and the offers of organized tours help to ensure that Paris becomes more attractive to cyclists. These developments could also inspire Djokovic and other athletes to experience the city in a different way.
