Having appeared a few years ago in the United States and in northern Europe, bike cafés are gradually establishing themselves in France in the heart of cities and sometimes villages. Created by true enthusiasts, these places where both the cyclist and his bike are fed, have the common values of sharing and conviviality. However, these shops, workshops, bars, restaurants are not only meeting points where the cycling community meets before and after each outing or during broadcasts of stages of the Tour de France. In regions where bistros have closed their doors, they also act as real players in local life. In a world of permanent speeding, bike cafés invite you to take a regenerating break that encourages contact, exchange, but also a contemplative approach to cycling. They symbolize this new art of living around the bicycle. This first guide dedicated to them is a real tour of France of bike cafés. Illustrated with numerous photos, it offers you a broad overview of these unusual places and presents the map of services offered by each brand.
