The talisman in this book is mid 20th Century French bicycle racing medal.  In Paris, people use bicycles for errands within the city more than twice as often as they choose cars.  Since 2020, Paris has become a very bicycle-friendly city, even incorporating cyclist eye-level traffic signals on popular routes such as the Rue de Rivoli.
