The AERC has been running between 21 and 22 thousand starts a year. 
Where does France pack that many rides into a small area - compared to 
the US - in a climate that doesn't support riding 365 days a year (which 
you do in a country as large as the US)? How big is the average ride?

Are these numbers only France or do they also include some of it's EU 
neighbors?
