If someone draws a conclusion from the facts it could be biased, but this is just merely data. You could say that it is framing a certain set of results, (since it doesn't say anything about how pleasant a trip by car is compared to a trip by bicycle for example), but the collection data seems to done perfectly neutral.

The title is framing the statistics with the implication that bike lanes and car restrictions are the cause.

(Fuck electric cars)

No I totally agree but it would be framing which is not the same as being biased, and the title implies a causation but doesn't actually say there is one. Also could have kept quiet because i don't really disagree with op.

I kinda agree . For all we know it might be also fasing out of fossil fuel based heating ( For example the reason for massive improvments of air quality in some cities in Poland is banning of old coal based heating , not banning of cars ). But im not french and i dont know if individual heating using coal or gas furnaces was ever the norm there. Also i think 2007 is a few years after euro 4 emmissions were created , so thats also a signifiact improvment on its own as pepole move slowly from older to newer cars . Basicaly i wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. Its probably a combination of multiple factors
