Paris [France], October 21: Following the death of a cyclist who was run over by an SUV in Paris, activists in the southern French city of Toulouse let the air out of the tyres of 65 SUVs overnight as a form of protest. SUVs are said to be the enemy of pedestrians and cyclists because they are much wider and heavier and cause more fatal accidents than regular cars, the newspaper Liberation cited the organization "No SUV Tolosa" as saying. They stated that cities are not designed for such large vehicles and that people must be discouraged from buying these cars, which are true "climate bombs." In Paris and other major French cities, there were protest actions over the weekend to commemorate the cyclist Paul Varry, 27, who was run over in Paris on Tuesday. The French cyclists' association, among others, had called for the protests, demanding greater safety for cyclists on the roads. The Paris prosecutor's office is investigating the 52-year-old driver of the SUV on suspicion of murder, as he is alleged to have intentionally run over the cyclist on Tuesday after an argument.
