Just went be what was written in the guardian which explicitly said cycling banned

Even with my shit French, it doesn't say that.

Cool, but if you read the what THE GUARDIAN wrote you'll see they literally wrote:

France has tightened the rules of who can go out by banning sports cycling

So, yeah, it does say that?

And if you follow the link @Philbythesea shared, you can read this quote from the French cycling federation:

"De ce fait, la pratique du sport cycliste communément admise, n’entre pas dans les conditions prévues au décret et constitue donc une infraction susceptible de verbalisation. En effet, ces conditions de proximité et de temps court sont antinomiques avec les notions d’entraînement du sport cycliste basées sur des notions de distance et de temps long. Toute pratique du sport cycliste, même individuelle, doit donc être momentanément proscrite."

Well this is the problem with blindly quoting editorial isn't it? The French cycling federation are saying that sports cycling should be prohibited. That is not the same as 'Cycling banned in France', whatever the Guardian say.
