Velib!

If you know me, you know how much I love bikes and bike riding. Paris couldn't be a better fit for me and bikes. The city has Velib stations all over the city. It is such a bike friendly city, with tons of  bike lanes and bike signs to help get you where you need to go. The Velib is simple to use. If you are visiting Paris just find a Velib station. The machine is very easy to use with several different languages. You must put a $150 deposit  on your cc to use the bike. One trip cost 1.70 euro for a day. The first half hour is free, then you will be charged the fixed hourly price, if you have the bike out longer. Most rides around the city are under 30 mins! There are also long term plans. I paid just 30 euro to use it for the year. The website is  easy to use with tons of information.( http://en.velib.paris.fr/ )When you get to your destination, there is sure to be a Velib station near to return the bike. It is easy to return. When you are ready leave just pick a new bike and start biking again!
