Planning to visit Paris, France. As you probably know, most Parisians use the bicycle to move around the city. It is an effective and non polluting way to move around and stay in shape. If you would like to experience Paris like a Parisian, get on a bicycle. How?
Vélib is a private company in charge of providing and maintaining self- service bicycles around Paris and its suburbs. They are recognizable by their color and Vélib logo. To help you sort things out, I compiled a few things that you need to know before getting on a public bicycle.
