"Rent-a-bike" Bicycle Tip by maestrousmc

Bicycle, Paris: 31 reviews and 50 photos

 
 

This city government system, with thousands of bicycles located all over Paris in "stations", allows you to rent a bicycle for one-half hour or less at no cost, and for longer at rapidly increasing rates, providing you have taken out a subscription (inexpensive). Those who wish to subscribe by the day or week do so at the automatic computer terminals located at the bicycle stations. You need a credit card for the day and weekly subscriptions, and presumably you are charged at least €150 if you don't return the bicycle. You can search in advance for bicycle rental stations by entering your address on the velib internet site mentioned above, but in theory they will soon be located every few hundered meters throughout Paris.
