iread on the bikes: Mairie de Paris

Paris municipality

I think French are marketing themselves here

this is awesome! i use these frequently in Europe and it is a cheap and easy way to get around. However, even in the bigger European cities there are glitches like flat tires, damaged steering, faulty brakes etc.

Who is supposed to maintain them? Since so many different people will be using them, there should be someone working on the upkeep.

Like the Velib. I miss bycycling along the streets of Paris, Velo'v in Lyon etc...

You cannot take one away and go, you need to pay with your credit card first, then machine will give you a series of codes which you need in order to unlock the bikes.

I miss Paris......

hay.

YES, Not the copies, those are the same. Check out the post, it is in French. In Paris it is all around Paris, but here, just at the Corniche :)

No as there are no mountains or hills here at all. The closest are sand dunes and for obvious reasons, you cannot explore them on a bicycle.

Hi we have the same in Europe (Luxembourg, France called Velib), Belgium) and these are electric bicycles you can rent and dispose them in various places over the city.

Principle: you rent a bike in a place, so you take it from this docking station then you can leave it in another place where you can find another similar docking station...

It is famous in Europe now.

In France it is done in partnership with JCDecaux, maybe same here (QMEDIA/JCDECAUX)??
