Paris visitors can use Bicycles as part of the Vel Lib program
Starting on July 15th, Paris has offered a new system of transportation to all people living in and visiting the City of Light. More than 10,000 bicycles will be available for rent from 750 self-service stations located conveniently throughout the the capital.
The Paris city authorities have created this program called « Vélib’ », this summer. The principle is simple: pick up a bike from one station and leave it at any other station at any moment during the day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Vélib’ stations are very conveniently located, every 300 meters or so (about the same distance as metro stations are placed throughout Paris) and include a terminal and bike racks.
Annual, weekly, or hourly subscriptions enable everyone (i.e. Paris visitors) to have the opportunity to take advantage of this wonderful new travel option within Paris boundaries. The city has planned to expand the program and by year end, there will be over 1,500 stations and twice as many bicycles available.
