Vive le Velib


In this car glutted city surrounded by a congested peripherique, or beltway, the hero of the day is the Velib. Parisians are sailing down from Montmartre on their rented bikes, an initiative put in place by Paris' mayor this summer. (Needless to say, riding uphill to Montmartre is less attractive--there is a shortage of bikes in Montmartre and near the Place Gambetta). To find out more about Velib see the link list.
