I just received my Velib' card which means that from now on 24/7 I can ride on one of 17000 bicycles available for public use in 1202 stations around Paris!
Each station has 15 or more bikes or spaces and paying a fee of 29€/year you are authorized to free bike rides for up to 30 minutes. Stations are not further than 300m from each other, so you can leave it wherever it's comfortable for you or exchange after half an hour for another one.
The system was introduced on 15 July 2007 after succesful pioneering programme in Lyon and is now the largest system of it's kind in the world.
La ville est plus belle à vélo :D
pojezdzimy sobie po paryzu razem w lutym!
