The Green Streets of Paris

The Green Streets of Paris

Velib', le vélo en liberté ! From 15th July 2007, Parisians and tourists will be able to hop on a bike at one location in Paris and drop it off at another. Mais comment ça marche? Well, it's easy and cheap. All you need is a pass, you can get a one day pass for 1 Eur, a 7 day pass for 5 Eur and a one year pass for 29 Eur. Your pass entitles you to free 30 minutes journeys. For longer journeys, you will be charged a little extra, eg. 1 Eur for an extra 30 minutes.

By the end of the year, Paris will have a total of 1451 Velib' parking stations and 20 600 bikes.
