VELIB Bikes affordable and fun way to explore Paris

VELIB Bikes to explore Paris • VELIB Bikes – the name is a contraction of velo (cycle) and liberte (freedom). A popular bicycle rental scheme in Paris that has transformed travel in the city, by the private company JCDecaux, the second largest outdoor advertising corporation in the world, and championed by Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe, part of an attempt to “green” the capital.

A great way to explore Paris at a very affordable price. Paris has a very functional metro network, but you miss most of the sights while underground. VELIB Bikes is the best option to explore Paris at its best. Plus you get to put off all that extra calories you’ve taken into your system while enjoying some of the best cheese, bread, chocolates and wine in the world. ( hey I am talking from experience ).
