Since we don't have a car here in Paris, most of our getting around is done on foot, bus or metro. We recently added a fourth mode of transport to the mix - bicycles! But not our own. We joined the Parisian bike share program, Velib. Bike share programs are now all over the world in major cities, and are a great way to get around without having to own and store your own bike in a small apartment space. This past weekend, I took my maiden voyage. And I'll be honest. Riding a bike is not exactly like riding a bike. It has been years since I hopped on two wheels, and I'll freely admit I was a bit wobbly at first. Maybe it has something to do with riding so close to passing cars in the streets of Paris.
But it was incredibly liberating to feel the spring wind through my hair and the sun on my face. Biking through Paris on a beautiful afternoon is everything you would hope it would be.
