12 months later, what about Velib’?

2 May 2008 by admin

Remember the days before in Paris last summer when you look at both sides of the road to make sure that there was no car, because cyclists do have done nothing wrong? Well, times have changed. Just in time to cross, you must now slow down to avoid the cyclist traveling at any speed. It is likely that this person is on a Velib ‘.

At the beginning of the initiative, the effort from Paris to “go green” built 750 Velib stations, which corresponded to 10 600 cycles. Today, these figures exceed 1400 and 20,600 respectively. You can imagine how this has changed the dynamic of those using the roads. Velib ‘has been widely welcomed by Paris and by millions of tourists. It allows you to maneuver through the city at low cost and without polluting.
