June 3. Paris tour continued. Tour Eiffel, Champs Elysèe and Arc De Triomphe. Paris has a wonderful collection of public bikes that are rented by the hour or day from automated bike racks. Once you figure out the basics you can travel environmentally friendly all over the city in ease. I did learn a valuable lesson about the system. When the bike seat is turned around facing the wrong direction it may appears a minor inconvenience. Thats what I thought anyways. A few yards down the road I realized that is French for this bike is broken. So if public bikes catch on in your city keep that in mind.
