Besides, most Velib' users are not experienced bikers, that probably explains why they don't look very self-assured every time they move off.
Why would inexperienced cyclists decide to get on a bike in Paris?
I do not fancy the idea of wobbling along the streets and roads in busy cities. Is Paris cycle friendly? Don't remember seeing any bicycle lanes at all.
I think I might have come across the Velib' stands in Madeline. A whole row of bikes which I initially thought belonged to some Paris cycling tour group!
OT comment - this scheme would be great in SXB.
