In-Depth Information
If the station you want to return your bike to is full, log in to the terminal to get 15 minutes
for free to find another station.
Bikes are geared to cyclists aged 14 and over, and are fitted with gears, an antitheft lock
with key, reflective strips and front/rear lights. Bring your own helmet (they are not required
by law).
In June 2014 the city of Paris launched P'tits Vélib', a bike-sharing scheme for children
aged two to 10 years, with bike stations in five sites, including Bois de Bologne, Bois de
Vincennes and Les Berges de Seine.

Bus
Buses can be a fun way to get around - and there are no stairs to climb, meaning they are
more widely accessible - but they're slower and less intuitive to figure out than the metro.
