Has anyone used the cycle hire scheme to get about in Paris (velib)?

What are the cycle paths like for getting round some of the attractions, will be going with someone who is not a regular cyclist?

Cheers

Yes, but no.
Stuck to Monmatre area, busy but cars were parked both sides of the road so they all just chilled out. Oh, went down to Louvre and back too..

Mates got plans to ride the city to look at the architecture, he’s a knowledgeable chap and part of the club, looking forward to that but it’s not until Nov.

bikes are easy to use and the bike lanes are great.

straying from the bike lanes can be a bit dicey.

my suggestion would be to print a map of the bike lanes and pre plan routes a little.

the app is also useful.
