Bike Sharing Programs

Last time I was in Paris I noticed there were bikes parked all over the city that looked the same. Three years ago they launched a bike program throughout the city; a program designed to cut traffic, reduce pollution, improve parking and enhance the city's image as a greener, quieter and more relaxed place. The program has been successful and is a great way as a tourist to explore Paris and get from A to B without taking the usual method of boat, train or bus. You can pick the bike up in one location and return it at one of the other hundreds of bike stations in the city.

Here are some other cities that also have bike sharing programs:

1) Montreal - largest in North America

2) Boston

3) Berlin

4) Barcelona

5) Washington D.C

6) Stockholm

7) Rome

8) Boston

9) Dublin

10) Vienna

Next time you are tavelling, check to see if the city offers a bike sharing program. It's a cheap way to explore the city and cover a lot of ground in one day.

Happy biking,
