Many years ago I was an exchange student for my senior year of high school, though not in Paris. This summer, I will be spending the month of July in Paris (rented a studio in the XXe). I would really like to do some cycling -- something more aggressive than one can do on a vélib that is. However, I've found out that checking my bike is going to cost $450 round trip, so I'm ditching that idea. I'm surprised how hard it is to find decent rental in Paris. I would really appreciate if you could send me the name of the smaller shop you went to after go-sport and Decathlon where they had rentals and used bikes. My current plan is to buy a cheap-ish VTT for getting around town and day-trips. If I could get a tip on a used bike before heading over, that would be even better. Let me know if you have any ideas -- many thanks in advance! Best wishes with the rest of the school year. david(dot)stirling(at)mac(dot)comDavidnoreply@blogger.com
