Paris Velib Bikes; Tips & Tricks
1. It’s worth downloading the free Velib app that locates the closest available docking stations in real time & location.
2. The Velib bike does not come with a cycle helmet so this is something you will need to consider before making a trip.
3. If the seat on the Velib Bike is facing towards the back wheel this indicates that there is a problem with the bike.
4. When returning a bike, if the selected docking station is full, you can secure an additional 15 minutes for free to locate a vacant spot.
