Using Velib hire bikes in Paris.
Posted: Wed Mar 16, 2011 3:25 pm
I've read in a few places about people having problems using the Vélib hire bike in Paris. The general issue seems to be that you need a credit card with the chip, but even than not all foriegn cards work.
Has anyone had any experience with this recently? My wife an I are going to Paris, and I'd really like to use the bikes to get around after having used the BikeMi hire bikes in Milan.
Also any feedback on using The Barclays bike hire scheme in London would be interesting as well.
