Vélib 'use tips

Every time if the journey is for 30 minutes, its already paid for with the ticket(as long as you pay the first day  ticket fee)

If a period is more than 30 minutes, and you are  still riding or havent  yet returned the bike then every 30 minutes 1 euro will be charged, one hour is two euros, after  that every 30 minutes 4 euros,

These costs will be automatically deducted from the credit card, so you should pay attention to the time of each return .

If your destination is farther than 30 minutes and If you do not want to pay an extra fee every 30 minutes you could find  a new site to rent.

While  riding,  drive in the bike lane .Safety is important!

 Ride a bike ride next to the Canal  StMartin.
