CITYWIDE BICYCLE LAUNCH IN PARIS

Bicycles in their kiosks await the official launch of the "Velib" citywide bicycle program in Paris on July 15, 2007. Parisians and visitors can rent a bicycle free of charge for the first half hour from among the new fleet of 20,000 that will be available from approximately 750 automatic kiosks around the city.
