Walking is so passé, well it's been for the
last 100 or more years. Seeing cities on a bicycle is more en-vogue than ever
with the large number of cycle schemes in cities around the world.
Most metropolises nowadays have a cycle sharing
scheme; allowing users to just get up and ride to where they need, when they
need and then park the bike in a safe bay when finished. One of the other great
things about these schemes is the fact that the first 30 minutes are free. This
of course means that once you keep an eye on the time you get mega deals on your transport. Usually you only have to wait a few
minutes, if any time at all between hiring and it means you travel completely
for free.
Cycle paths are a lot more developed in many of these
cities below than the cities you may be used to. This means that you can get
around with ease and enjoy the city from the vantage of a cycle.
Paris
Parisians like to start the day a little later than
most and if you can manage it getting up at the crack of dawn makes for one of
the most memorable experiences you'll have of the city. With no traffic,
people, or other cyclists around you can zoom down the usually perilous Champs
Elysee, cycle under the Eiffel Tower and watch the sun come up beside the
Bastille all in time for your coffee and croissant. How can you equate anything
to that experience and at only 1.70 for 24 hour hire, it was cheap even when
the bicycle was invented. Why not take on a deal of the day and stay in France's capital?
Montreal
Montreal is Canada's French city and one of its most
beautiful. The bike scheme here runs only through the summer, mainly due to the
adverse weather conditions of the winter. The Montreal Bixi scheme allows you
to explore from the port and the wonderful panorama from the Mont-Royal Park
over the wonderful city.
Of course, as you're on the go and exercising there's
no problems with enjoying the city's wonderful food. So load up and then pedal
it off. La Banquise is a great place for those night peddlers and serves 22
different kinds of Poutine - which for those not in the know is gravy and
cheese dish of sumptuous delight. The Montreal scheme costs are near mega deals
realm at around $7 CN for 24 hours though is cheaper if you hire for longer
periods.
Orleans
Jazz fans unite and enjoy some of the most beautiful
scenery in the whole of the USA. Orleans is a very flat city and provides the
perfect place for those who want an easy amble. It has one of the best bike
trails in the world with the Loire a Velo, while the city hosts some beautiful
tracks of its own. From the quayside of the city, to its surrounding
neighbourhoods, this is a trip for lovers of Duke Ellington and others are sure
to remember. So why not grab one deals
at only E1 for a full day's cycling.
Amsterdam
There was probably never a better city made for a
bicycle than Amsterdam and that's why it's so popular with cyclists. Those
looking for an easy cultural experience should hit the Dutch capital. Whether
cycling around the waterways or to and from its museums, Amsterdam is the
perfect place for those on two wheels.
In fact the city is considered the most cycle
friendly large city in the world and 60 per cent of inner city trips are made
on bikes. There are over 400km of bike ways in the city, even more spectacular
when you realise it's a small city. It's also very safe die to cycling's
popularity and also all the measures put in place. The perfect place for those
not so used to bikes to grab one and start.
