I wanted so badly to spend an entire day riding around on a velib (French and short for 'bicycle freedom'). Fantastic concept: you swipe a card at a bike station, grab a bike, and drop it off at any other bike station in the city, for, like, a Euro. Genius. I didn't get to for technical reasons (and too many cold days), and I could kick myself for not sorting it out in time. If I have to go back just to get on one, I will. I don't know why it seems so much cooler to me than riding your own bicycle. Maybe it's the idea of feeling like part of some giant bike gang.
