This autumn I sampled the Paris cycle scheme. I never realised how small and convenient the centre of Paris is. In 10 minutes I had gone from the Gare du Nord to the Louvre. The Paris Metro and bus system is sophisticated, but for sheer convenience, cycling was a joy. Inside the peripherique you're never more than 350 yards from a bike station, so you can leave the bike at one station and pick up another one easily.
