Velobleu inauguration
Place Garibaldi
Saturday 18th July 2009
Various speeches and maps handed out plus special editions of Nice Matin.
Plenty of the Velos in evidence and at the end, they were carted and cycled off presumably to fill up the stands.
The application forms are ready to download from the website. You need a French bank account and to take some ID with you. Cards are issued at the ligne d'azur office at Place Massena, there's a dedicated counter. It took a very long time and we will have to repeat the process next year when my daughter is old enough to have her own card, you have to be over 14 to use the system.
Tried a bike today just to see how easy it was to lock and unlock and took it for a quick go around the block. It's not that quick a system nor completely intuitive but it worked and no doubt I will speed up with practise. It helped that there was an option for online instructions in English.
We spotted several velobleus out and about. Celebrate a decade of Messenger with free winks, emoticons, display pics, and more.
