cerealjoe | Been doing a happy dance since yesterday because of this! (Reply)

Oh, I am quite easily pleased sometimes. News that my annual LeVelo pass is now activated came yesterday, I do have to say that the system is rather efficient, I sent the paperwork in just over a week and a half ago! And the best part is that I can use my regular bus card, no need for an extra card to carry around!

And in Marseille, the city cycling program is one of the cheapest around. 5e for an annual pass, the first half-hour is free and then it's 50 cents per half hour. Even the weekly pass is a good deal, it's a 1e fee and then the first half-hour is free, 50 cents per half hour afterwards. Compared to the systems in Paris or Toulouse it is extremely cheap.

Now time to enjoy the city cycling and exploring opportunities in the sun! It's less hot these days, perfect for an afternoon week-end stroll!

If only they could build a "station" closer to where I live... the closest one is still almost 2 kilometers away. If I could have a station down the street, it would be the most amazing cherry on top of a lovely cake. I really shouldn't complain, apparently those city bike rentals aren't working everywhere, they decided to close down the one in Aix.
