Many tourists prefer getting around the city on a bike. You can rent a bike at any Vélib station in Paris. However, in spite of many advantages of using this service, there is one major disadvantage. You can only pay for bike rental or make a deposit with your credit card. For those travelers who don't use these cards, the authorities of the city offer the addresses of alternative bike stations where you can pay cash.

On the web-site of the Paris city hall there is a list of companies offering rental services. Besides that, tourists can use the interactive search in the Google Maps application and choose the most convenient location of a bike station. Similar companies are located almost in every district of Paris, from the 2nd to the 10th. Some of them offer not only bike rental services but also bike excursions with a guide. Some companies offer electric bicycles and segways for temporary usage.
