Sightseeing Paris by Vélib

In 2010 I finally got my subscription to the Paris Vélib and renewed it this year increasing my free ride from 30 to 45 minutes. This has been a very welcome change as I frequently was caught out by cycling for 25 minutes then trying to find a "station". Now I can be more organized. I have the 45 minutes and at 30 minutes I begin to think of looking to park the bicycle.

Another big advantage is that I can go for longer distances instead of the short hops in central Paris. I have started to go to different parts of Paris away from the center. Montmartre is only 32 minutes from BHV!!

Another good tip is to have a Paris map with all the Vélib stations indicated. This saves an enormous amount of time and indeed stress in trying to find one particularly when a station can be full and you have look around an unfamiliar quartier for another.

Returning after a gap

It certainly has been a long time since I created a new posting on my blog. It is time to re-familiarize myself with my blog and see about writing new posts.

800 Page Views Milestone

Introduction
Another milestone has been passed during the month of February as I reached more than 800 page views. This was an increase from 500 in December. This has come about despite the fact that I have done absolutely no advertising or even told my friends.

Adding new posts has been, frankly, haphazard and non-existent. I must get back into the habit of posting new content. In my defense I started a new job in January and I have been more focused on that. But that is no real excuse. However, it hasn’t stopped me thinking of topics to post so, at least, I have loads of ideas germinating in my head.

Visitors Since the creation of SimonsParis Blog there have been 824 page views coming from France (397), United States (243), United Arab Emirates (24), Germany (24), Russia (22), Singapore (18), Slovenia (12), Croatia (11), Canada (9), ran (8), and other (57).

Top page views
These are the most popular postings that are visited. Not a lot has changed since my last statistics report at the end of October. I have not added that many new postings but I’ll be doing so in the near future.
