Velib - Public Bicycles in Paris

Velib, standing for "Velo Liberte" (bike freedom), is the fitting name of Paris' incredibly successful public bike share program. In operation since summer 2007, Velib is the biggest bike share system in the world with 1451 stations and 20 600 bikes. With its large number of bikes and stations, and seamless integration with other forms of public transportation Velib has greatly increased bike commuting in the city and acted as a model for similar programs throughout the world. Hear from the City of Paris' Velib Project Manager, Celine Lepault, Eric Britton of the New Mobility Agenda, Thomas Valeau of JCDecaux and many enthusiastic Velib users about Velib's operations and contributions to city life in Paris.
