These bikes near Place d'Aligre remind me that today is a "rest day" on Le Tour de France. I do not think that any of these will be found in the race when it resumes on Tuesday.

Have a great week !

I suspect you are quite correct! Fun post for the day, Genie, mon amie! Hope you have a wonderful week! Enjoy!

Belle photo artistique, Genie!
Wish today was a day off for me too! Thanks for the photo.
Looks almost like a sculpture at Beaubourg! Enjoy your day and the coming week, Genie!
What a mess! :o)
Great photo! But imagine having to free your bicycle out of such a mess... On my Vienna blog you find a photo of barbie´s scooter today. As I see in your photo, she was in Paris with her "vélo"...
Only in Paris......!
Melange is a great description, Genie! Makes untangling chains in one's jewellery box look like a picnic.
That's a bit like my 'jumble sail' Genie, I bet every one of the owners knows exactly how to get to his 'steed', I would have the red one!!
Wonderful image - such a collision of spokes, a tangle of rubber and melange of metal. Chaos at it's best. Congrats.
Colourful bikes, in the "Tour" they become more and more futuristic. We follow it every day on TV. Mostly I look at the beautiful landscapes of France they show and not at the cyclists...
a wonderment of wheels.
I almost forget entirely that it was the Tour de France! Mon dieu! Thank you for the reminder Genie. Nice colour bikes.
It reminds me Amsterdam! :)
Wonderful colors in this picture.

Very colorful! So glad I don't have to dig a bike out of that melange!! Hope you have a day of rest after your busy weekend. Bisous.
Like Shell, I think you've nailed it with the word 'mélange'.
So that is what vélos means! I've seen it before but was not sure.
Maybe it would be a lot more fun if the Tour riders had to use real bikes like these. Wonderful photo, Genie!
This is great, Genie! I wonder if they're all still there since you took this shot—they almost look like they're locked to each other!
Thanks Genie for adding a bit of color to an uneventful day... and a hint of things to come, perhaps?
Cheers from Montreal.
What wonderful, colourful bikes.
I don't know why, but bicycles in Paris make me think of love.
And I definitely love this! xo
Maybe with $50,000 added to them.
fab photos. glad I found your blog
That's quite a cluster. I'm looking forward to the Tour resuming. I love the scenery! (I actually saw signs during my recent trip announcing that the road would be closed. So bummed I missed the peloton et al.)
These wheels might not make it to the Tour, but perhaps you could avail the officials of your photographic skills? Love this Superior Snap!
Hee... some of those bikes on the TdF cost more than my car! I doubt any of these do though. :)
Keep on biking, Genie!
This is a nice, colorful tangle of bikes. I was in Oxford one year ago and I have never seen more bicycles in one place than there. The whole city was a tangle of bikes. (And I bought myself a new bike last weekend, just because I wanted one.)
Un beau rayonnement de cycles...
gros bisous.
