Rouge times two
Safety in the streets of Paris suggests that one ring the little bell
and then pull over to the curb.
One can take photos while riding a Vélib,
but coming to a complete stop is best.
...and I did
There is more to this story, bien sûr

And off you go...Pretty photo, Genie. I love the rouge sign and fleurs. Nice pops of color!
Hello Genie:
The red is so very striking and such fun - we love it all.
Very shortly we are leaving for a wet and watery Venice and will, as a result, be 'off air' for a week or so. We shall much look forward to catching up on our return.
That´s so Paris!! I´m glad that you enjoyed riding a Vélib!
So, no 'drive-by' shootings for you! You're wise to pull over when using a Vélib.
Love the flowers in the window!
I am so proud of you! Riding one...or being brave enough to do so is on my bucket list!
Good for you, Genie! And this is a beauty ~ worth ringing the bell and then some.
A third "rouge" with the Beaujolais nouveau!
One of the best ways to see Paris is on a Velib, another is to visit Genie's blog.
Trying to shoot a photo while riding a bike is a bit like trying to text while driving a car....both can get you killed.
Breathtaking red and magnificent windows. Those two things seem to be never ending in Paris, and that is a good thing!
Peter, I hope that you enjoyed a glass today. Holly called to tell me that they were having a glass this evening.
Jane and Lance, I do hope that you will take your waders to Venice as it is reportedly quite deep in water.
Starman, yes, I know. We were very careful as I did not want to test the French healthcare system while I was visiting.
Bibi, that is something that I would have dared years ago. In my mature wisdom, it seemed prudent to stop the bike before shooting. (and pull out of the way of traffic - hah!)
Vreni, you were one who encouraged me.
To all, I will have a post about riding the Vélibs in Paris with a photo or two.
Bises,
Genie
Shell is such a talent and a dear friend as well. Love the plus rouge today. ( I'm certain that's wrong.)

i love this :)
Missed this yesterday—but now I get to see it in duplicate. Shell has done this terrific photo proud, n'est-ce pas? Thought it wasn't possible for us Yanks to use the Velibs (something about American credit cards), but if you did ... yay! Next time for sure . . .
Gorgeous photo Genie, and I love Shell Sherree's illustration :-)
A lovely idea for a photo... I have never tried a vélib!
