Here in the States, you ride with traffic, obeying the same rules and staying over in the right 3 feet of the lane. But I can't imagine riding in a crowded city like Paris! Maybe someday I'll be brave.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621552249179937594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-21385418383164533862011-02-24T11:15:40.609+01:002011-02-24T11:15:40.609+01:00Thanks for that I was just trying to get movivated...Thanks for that I was just trying to get movivated to get on my bike and here it is motivation I need on PDP .jaqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05391675770580600786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-24250706532030636672011-02-24T09:59:06.462+01:002011-02-24T09:59:06.462+01:00PHX, Alexa, having crossed Place de la Condorde by...PHX, Alexa, having crossed Place de la Condorde by bicycle several times in my life, I can tell you that it is quite easier and less frightful than crossing Place de L'Etoile (other end of the Champs-Elysées!)...<br /><br />Fot that matter, the Rue de Tilsitt and rue de Presbourg, which are turning aroung Place de l'Etoile, are usually called "Rue des Lâches", i.e. Cowards Street ;-)Thibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788623808410470446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-53500115449364111662011-02-24T07:31:58.240+01:002011-02-24T07:31:58.240+01:00Biking in Paris is definitely not for the faint of...Biking in Paris is definitely not for the faint of heart!
