Carolyn has always loved commuting by bike. It keeps her fit and sane. -20 and snowing was never enough to stop her riding her bike in Calgary. Paris has this wonderful bike-sharing program called Vélib, which you've probably heard about. It's fantastic, with 1900 stations in Paris. Carolyn even has an app that shows, in real time, how many bikes are available at nearby stations, or, if dropping off a bike, how many free slots. Carolyn just has to swipe her card, which is the same as her transit pass, and she can take a bike. There's a small annual fee, but no charge each time to use a bike, as long as it is returned within 30 minutes. Most of her commute is along the Seine.
