A lot of places doing this in Europe, I took a shot of some rather smart bikes in Nancy, France, a few weeks back.
The Gab version of the Parisian Velib'! I featured them on my Paris blog this week. THe green bikes are way too cute. I might even get on one of those. CRASH!!!!

Wow, what a concept, and a beautiful photo, too. I love that green against the background.
I see no brakes..... !
Hi John. If you'll look on the left chainstay (facing the camera) you'll see a coaster brake, like the bike you rode as a kid. Cheers.
Brilliant idea - and love the striking matching helmet!
p.s. please read Sambo's tale on my post today.
Snap, I am looking into buying/refurbishing a bike. I am hoping to ride beside the canal du midi next northern autumn and need to harden up various parts of my anatomy over the coming 12 months.
I wonder if you could see your way clear to have your sixpence worth at my travel blog, please?

T'would be most appreciated ...
Brakes?? Oh I guess I forgot where those were located from my youth, hence the CRASHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Snap, you be careful yourself my friend. :)
Thanks Victor - Coaster brakes on a foot lever are a new one on me. English bikes all have hand levers; the French favoured a brake that was activated by pedalling backwards. Personally I like to be able to see how much brakepower is there before I get on a bike!
Snapper, thank you very much for your comment over at my place. I appreciate it very much. I will get the chap to give me a couple of varying quotes.
