The system is owned and operated by the city authorities and co-financed by the JCDecaux advertising corporation.

  • Vélib’ (“vélo libre”, English: free bicycle) is a public bicycle rental programme in Paris, France. Starting from July 15 2007, 20,000 bicycles are available for rental from 1,450 automated stations distributed across Paris. The system is owned and operated by the city authorities and co-financed by the JCDecaux advertising corporation. Bike rental is free for the first half hour, then costs one to four euros for each subsequent 30-minute period. The increasing price scale is intended to keep the bikes in circulation. A credit card is required to sign up for the programme and to rent bikes. As of 2007, similar schemes are also in effect in other European cities, including Barcelona, Brussels, Copenhagen, Lyon, Stockholm and Vienna. The bikes are available at any time of the day or night. Theft is minimal because of the unique design of the bicycles, their highly secure parking facilities and because payment is via credit or debit card. If a bicycle is not returned the hirer is charged around £100. The Paris scheme has been an instant success, with the distinctive Freedom Bikes now seen all around the centre of Paris.
