Bike Tours in Paris ??

Does anyone have any info on any special guided tours ?? We will be in Paris mid september and are looking to either hire bikes for a couple of days or if not take a tour .

My wife and I are going to Paris in early Septebmer and we plan on checking out Mike's Bike Tours www.mikesbiketoursparis.com I can't vouch for them, but it looks like fun.

Hey Simon, you really want to go with http://www.parisvelosympa.com/GB/ (Their name means 'Paris by bike is cool'!) Check out their English website. HTH! = )

Here's some information about renting bicycles in Paris: You can rent bicycles at several locations, and rental includes helmets, locks, all necessary stuff including baby seats. The first four places also have organized tours at various levels; some of the others may - you should call them if you're interested in a tour. Many quais along the Seine are closed to automobiles for a time on Sundays - good time for riding.

Ive tried mikes tour before & it was good but I tried Paris Bike Tours in July and was even more impressed as the tour was less hectic and consisted not just of younger bikers. Very relaxing at a steady pace we thoroughly enjoyed it . You have to reserve by phone though on 01 43 90 80 80 . good luck & happy biking

thanks everyone , looks like i'll be nursing tired muscles.

On Sundays in Paris they close off the streets along the Seine to vehicular traffic and open them to bikes, skates rollerblades,etc. We had a great time two years ago riding bikes from one end of the Seine in Paris to the other. This year we plan on renting bikes in the Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes.

Hello Simon ,try Paris Bike Tours and if you can ask for Steven as your guide , he was excellent.My family & I used them a couple of weeks ago and were very impressed by how professional & informative they were. We reserved via the hotel but you can do it yourself on 01 43 90 80 80
