StreetFilms has produced an excellent short video on Vélib, the great bike-sharing program in Paris that inspired so many others around the world. Almost 1,500 bike stations are spread all over the city, with over 20,000 bicycles and 3 million subscribers have saved about 10 million kilometers of car trips. This is a real world demonstration that bike-sharing does work. We hope that the world is paying attention.
