What an excellent idea, we used to have something like this on the promenade in Colwyn Bay in the summertime. But that was more to make money than health issues.
I like the angle you have taken this from, and I am very tempted to take a ride. Nice shot x

Would this be considered "foofy" with all the pedals? I really like this one Dr. Quinn. Nice shot and very informative. I think that's a good point about this site. We learn other things going on in the world without some newsperson telling us. Good angle. Now if a flower salesman were to use this he would: use "Pedal Power to peddle his petals." I think that's right.

I love the diagonal of the bikes and the lighting in this shot. You are very creative with this one, Adriana. Good idea, and it is a very good picture.

The mark of a true artist, to see the potential of the everyday things that others walk past without even seeing. Great job!

In Paris, like most European cities...the use of bicycles and public transportation is highly advised and promoted, due to the high price of petrol, and the limited amount of road space available for higher volumes of traffic...Road travel for most, is something that is done mainly for job-related functions, on weekends, or when one is on Holiday...Great image here...Thanks for sharing!

Don't know whether there is a difference in bicycles for men and women in France or not. If so, it seems to be that this 'rental programma' is only meant for women Adriana and that would really a pity as I suppose that mostly men have to improve their condition, lol. Very interesting and nice image!

Nice idea Adriana! The angle and shapes created by the line of bikes is visually pleasing. I wonder if they would have a domino effect! :) ;)

Is an excellent idea, here in a city called Aveiro they have this kind of bicycles too.
Very good shot.
