My very poor quality video of my first trip on the velib in Paris taken on the opening day of the scheme ( taken using the video fuction of a compact digital camera at night, I’m away from home so I don’t have the facilities to add a cool sountrack ). My first impression of the scheme is that despite some teething problems it works very well, the bikes are great and the system is easy to use. The main problem is getting one as the whole of Paris seems to be velib crazy.

Stunned is taking a break until August. There may be an occasional post but I wouldn’t guarantee it. Why not advantage of the summer to try a Joyce Walk.
I will in Paris during July and I am planning a few Joyce Walks to which all are invited to join me. check the site for details. (click findwalks > search for Paris). If you are in Paris during July and want to plan your own Joyce Walk I’d love to join me send me a text my mobile number is on the about page in the Joyce Walks site.
A nice video of Lu with Nico and John Cale in the Bataclan Club in Paris in 73 after the demise of the Velvets. I saw a program about his live performances of the album Berlin which he’s doing at the moment and listening to him murder his own songs was unbearable this is a reminder that he used to have it once.
