I have seen a U Tube Video of these Vélib Bikes being Stunt Jumped over Obstacles ,Down Steps,Up Ramps and then Dumped in the Seine. I have heard that one turned up in Romania and a few other Countries. They seem to be very Heavy from what I saw in the Films and Photo's. I was last in Paris in 05 and have never actually seen these in Person. In Dublin we were supposed to get a Bike Vélib in Spring 09 but now I have heard it will be September and they will on
