Help with Paris hotel and possible Languish meet

[mongers]

So tell me, would I be taking my life in my hands if I intended to cycle across Paris ?

15 years ago, yes. It has changed since then. You're not a Velib user I hope so the drivers will respect you more (hipstersVelib users are notorious for completely disregarding road rules).
Way lots more cycling paths now that when I was a kid. I'd recommend cycling as well in the Bois de Boulogne and Vincennes during daylight if you can for some green cycling.

Oh no, but they do look slightly superior to the Boris bikes, of which I challenge anyone to do more than 15 miles on in a day.
The 'green' cycling tip sounds good. cheers

I cannot say the same thing about suburban US...

I like to hit bicycles.

Exactly. Same here in the city.

Thanks for all the tips. I'll be there 11-13 June.

The problem here is that you are not really going to Paris, more a sort of Gallic Croydon
