I've got to spend september in paris for work, and I need a bike. I need to leave mine in London for the weekends, and I need something to get about on during the week. It needs to be big (i'm 6'3"), cheap and in Paris. It'd be better if it was vaguely possible to ride it in a suit and posh shoes. Any forumengers in paris with a spare suit-friendly hack knocking about? Or any ideas where to pick up a cheap second-hand ride? (no jokes about pigalle, please)
If this doesn't work, I'm onto the mother in law's town bike, and looking like an arse (she's 5'2" and the seat post won't adjust...)
Velib is out, btw, for various reasons mostly related to laziness, forgetfulness and living about as far away from a velib stand as it is possible to get in paris!
I'd be eternally grateful if someone could hook me up.
