We went to the Marais looking for apartments for him, then saw Cyrus (it sucked), then biked from Les Halles (a sort of shopping mall) to the bar. I had heard that there are bike lanes; what I did not know is that bike lanes are also bus and taxi lanes. So I haven't ridden a bike since I was maybe 8, and now I'm doing so (rather unsteadily) while busses and taxis speed past and hoping they see me before they hit me (or before I hit them, also possible considering my biking skills).
I don't think this is something I'll be doing again, at least until I have some sort of insurance.
Hahahaha I love this. I did a bike tour while I was there, during Bastille Day. Busiest day of the year in Paris and it had been at least 10 years since I'd riden a bike. Scariest experience of my life.
