Baguettes and Bicyclettes

Here are some typical French bikes and their riders, taken over the course of the week:


French postal bike.  Note the front rack and built in kickstand for extra stability.


Panniers seem to be the most popular type of bike luggage



Nice panniers

Full mudguards and dynamo lighting is pretty common

Vélib (the Paris bicycle share program) is quite popular
