 You pay a paltry 19 Euros per year for a pass. Then you walk up to a
 Velib bike rack, swipe your card, take the bike, and ride it. If you
 ride for less than half an hour, when you check it in at the next Velib
 site there is no charge. If you ride that particular bike for longer,
 there is a very reasonable charge.
 
 So I went out bike riding in Paris. 

Any of these for hire? Yanks can always do it better -
wave your freak flag high, and all that.

 So, you rode a bike today.

 Sounds like a great idea, biking in Paris!

 The city of San Antonio has been designated

Might help if the bicyclists themselves were friendly.  Most of them 
behave like elitist assholes.

Barry: You've got to have an ace in the hole!

You've got to have an ace in the hole.
A little secret that nobody knows.
Life is a gamble, a game we all play,
But you need to save something for a rainy day.
You've got to learn to play your cards right if 
you expect to win in life.
Don't put it all on the line for just one roll.
You've got to have an ace in the hole.

 Wouldn't be a bad walk if it weren't mostly uphill.

You're going to drive your car two blocks? Go figure.

You don't know the hill.  I'm mentioned here before it lacks a sidewalk 
and so you wind up walking in a street that has blind corners.  Very 
unsafe!  I've mentioned on local blogs it is a tragedy waiting to happen 
and the city needs to put a sidewalk all the way up the hill and widen 
the street so there is a bike lane going up too.  But I'm sure the 
property owners would stick it to the city for that little strip of land 
needed.
