Arrival in Paris
Thursday, August 16th, 2007I was packing late into the night and thankfully found that my bike fit (barely) into the bike case. About 25 zip ties later the bike was well secured and ready to go.
After a long flight we arrived in Paris. The back half of the plane was filled with Randonneurs. Lorah commented that it was a really dorky looking group of people. You know you’re on a plane with cyclists when people bring a can of Perpeteum as carry-on.
The first thing to do (after checking into the hotel) was to put together bikes. We all had a bike building party on the patio of the hotel.
Now what kind of crazy man would have put so many zip ties on their bike?
There’s a bike room off the lobby of the hotel where people store their bike cases and bikes.
It’s a great social area because everyone frequently stops by to check out the creative innovations that people come up with for their bikes.
