You push off from a small storefront marked by a bright blue facade, wheels humming as the city wakes. Cobblestones rattle beneath you for a block, then the avenues open and the Seine dares you to follow its curve — bridges, quays, and the Eiffel Tower’s ironwork sliding into view like a landmark cue. A full-day rental in Paris hands you a simple currency: time. Pedal, glide, and stop where you want.
