'''VélôToulouse'''<br>
Since November 2007, you can rent a bike from one of the [http://www.velo.toulouse.fr/les_stations/trouver_une_station 242 stations]. First, you've got to pay 1 euro for a day, or 5 euros for a week, then the first  30 minutes are free, extra time costs up to 2 euros/hour. Stations do not allow you to take a bike from 2am till 5:30am. You can return it at any time.
You'll need a visa card. Read more on [http://www.velo.toulouse.fr VélôToulouse webiste]<br>
Note about the spelling : ''VélôToulouse'' is the concatenation of vélo (bike) and Toulouse (no need to translate). So far, nothing tricky. So, why this circumflex ? '' 'ô' '', preceding a proper name or a noun, is used to formulate an emphasis when interpellating so or sth.<br>
''ô Toulouse'' reminds everybody of the famous song from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Nougaro Claude Nougaro] simply called '' 'Toulouse' '' (''Ô mon pays, ô Toulouse'').

'''Maison du Velo'''<br>

You can rent better bikes for less money at the "Maison du Velo" (House of bike). They give you a proper decent bike, a lock, then you're responsible for the bike. You can also rent an helmet and some fancy accessories. You got the choice between 6 models of bikes (3 folding-bike models)
It cost 5 euros for a week, 10 euros for a month, and 100 euros for a year (you can use it all night long ;) ).<br>

Open from Monday to Friday, from 8:15 a.m. to 1:30 p.m and 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. <br>
