Return a cycle

Return your bike to any Velib’ station.

Push the bike clip as far as possible into the bike post. If necessary, lift the bike up into the saddle at the same time to facilitate parking. An orange, then green light, followed by two successive beeps, confirm that the bike is locked correctly.

To make sure your bike has been locked correctly, print a receipt at the station or try to hire another bike.

Any doubt on the restitution of your bike? Identify yourself at the station. If your bike is correctly locked, you will be able to print a receipt. On the contrary, the following message will be indicated: “you currently have a bike out on hire”.

Any doubt ? Call Allo Vélib' on 01 30 79 79 30.
