On my recent blog entry at Cockpit Chronicles, I wrote about the incredible time five pilots and a bunch of other interesting people had on the night bike tour offered by Fat Tire Bike Tours. Our guide, John from Houston was what made it outstanding. Even though he had his bike stolen only hours before the tour, he managed to give us a unique look into the city of Paris as only a Texan could. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend taking one of these tours. They’re also offered in …

Thanks. Les Yeux Ouverts from the French Kiss movie soundtrack. Amazon has it.
Nice video
Can you tell me the name of the song in this video? Thanks
We rode the tour in August of 2006,both day ride and the night ride that included the river cruise..
Best way to see Paris….
My family enjoyed it much…
this guy’s a piece of work… Texican huh?
Great! Tell ‘em you saw the video on YouTube. They’ll know which one. Yeah, those were some Miami pilots we happened to meet on the trip. What a great time! Have fun!
That is the best video. I came across it when I googled the tour. I am a flight attendant for the same airline you work for (Miami based) and was looking for more information about the tour. I have plans to do it on Thursday. That was the best information I could get. Thanks!
BTW, I recognized on the boat that you went with numerous pilots (easy to spot…plus I have flown with one)…how did you ever get them out of the crew room? LOL. Safe travels!
hi Kent,
you’re right . Everywhere in the world, just a smile is enough
hi helobelow
thanks for your nice private message
I like watching your videos…I like to see how you enjoy your stop overs…I’m from England and although people think the french are arrogant…they’re not really…one thing I noticed when with my french friend is that when you go into a shop they are happy to help and will say hello to you…in england sometimes you dont get the personal touch that you get from paris or france…
I definitly wouldnt have a problem with living there…it just feels warm all the time…
helobelow ,
. That’s a politic problem sometimes , but not a human being problem .
I am french and you must know that most of french people like American people. Newspapers aren’t always true , you know
Nice people are everywhere in the world … bad people too
LOL! Yeh i got a bad taste in my mouth from the dumb ones Ive met and shouldnt generalize, and Ive never been so i may be a bit hasty in my judgement. All the best and it did look like a good time!
Part II: I hate to generalize an entire population, but I love the independence that the French people seem to espouse. It’s refreshing to see a country that believes in charting it’s own course.
I haven’t run into a rude Parisian during the seven years I’ve been flying there. If you’re polite, they’re polite, it seems. But there I go again generalizing.
Thanks Helobelow.
I’ve come to a different conclusion. I like how France has worked hard to protect it’s language, it’s culture and the things that make it unique.
France looks like such a beautiful country and I’ve heard the Southern France country side is remarkable. Glad you had a wonderful time! It’s just a shame the French people tend to have that pompous and arogant attitude towards Americans even here on You-Tube and much of the research I’ve done through documentaries. It makes it hard for me to appreciate what the French have accomplished.lol.
John seems to be a little bit crazy … but funny guy and guide .
How long does the tour last ?
cool video man
