Il y a pile 2 ans, je faisais mon premier trajet #vélotaf de Montparnasse à Saint Denis, et je suis arrivée au bureau avec un énorme sourire ! Presque 10 000 km plus tard, ça reste le cas :)

Déjà récapitulons dans ce premier tweet tous les éléments qui vont suivre :
1. Vous déplacer à vélo vous rendra plus heureux. C’est pas mal comme objectif non ?
2. Tu n’es plus tributaire des aléas du RER / métro / bus / train
