Lately, I’ve taken a break from the technical publications about R and informatics in general. This is mostly because I was distracted by a more immediate problems: the choice of a bike for this academic year. My contract with the Metrovelo, the most popular bike-rental company in Grenoble, has expired around 10-th september, pushing me to reconsider my travel choices.

In Grenoble, as in many other european towns, the transportation choices are more versatile than in Moscow, or any northern cities in general. So what are the alternatives?
