Instead of flagging down a taxi or booking a car to get from point A to B while traveling, why not hop onto a motorcycle?
Cities like London and Paris now offer motorcycle chauffeur services for those who want to beat the gridlock and have a little fun in the process.
Adventurous and time-conscious travelers alike will be interested to learn about several new motorcycle chauffer services like Virgin Limobike in London, which will transport you around Central London for $40 to $160, and to and from local airports for $105 to $175.
In Paris, Citybird Paris lets you book motorcycles on a per trip basis or for specified amounts of time, with an hour costing about $85, and a half-day $280.
Both services provide weather-protective clothing and feature in-helmet radios for driver-passenger communication, but can accommodate only a few small- to medium-sized pieces of luggage.
