Thing #8 that I love about Geneva - The Lazy Cyclist's reward

I stand resolute in my stance that Geneva is a cyclists paradise. But. But, into every cyclists life a little hill must climb.

Some of us are lazy bastards (but just un-lazy enough to get off our butts and peddle a bit). Some of us are good hearted souls, who having not had our coffee that early in the morning, just can't quite face the prospect of biking up the steep incline that goes from the flat plain of Geneva to the higher grounds of the city.

Fortunately, there is a solution, and quite a lovely one at that. There is an elevator (with a big honking "no bikes" sign soldered onto it) that with the push of a button will not only absolve you of the penitence of the harsh early morning exercise of getting up the steep hill, but also will reward you with one of the most lovely city bound views of Geneva.

As I see it, when the gods decide to reward your idleness with a view like this, you can't be doing no wrong.
