When I was in Athens for the Olympics I seemed to spend inordinate amounts of time standing around waiting for shuttle buses to take me between the various venues and the media village.
So for the Paralympics I was wondering whether there were any alternatives.
Sure enough, Pame Volta rent out bicycles at very reasonable rates -- just the thing for commuting to and from my hotel.
I've dropped them a line...although negotiating the Athens traffic on a bike may prove to be suicidal.

Yes, renting a bike would be suicidal. Traffic in Athens is coming back to its chaotic normal, albeit with new roads. Furthermore, I walk a lot and spend an inordinate amount of time helping motorcyclists who have fallen.
That said, perahps your hotel is nearer to the stadium(s) than I think?
