Bike hire scheme encourages you to bank at... HSBC


With the Hire Bike Scheme up and running, we can spend the next few weeks doing the interesting stuff: discussing interestingly-located docking stations, best free sub-half-hour routes, and so on.

Here's a candidate for the most inappropriately situated docking station, given the sponsors of the scheme... (it's on Southwark St).

  2. I am expecting to see small boys at road junctions underlining each bike as they pass in their Ian Allan "Boris Bike Numbers" books.

    And who will be the first to ride every bike available? I can cross two off the list.
