Knew that this was coming but had never paid too much attention to it but realised last week it has started and looking at the info on the website looks ace!

Thought there would be hardly any bikes and hassle of signing up etc. but there looks to be loads of bikes and stands and can use it for up to 30 mins for 'free' after paying only £1 for 24hr access fee.

I'm sure there will be issues of nicked bikes, rubbish bikes blah blah but looks to be really feasible alternative to tube for getting round London next time I'm down, can't wait to try it.

Lots of bikes, the only down side is that you could cycle to your destination and the bike park is full which is annoying.

Tried this for first time yesterday. Cycled around laughing like a loon the whole time. Took a while to get there as was too scared to turn right half the time!

The gearing may not be to everyones choice (!) but I followed my inner Rother and decided to stick it in the biggest gear and avvvitt!

The best fun you can have in London with your clothes on, maybe.
