    So much better than riding the Tube and unless you get sideswiped by a taxi drive, so much…read morehealthier! And you can't beat the price. £1 for 24 hours, though you can only use the bike for 30 minutes at a time with 15 minutes in between. Great for seeing parts of the city you wouldn't otherwise see. And for someone like me, who tends to get a tad lost, you get to see even MORE of the city. I picked up one bike near Hyde Park Corner and rode it to South Kensington. Then a second from South Ken to Sloane Square. And a third from Sloane Square to Victoria. The downsides: - You must have a "chip & pin" card to rent. American "swipe & sign" cards are not accepted. - It's quite frustrating when you do finally manage to find a cycle rack to return your cycle and all the slots are full. While you can add another 15 minutes of riding time for free, you're not where you want to be. - The three bikes I've rented had an annoying tendency of shifting gears at the most inopportune times. I nearly banged my chin with my knee when it slipped one time. Also, the bell didn't work on any. - The fenders are great, but you will still want to lift your feet when you go through a puddle. The upsides: - Price! - Convenience! - Health! - Very easy to operate. Slide the seat to the right level and off you go. Would I rent again? Yeah, I think so. Tips: - You really should get a bike helmet. No, they're not stylish. But then, a fractured skull won't win you Project Runway. - Set a count down timer on your phone for 20 minutes so that you know when it's time to start looking for a cycle rack. It would be really great if there was a decent iPhone app for this!

    Boris's bikes have got to be one of the best things to happen to London in a long time…read more On a Friday I went on an adventure at lunch. I picked up a bike at the back of Smithfield Market and rode it to Covent Garden. The journey was quicker that it would have been on foot and far more pleasant then taking the Tube. On a Saturday I borrowed a bike on Clerkenwell Road and rode it to Spitalfields. On a Sunday I hired another and went to St Paul's and over to the Southbank. All of these are journeys I otherwise would not have taken, or at the very least would not have been nearly as enjoyable as they were on a bike. I find myself now waking up at the weekend thinking about where I'm gonna ride. With more than 300 hire points located throughout central London and 5,000 bikes in total, I have high hopes that it will help London become a kinder, gentler place. The bikes feel a bit better than the Paris Vélib' and the front basket with its elastic cord held my purse snugly. They're still ironing out the wrinkles in the scheme but with the exception of one small snag, I've ridden these bikes at least ten times without incident and enjoyed the experience tremendously.
