Day 247 ‘London Bikes 2’ – 31/07/10

Another photo celebrating the launch of the London Bike Hire scheme and the new cycle paths in the city.

“A bike hire scheme designed to encourage thousands more cycle journeys in central London has begun. So far, more than 12,000 people have signed up to the idea, far outstripping the 5,000 bicycles which will be available at special docking stations. Transport for London (TfL) has admitted it had been expecting “teething problems”. But it insisted that although members outnumbered the number of bikes, people would not face a shortage. Already, more than 12,450 keys have been handed out to Londoners enabling them to unlock bikes left at 315 docking points across the city. The keys cost £3 and the cost of using the cycles varies from £1 for an hour to £50 for 24 hours. TfL and operator Serco expect to roll out the scheme to casual users after a month.” From the BBC News Website
