A recent initiative between the London mayor, Boris Johnson and Barclays Bank has seen a bicycle hire scheme introduced into the capital. You can hire a bicycle at designated cycle stands throughout the city and return it to an ever growing number of locations after you are finished. The scheme has also paved the way for additional and improved cycle lanes, it’s all about time!
The Barclays Cycle Hire in London is designed for short use. The shorter you use the bicycle for the cheaper the costs. In fact, pay the £1.00 daily usage fee and you can use a bicycle for free for trips under 30 minutes. There are docking sites located all over the city. It is a cheap, fun way to explore this glorious city. You will find more information at the Transport for London website, www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/cycling/14811.aspx
The Sustrans website, www.sustrans.org.uk will provide you with additional UK cycling news and provide you access to cycle routes and maps throughout the UK. We hope to CUin London soon.
