Boris's Bikes!

Mayor Of London, Boris Johnson's new cycle hire scheme has been up and running for over a week!

There are 400 docking stations across London (there are plans for more in the future).

Its a good and cheap way of making short journeys, but if you need a bike for a couple of hours or more its very very expensive!

In the long run you would be better off buying a small folding bike, which you can take on the tube (or bus) and then unfold it and cycle to your destination.

Nice idea Boris, but i don't think i will be signing up anytime soon........
