  • No, only charged £1, great huh!
  • You’re allowed to hire bikes for 24 hours, but each ride can only be 30 minutes long or else they charge you more, and these charges can get very high.
  • I didn’t mind riding on the busy roads just once, but I wouldn’t want to do it very day!
  • No, it’s not the law to ride with helmets here. I wonder what would happen if that law suddenly came in, and I wonder if they considered it when designing the system.

It is obviously not the law to have to have a cycle helmet in UK? Comment on ride 5 – :-) What about helmets? It is obviously not the law to have to have a cycle helmet in UK?

I can't help but remember a documentary on a girl cycling in a bus lane in London and getting clipped by the back of the bus and being killed.

That is the maximum time you are allowed a bike out. Otherwise, what is stopping people from taking them home when they have paid for 24 hours. Goos system.

Or was this just for others who may want to use the bike? Comments for ride 1 – 1) Did it take two 1 pound payments?

So I'm not sure why I read it. But. I particularly enjoyed the part where you suggested the other reviewer bite you.
