Hmm. That's what's confusing me. The keys are mentioned as available
separately for a £3 charge. No link there to membership. I wonder whether
businesses will be able to take out memberships for casual use by their
staff, for example?


Membership sign up is now available. You have to be 18 to be a member
but you can sign up for up to 4 keys, at £3 each, so I don't see why a
business couldn't have a collection of keys.

Once you have signed up if you opt for the £1/day version as I did it
seems you are actually charged when you hire a cycle.

You can opt to auto-renew but I don't know why you would ever want to
do that. Even for the annual access charge you might as well only renew
it when you use it.

Free T-Shirt for the first 1000 to sign up. I'm sure it will be a fetching
Barclays blue and help you blend in with the Cycle Superhighways nicely.
