I had assuemd that these 'bike scheme keys' are RFID devices - so the
terminals must already have RFID readers. So the necessary hardware is
probably already there.

There are many different kinds of RFID. It's not automatic that every
reader can inter-operate with every kind.

Just to back that up, I have an RFID reader which can recognise an Oyster
card but I couldn't get it to notice my cycle hire membership key.
