You should be able to sidestep things somewhat with a key fob, though
perhaps best not to expect perfection - there still seems to be some
degree of sketchiness to the system. One observation is that if the
payment terminal is sick for whatever reason, presenting the key fob to
the individual docking point generally still seems to work in terms of
getting hold of a bike.

I signed up for a fob when it was launched, and although I've only
used it a few times, I've found it can takes a few attempts to get a
bike out the rack. At least I now know it's not just me.

Though you were successful when trying a *different* rack / docking
point (rather than the same one)?

Last time trying a different rack a few minutes walk away worked, but on
a previous occasion none did. Each time I just got endless flashing
yellows, IIRC.
