Default Bye Bye Wolmar

That is also my experience of nearly 10 years working in Westminster. Even
when the bike wasn't actually quicker bike was so much more predictable than
the tube between Westminster and King's Cross.

I can reliably ride a Boris bike from Cannon St to Euston via Holborn
in about 21-22 minutes (I think). By the time you've faffed about with
the silly one way system on the Tube at Bank (they won't let you use
the lifts nor the spiral staircase in the evening peak, despite both
being available and working fine in the morning, so instead you get
crammed down into the Central Line or DLR platforms to get to the
Northern Line) I'm not convinced it isn't slower to go by Tube.
