Cycle hire

2010, " remarked: The Mayor's new cycle hire station at the east end of Southwark Street looks complete, if anyone's interested. And TfL leaflets about the hire scheme have started to appear in tube station leaflet racks. I picked one up this morning. They have/had something like that in Copenhagen, which I saw. The bicycles were not in a good way, I might note. Didn't they have a scheme like that in Paris, and the bicycles simply disappeared? I saw one in Lausanne recently, where a chap was assiduously filling up empty racks from a trailer (I did wonder what the carbon efficiency of that was in the event he drives a few miles to deliver just one bike... but no doubt over time it works out. Here in Brussels they have a scheme, this is a rather jolly advert for them (I presume): http://www.flickr.com/photos/46604657@N00/270337240 But I did note a rack outside the Central Station was completely empty yesterday. -- Roland Perry |
