Default The BorisBike flow asymmetry problem solved

Afternoon all,

We've wondered aloud about what happens if there is an asymmetric flow of
BorisBikes from one station to another, and how the resulting surplus and
deficit of cycles is resolved.

We need wonder no longer. I have obtained photographic evidence of what i
believe to be the compensatory mechanism:

So, not a lorry, as some had feared. But a hatchback with a trailer.

If you look at the full-size version:

You can see that each bike slot has a letter, either A or B, printed above
it. Any ideas why?

And does anyone else think that trailer looks like it folds open?

Imagine a city where graffiti wasn't illegal, a city where everybody
could draw wherever they liked. Where every street was awash with a
million colours and little phrases. Where standing at a bus stop was never
boring. A city that felt like a living breathing thing which belonged to
everybody, not just the estate agents and barons of big business. Imagine
a city like that and stop leaning against the wall - it's wet. -- Banksy
