I've just had an email with that subject:
"Following customer feedback, we are upgrading Barclays Cycle Hire so
that you can set up separate bike access periods for any additional
keys, hire a bike from the docking station terminal using the payment
card registered to your account and view 12 months of transaction
history online. ..."

Until now, I've had 2 keys: 1 annual and 1 daily.
To do so, I have to have 2 accounts with distinct credit cards and email
addresses.
It is a particularly stupid arrangement. When I opened an account, I
wanted to have 4 keys: 1 annual and 3 daily - each account can have up
to 4 keys. The trouble is that using one key on an account charges all
keys on that account. I decided not to go for 4 accounts.

This is a HUGE improvement.
Users now need bikes and empty slots at all stations.

Has anyone details of a Windows Mobile Boris Bike ap?
I'd even pay a small sum.
