Cycle Hire south western expansion goes live today
 
* An additional 2,000 bikes and more than 150 new docking stations
around Clapham Junction, Hammersmith and Putney.
* An increase to the area covered of more than 50%. The scheme now
covers over 100 sq km of central and inner London

The blurb says London has the second largest such scheme in Europe -
presumably Paris being in pole position.

Just had a horrible thought... Fockstons, er sorry, Foxtons becoming the
new sponsor of the scheme... shiver!

Thanks. There is no way this is a 50% increase in area covered! It looks
around a third to me.

What's wrong with Foxtons? I have enjoyed their Mini liveries for years.

Avoid Foxtons at all costs. They're hopeless as estate agents and as

If my mother was still alive and i was still working in Westminster that
would be useful, with docking stations close to my childhood home, sadly now

My mother counted herself lucky to have got her letting out of their
