Arguably TfL's Finsbury Park cycle park can fulfil a similar role for
regular commuters, though you obviously need to supply your own
bicycle!

I've no idea how many people do use if for parking their bike
overnight. Also, one wouldn't want to get there in the evening and
find no space because it was still full up with the bike's of 'daytime
parkers'. I must sign up with them at some point just so as to check
it out and give it a test run.

I haven't really been following developments w.r.t the cycle hire
scheme - where are we (/is he) at with that then? And is it going to
work?

Curiously enough, the first 400 sites have just been announced, and
they're not at stations apparently.

It's suggested that NR aren't co-operating (presumably because they take
too much space up), but there seem to be some near enough to stations to
be useful, including the Albert Embankment near Vauxhall and in Waterloo
Road.

It's definitely being seen by TfL as part of a modal shift away from
public transport in Zone 1, though. It'll take Oyster.

TfL's press office will apparently supply a list of sites on request.
