Bikes in London

Renting bicycles has never been easier in London.
Not only are they conveniently located around the city, but the ease of payment, and the cleanliness of the bikes make it so convenient and an attractive way of transportation.
Picture from here
I tired renting the bike in Hyde Park and rode it for 3 hours! They have special roads for bikes, even on streets.


All you need is a credit card, comfy clothes, and some energy and you're all set.


You rent the bike at a mini kiosk right by the bike stands, and use your credit card to pay. You then get a receipt that has some serial number (consisting of only numbers 1,2, and 3) and you punch it into the machine that locks the bike in, and the bike is unlocked.


Fast, easy, convenient, couldn't have asked for more.



PS: Don't forget to return your bike

  2. I've seen them in e-mails but always assumed it was a concept that wasn't implemented yet, such a great idea
