Barclays London Cycling Hire
Mayor Boris Johnson’s latest initiative in conjunction with Barclays has officially launched today. The Barclays Bicycle Hire scheme has gone live and you can now sign up to become a registered user online here. You can currently register for a Daily, Monthly or Yearly membership with the yearly membership cost hitting £45.00 which works out at around 12p a day. Additional costs then include the hire fee of the bicycle but this is free for the first 30 minutes of hire.
The scheme could be a huge success, from being in Barcelona in the summer for the previous few years and seeing a similar scheme over there it was something I thought would suit London well. Time will tell if the scheme takes off and runs smoothly.
