Dotted all over London are these cycle hire stations
and if you know what you're doing it's a really beautiful way to see the city
It's very easy! £2 for 24 hours as long as you bring it back within half an hour
There are 700 docking stations and 10 000 bikes
and I can never seem to find one!
to hire the bike for 24 hours is £2
and then all the rides that day are free AS LONG AS each ride is under half an hour
so on 29.7 minutes, re-dock it and select a new bike
How are you getting on?
I have to wait 5 minutes before I retake the bike
Oh right, because you've just docked one
Yes, I'm very impatient
Otherwise, each extra 30 minutes is charged at at £2
Sounds easy enough to me
A whole load of terms and conditions
which I'm going to accept
insert my card
and on my receipt there's a five digit code which you must punch in over here
the red light means it's damaged like this one, so don't use it
Of course, you can go to the TFL website and for £3 you can apply for a special key
and it deducts the money straight from your account
This fellow is using the app on his phone
You can also use it to find nearby docking stations but I'm old-school,
I prefer to use the map
Now be careful you dock it properly and the light goes green
otherwise you'll be charged extra
This has now expired so I have to go to the machine again
So I have to wait 5 minutes but this time I won't be charged
even though it still needs my card to check I've paid
And we're ready to rock again
It even has gears, and a bell
Off you go. On yer bike!
You're not allowed to ride on the pavement!
but the bikes are on the pavement!
You have to take them off the pavement and onto the road!
