Timecodes:

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
