What worries me about the London velib is that it's whole purpose is to get people on bikes who usually wouldn't use them i.e. Inexperienced riders. What happens when someone on a velib bike gets crushed by a left turning lorry?
I think that it could be an opportunity to raise the awareness of dangers with bikes and lorries. Boris should get the message plastered across the hire stations, perhaps a message added into the hire procedure somehow?
