Proposed London Cycle Hire Docking Station - Old St

Why do you think that it will necessarily be a failure. The scheme in Paris has worked well. The more people who cycle the better and if this is a way to get people onto bikes, then it is a very good thing. I agree, however, that we need better security for bike parking. More people cycling should mean that more people will join the call for secure parking facilities and, as a consequence, politicians will feel obliged to act.

Turn tubengers and walkengers and busengers and carengers into cyclists and the world is a better place for everyone.

• things to what Clive said. in Paris it works wonders, imagine getting out of a pub, getting bored of waiting for the bus and having the option to just grab a hire bike! there were more hire bikes then owned cycles in the center of paris. it's a great initiative and a great way to increase cyclists presence in this petrol head city
